Case with lattice

Post date: Apr 22, 2015 1:57:42 AM

Today's work was adding something of a lattice to the case design for rigidity. And (after consulting with a friend that has actually welded aluminum) deciding that milling the bottom from a solid chunk of aluminum is likely to be less error-prone than trying to weld two pieces together.

The requisite pictures:

The top shows the standard isometric view, while the bottom shows, well, the bottom. None of the lattice work is final, but it gives an idea of what I'm thinking about.
