Just add design decisions, considerations, and updates etc. Treat this as a paper trail.
The goal is that a random person should be able to pick up this log and get a really strong idea of your project and how it has reached the state that its currently in
Criteria:
Base needs to be sturdy
Ribs need to be (perfectly) parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the base in order to ensure curvature accuracy
Limit cost/try to use material already in the bay
Constraints
Ribs are being made out of metal
First Design
Base Cad: Using pipes already in the bay, a simple frame to support and hold the ribs was crafted. The tubes are 1.25” in diameter and aluminum.
The tubes (grey circular) will be welded together using a jig, and the ribs (Orange) will be welded with the same jig.
