The Blender files have the components and ya can measure in Blender to get the dimensions, but this post is to help simplify which hardware sizes as you prototype!

Blade & Lock Magnets

- 3mm diameter x 4mm long neodymium

Elastic Bands

- Any thin bands that are just barely taught at 40mm

Bearings

- ID 3mm x OD 7mm x H 3mm ball bearings

(U shaped bearings might be better for thinner ring-cables)

Screws

- Screws are M3 alloy screws. M2's are only used in the Episode 5 compliant design to hold the front down (these are the sideways screws in front & back)

Is this for the mark 5? I'm not seeing these in the blender file. @crashmarkerspace

Crash Makerspace

It should be under the Hardware collection group! The screws also aren't in the blender file since the holes in the model are where those go.

Can't wait to see the mark 5 files go live

Hey C! The Compliant Mark 5 files are up! They been up for a bit; just needed to make a YouTube vid and such describing it. "Hidden Blade Compliant Prototype 5" Post has em in attached!

Dan 3D

this list applies to the prototype 5? having a issue finding the materials anyway you can link where to buy them (amazon if possible)

Crash Makerspace

Correct, this is the Prototype 5 Parts! I don't have a list of Links since many of my parts are from lying around or variety hardware kits! I'm sure most of these parts are on Amazon if you search for them; you may just need to buy them in packs of 10 or similar.

Ok could you post a pick of the items like the "u shape" barings as well as the magnets I'm assuming they are round based on the Dia given but I can't find u shaped or magnets In the size you listed so I want to make sure I'm looking for the right things thanks

Dan 3D

Hey I've been searching everywhere can not find those bearings in the specs you gave anywhere the best I could find were fir a pair on amazon for $35

Dan 3D

Ok thnx also going through the blend file as well as the stl for type 5 I don't see the mechanism that uses the magnets I rewatched your vids but I don't see the part that uses it would it be under a different version?

Crash Makerspace

If you look at the bottom of the Blade & the bottom of the locks, you'll see where the magnets go! I just now realized that I never showed the bottom of the blade / locks in my videos! Could be a good topic to make an adhoc overview YouTube video for that

Dan 3D

Also I plan to add the whole this to a gauntlet and post a vid of tiktok and tag you in it if that's OK

Crash Makerspace

Yep not a problem! I want to share ideas and encourage makers. Just as long as people aren’t turning around and selling them. Credit for for the TikTok post is good with me

is this hardware also for v4
