Are you planning to mill the pockets for the trigger switch and MPA-3 as well so that one can easily assemble it with no need to do extra modifications?

MPA3 will be available fully machined ready for install.Quote:

The frame will not need a "rod" to activate the switches, the trigger will be designed for that.
I don’t have concrete answers on the bearings yet, but it is my plan to use a bearing in both the double and single trigger.
do we have a ballpark price yet?
lol, surely you jest…Quote:

What I was thinking was a gas through foregrip design that could accept one of these lpr's in the bottom. I got a new program for the sign shop and needed the practice so below is a picture of roughly what I was thinking. Since a new regulator came in the parts kit and in their "hyper color kit" I know there has to be lots of unused LPR out there for it, I have 3 full working extras and a couple without any parts in them.

The top piece was an afterthought, it is a vertical asa that would go with it. The red is for HP, the yellow LP, green are orings, blue are fittings, brown is the foregrip and grey is the asa. Everything on the bottom is a recreation of the fusion lpr.
... I think I have to much time on my hands... :cheers:
Are we there yet?
With what free time? ;)
Have not even had a free second to even think about this project with the fund raiser stuff going on. ;)
Fair enough. But if you come up with this after the first week of October, you will have to hold one for me up to February so I can bring it with me next time I'll go to the US next year. ;) I was really hoping to take one on this next trip...Quote:

I'm looking probably about a week and a half to get back to designing.
w00t, still trying to save up :p
count me in...im itchin to build me a new pump.. :headbang:
Looks like I came back at just the right time. Looking forward to your work, count me in.Quote:

So what I have gathered:
-It will be switchable from single to 2x trigger
-It will be a pneu-frame. can it be used as a mech?
-It will not be compatable with 45 grips. will it be a 45 frame? do we get panels with it?
-I am becoming very annoying.
did I miss anything? what do we have set in stone as of yet?

First step in recovery is admitting you have a problem. ;)Quote:

The anticipation! Update?
lol, Big changes being made. :)
That's the problem with letting time laps between design sessions. I actually have 3 complete frames designed and 1 about 3/4 of the way done, however I have desided against marketing any of them. :rolleyes:
why? not. if someone will buy them... make them :rolleyes:
I suppose that’s a good question, mostly because the design process is really just a small part of actually bringing one to market. The programming still has to be done, machine set up, program proofing and fine tuning and prototype testing, etc. Doing all this myself takes a great deal of time, effort and headache. So I try get as close to right as possible before getting that far along in the process. And I think each design gets better and more refined after all the extra thought and (re)design time. Not to mention I’m getting better at programming (which has to do with the design of the part) to save time in manufacturing. Some of the older designs would have left very little room for profit because of the complexity in design. (So on and so forth)
Update:
I have completed the design for a double trigger, 86* mechanical frame. It uses AGD triggers and safety parts. This frame was designed with Pneumag conversions in mind and should be very easy to set up. However it will not come ready to install your parts, just a platform to do so. It will come with aluminum grips specifically made for this grip.
I will also do a single trigger version. The model is not done, but is only a few more hours of design and programming in order to cut a prototype.
I still have to program the machining, but have ordered the tooling and I have materials. I should be ready to machine the prototype when the tooling arrives.
This is far from what I set out to do but I just can’t seem to find the time needed to design it.
oooo. can we get a screen shot of the design so far? :clap:
Why put out something you're not 100% on? If what you envisioned is considerably better, why not just wait until you have the time and do it the way you really want it done?Quote:

Well that's just it, because my EP frame design and concept was being severely altered in style and function. I would rather do 3 frames than produce one frame I was not completely happy with. ;)Quote:

Unless I think of something this evening that throws a monkey wrench in the middle of everything I should be cutting the first operation tomorrow. In all OP1 is about 80% of the machining. If everything works out the rest should be a breeze.

thats funny, I went to goggle and typed in "youre awesome" and that picture came up.

Not sure how many updates are necessary, but I came up with a new manufacturing strategy today, designed and programmed a fixture, and redid the programming for the first operation. Should be able to make some chips tomorrow. :cool:
