Can't wait for part 2 ❤

Very clever, hacking a new part from an existing CAD file!

👍👍😎👍👍 Of course we don't know the operating loads, but material couples can be a critical design feature for moving parts to prevent galling. Had the customer considered if a different non-metalic was feasible? Or if increasing the cross section at the failure location was possible? Maybe this arm failed because something jammed and the arm was actually a fuse in the system to minimize damage elsewhere? It's always exciting to reverse engineer a part and then discover what design details were never shared or known 😉. Thanks so much for sharing the CAD/CAM details on this very interesting project. Looking forward to Part 2

Huh, I would have thought the gears of the two paddles mesh with each other.

Just curious how much would you charge the customer
