Today we received some parts that we had waterjet cut from 5052 aluminum by the awesome Big Blue Saw shop. These will be the base for the mechanism that will open and close Chloe’s v2.0 steampunk wings. The parts were designed and laid out by Chris Lee (a.k.a. Dr. Torque) using Inkscape, Illustrator, and Rhino 3D. They were exported as DXF files and uploaded to Big Blue Saw for cutting.
The whole assembly is about 14 inches across. The final wingspan will be about 7 feet. Stay tuned for updates as the build progresses.
