Just wanted to share a little something with you guys from the
TDR
Skunk Works. I have been spending way too many hours at my computer pushing this new high detail rapid prototype material to new limits.
It is tough for me to photograph but what you see here are bolt/washer pairs and nut/bolt/washer sets for 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch bolts. These nut/bolt/washers were printed up using the new FUD material on Shapeways. You will find the heads to be of correct size and shape (including the bevel on the nuts and bolt heads and the washers are SAE washer size (correct for automobiles).
Look for a complete line of "plastic" hardware from TDR
Innovations in the very near future.
Now for the best part. Those rodends you see in the pic are 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 rod ends. They are the correct size and shape for the Aurora high performance rod ends in real life. Now here is the kicker.......they are actually functional!!! That is right, the ball in the end of the rodends actually is free to move inside the frame of the rodend, just like the real thing. So now all those suspension systems out there can be truly fully functional!!!!
Here is a link to our new hardware store. Everything is not in there yet but it will be soon!!

I will be interested to hear some good ideas of future hardware projects and use of these new rodends.
