Trolley - parts preparation

Step 1

Take 100 x 100 mm with 3 millimeters thick wall square profile. Use saw to cut it 130 mm long. Be sure that the rectangular cut is achieved. Smooth the rough edges with the file.

📘
Parts:
3 x 100 x 100 x 130 mm square profiles

Step 2

For marking the positions of the holes use laser cutted wooden box (mock up). Place 100 x 100 x 130 mm square profile into the box. Put a nail into the small holes on the box and punch it to make a mark on the profile.

📘
For the right positioning of the holes you can alternatively use the hole table and the associated technical drawing, found on Github.

Step 3

Use the center punch and the hammer to deepen the marks for the holes, which will serve as a guide for drilling.

📘
Jump back to the Guide for Drilling Holes
If you need help with drilling holes refer to the Guide for Drilling Holes in the second section of this Step-by-step assembly instructions.

Step 4

For the type and the size of the holes use a mock up box where the hole sizes are specified. Related surfaces are also marked on the mock up box.

📘
Alternatively you can use hole table on associated technical drawing for hole sizes, found on Github.

Step 5

To make threaded holes, firstly drill the hole aproximately 15% smaller than the nominal value. Then use a hand tap to cut in a thread. When rotating a tap make sure that it is perpendicular to the surface.

📘
We recommend you use machine grease to reduse friction, in order not to break the tap.

Verify the threaded hole with associated bolt.

📘
Use additional hex nut instead
Instead of making threaded holes, we can instead use additional hex nut, which is added to the inner side of the Beam Short.
