Similar idea, but different molds.

Default Updated Pad Layout

Here is an updated version of the Launch pad I had posted before.

1.) This one allows you to angle the front two legs enough to give you up to the 30 degree tilt on the rod. It also allows for multiple rod arrangements.

2.) The legs would have bolts and wing nuts on them to tighten them in place. The tops of the aluminum tubing would have the spacer plugs to keep the tops of the tubes from squeezing up.

3.) The Aluminum tubing is increased to 1" diameter.

4.) The main body of the pad would again be based on have two symmetrical parts that would be put together with a couple of bolts and wing nuts. When you tighten the wing nuts up, it locks the rods into place.

Edited below (added #5 and 2 additional pictures)
5.) Added the Lander style bases on the aluminum tubes.

Nice. I like the additional width, and the ability to support three rods at the same time. The two-piece approach now makes more sense, trapping the rods between the halves.

BTW -- What software are you using for your drawings? If you mentioned it before, I didn't pay attention...

I usually use SolidWorks for the 3D CAD designs. Makes it easy to make changes and update things.

Thanks for the feedback. The design still needs some tweaking, but the concept is pretty close.

Default Starter Sets Revisited

As you can see by the post date of the previous message, it's been a while since we last looked at this idea. It's probably been as long since we had any messages about "Designer's Specials"...

Have we come to any firm thoughts about what kind of "basic parts package(s)" might be viable for first-time builders, or even for someone wanting to refill their parts bins?
