Metal standoffs

[katheiser]

Anyone know where to buy aluminum standoffs? Looking for 35mm long with M3 threads all the way through. A google search did nothing really. Looking for 6 only but maybe more.

Haha i nee a freind like that. You could always buy one a little too big and cut it off.

Yea for sure. Let me know if you need something. I'm thinking of making some motor adaptors to tilt my motors forward like they have on getFPV.

The shop I work out of has very few machine tools, the guy is a semi-retired (still doing jobs for his son, church, and a friend), but I can make most anything there, maybe not anyway near as nice though haha.

I was going to make a CNC but then I got into quads, it would not be too hard. And have made a lathe for aluminium outta a drill that is geared really high and a hand grinder. It works PERFECT.

I make a lot of my specialty tools xD, like a hot wire cutter, dremmel press (for PCB), and a lot of other things, but this shop is FULL of tools to use, but they are all older and most for wood work and a few different types of welders, bearing presses, and cutting torches for basic steel work.

Hot wire cutter? We may be talking soon......

Haha, it will cut 1/8 wood, I built in 5 minutes, but the hardest part is getting the power and wire right, it is C shaped like a drill press, and works GREAT for foam ans plastic. Surprisingly easy to make.
