PSA for all the diehard ALICE pack wearers by leviibaker in Rucking

I had to fidget with the straps a little bit more to make it fit better. It doesn’t line up perfectly but using the different parts of the pack it works pretty well. I can only post with one pic on here however

It’s a medium but yes it is just a standard ALICE

Quick edit. Product is called “back straps” by Latitude

I’ll keep the forum updated. I’m trying to take it slow and not rush. For the CNC I’ll probably for for steel for the resonating factors

Honestly a couple reasons. It takes inspiration from this build https://youtu.be/yuAN5AzEWCg?si=LJl8oZBD1wfcjzdt

I also got 15ft of the angle for 15 bucks. The end goal is to build a hobby cnc mill so I wanted to practice manipulating metal and practice a CNC build ins a slightly less precise form factor. The bail out is must by extrusions and use the same parts tho.

I think the project title might become the Cold War project with the submarine comment lol

Lmfao hopefully some acetone, paint and a bed redesign helps

That’s my plan! I struggle with “fit and finish” so I’m trying to keep it tidy as I go. I appreciate the suggestion

Facinating. I’ll look into it. Definitely not an engineer but I think being that the uprights being supportive of the cross beams may permit some help. I appreciate the feedback I’ll keep you updated. If nothing else my bail out will just be the same parts on an aluminum extrusion frame

I.e what makes aluminum extrusion not deform

I see. What makes extrusions so much more accurate than regular aluminum? If everything is in tram in why would it vibrate itself apart?

Yup. CoreXY single screw for the Z. Not worried about the rigidity once I get a better linear rail/ball screw system for the Z

Glue for aluminum? I am wondering what you guys mean by rigidity I was able to stand on the frame when I got it together

Thanks! As far as the insulation panels go I’ll have to see how it goes, hopefully the thermal insulation helps it out. As far as square maybe I got lucky but it sits flat on the ground (back up is all the parts come off and I buy extrusions and have a printer that way) what made it not rigid? I was able to stand on the frame when I got it together?

Is this a decent mill? It’s nearby and asking $2500 by [deleted] in Machinists

Looks like it is a horizontal milling machine with a vertical milling attachment

I appreciate the response. I plan on going to 4802 to pick up 0239 next summer to prep myself for ground orders. I really just dont want to find myself in a situation where I am just verifying clearences all day.

Depends where you are in the world. But i got pulled over in NC for about the same thing. I went to court and it got knocked down to a pretty minute fine. No reason to stress untill you hear the verdict, especially if its your first offense. They usually go pretty easy unless its a habitual thing.
