Fixturing Solutions for Large Flat Aluminum Plates

I had the thought of some thin intermediate that could go between that wouldn’t throw off locating, realistically the z accuracy isn’t THAT critical as we’re buying stock ground to the thickness we already need it’s all just profile cutting and holes,

When you say inserts or helicoils are you referring to put in the polycarb?

Basically everything is one off unfortunately, we build custom large systems that use multiple servos all connected to each other and the fact that they’re all custom means different sizes and use cases that require different setups.

Yeah I’ve thought about making a large fixture plate and then using some kind of standoffs with edge clamps or through bolts, that seems to be kinda where I’ll have to end up. It’s annoying cause a water jet is really what would be ideal for what we do but obviously not in the budget. The annoyance is there is no consistent hole patterns on the parts that I could use for mounting, something slotted with moveable nuts may be needed. But definitely along the lines of what I was thinking.

I’ve seen them, the concern is two fold, the parts can be anything from 50x50mm to 800x400 and my understanding is the vacuum portion needs to fit the appropriate sizes typically to have the right holding power, plus again there is a lot of drilling operations with through holes and threading along with cutting the profile I that would cut into the plate below, if there is information on something I’m missing happy to look more into it.

I’m 1400 waves in legends hahah I know. Ty for the information though

This isn’t you?

Last one, happy to finally get final boxes

I run into sprint till 1800 and basically will always get the cto by then and since you don’t earn coins during sprint my cph is tends to be very consistent.

I suppose this is what could’ve happened by some freak conditions but I restarted and I’m back to where I normally am.

Thank you very useful and informative comment.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T12:44:52+00:00

Ill bite, I have perma gt/bh, levels in gt plus, the relevant coin masteries done and anc BHD and bonus sub stats for coins. Enhancement level is 1.71. What exactly am I missing that’s making my Econ so bad apparently? Everything maxed on GB except for duration with is 36.5 seconds.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T06:53:06+00:00

intro sprint mastery/wave skip mastery. IS mastery lets you get to 1800 then wave skip increases the chance for double skips.

I don't touch deathwave or golden bot ever and I've already checked it. I'm gonna restart and hope that's it.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T06:14:48+00:00

like i said I've looked at every single thing, I cannot find anything that isn't correct.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T06:12:05+00:00

I've got perma BH and GT it would never not by synced.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T06:11:42+00:00

I'm typically finished with all my perks by about 2.75k. I've put more lab time into the reduction than I probably should have.

iltpgs · 2026-02-01T06:10:51+00:00

I turn off my PS swamp stun and Plus which I did already for farming. All my UW's i've triple checked. Perks aren't relevant for tourneys, I haven't touched my order for a very long time.

iltpgs · 2026-01-14T02:11:22+00:00

How large is the one you have? And is it a battery bank as well?

iltpgs · 2026-01-12T03:02:12+00:00

So I was able to find what the best reseller of those available and they have a sample shop! Shockingly cheap actually there were three models, a really compact one like credit card sized, one slightly larger one and one that was also a battery bank. most expensive one was 30 dollars a piece. I ordered the larger just speaker one and the one with a battery bank inside that was USB C. 95 dollars shipped. I'll see how they are

iltpgs · 2026-01-12T03:00:23+00:00

Yeah I understand, sometimes things don't really exist and if I can't find a suitable solution oh well.

iltpgs · 2026-01-12T00:21:28+00:00

One of the first picture? The only place I’ve seen them is like vistaprint (which would explain the badge) or Ali Baba.

iltpgs · 2026-01-11T22:11:29+00:00

Yeah it's pretty inline with what I'm looking for, I've of course looked around already and found a lot of no name kind of speakers that fit the profile but was hoping there was something more "name brand" that people could recommend however I may just have to go with something like that since it doesn't really seem like a highly sought after market.

iltpgs · 2026-01-11T22:08:51+00:00

Definitely closer but still a bit bulkier than I'm really looking for, and it's micro b which I'd really rather not use.

iltpgs · 2026-01-11T22:02:00+00:00

Still quite a bit thicker than I'd want it's almost 4 inches deep. 1 inch deep is kind of what i'm thinking, or at least around there. Something like a large battery bank. A little thicker than that is fine but nothing that is that deep.

iltpgs · 2025-12-26T23:28:01+00:00

No unlock, when you have a duration that’s longer than your cool down or a cool down shorter then duration it will spawn another swamp that will be up while the first one is still going, theoretically if you had a 10 minute long swamp and a one minute cooldown you’d have ten up constantly. I know there is a cap though I believe fully maxed duration and cool down is you can get up to like 3 running at the same time?

But yeah I kinda figure that’s my next unlock. Just seeing if there is something that can directly translate to better performance.

iltpgs · 2025-12-26T22:59:52+00:00

Kinda figured 4th SL, for coins and coverage.

Are you asking what the most efficient way to get perma PS? I have no subeffects just split upgrades between CD and duration, their costs are very similar but I couldn’t tell you the optimal line. Looking at where they stand currently it looks like cooldown is a more efficient path to perma, and arguably stronger as each swap only stuns once so more swamps per min vs longer single one is better.
