New ring system

Yup, that’s the plan :grinning:

Basically we want to get kits out to everyone asap and then we will start shipping just the rings as a retrofit. There won’t be like a big delay, hopefully we’ll be able to start shipping rings the day after we get all the kits out.

The ship that they are on got into port today so we’re getting close :+1: :+1:

What I think that he is looking for is an exact layout of where everything will go on the entire sled. A file that can be printed and taped together and glued to a piece of wood to show exactly where to cut, where to place screws to mount the router, where to place bricks, and where to screw in new ring system. I was trying to find this printout as well. So that the entire build doesn’t require any temporary frames/sleds.

the ring gets placed with a template and screwed down to the top of the sled, no
holes have to be pre-drilled

the mounting holes for the router will vary based on the router, use the router
base as a template to drill those holes.

the brick holders just need to be wide enough to hold the bricks, and the
location isn’t critical, so make a couple bars to hold the bricks and
match-drill through the sled for the mounting holes

@Bar Any idea what cost and shipping will be for owners choosing to retrofit?

the guess several months ago was around $40

Because the ring is big we will probably have to ship it in the same flat rate box that the kits ship in so the shipping cost would be the same

Does this pdf still exist somewhere or is there an updated one? The link in this forum no longer works.

Thanks!

This worked great. I just finished (finally) my meticulous Z build. Getting 10-32 bolts in NZ is a pain! Every time I’d go to look, the prices discouraged me and I’d shelf the project again. But this template helped me get everything aligned since I had to make my own parts that were different dimensions from the original build.
