Here is the
Articulated Clear Dome for the Roof Rack.
This version is for those who wish to animate their roof rack. The
Support Rod slides thru the
Bracket and the
Pulley Wheel gets glued to the bottom. Make sure the Rod can spin freely after gluing the pulley on. The
Bracket is mounted on the
Mounting Plate on the rear of the
Rack Cage just behind the
Large Vent.
The Dome itself can be made transparent by dipping in a clear acrylic several times and allowed to cure between layers (
remember: Curing is different from drying, drying may only take an hour or two, curing can take between 24-48 hours). There are 5 parts to this... the
Clear Dome, the
Arrow Base,
Support Rod,
Pulley Wheel and the
Bracket. The
Dome is glued onto the
Arrow Base and the base fits on the top of the
Support Rod. There should be enough clearance for the
Arrow Base to move freely above the
Large Tub Insert Vent. The
Arrow should be painted
Red, the
Base and
Bracket should be painted
Black.
The Dome should be
Clear and unpainted. Once in place, a rubber band can be placed around the pulley at the bottom and fed thru the hole in the back of the tub below the mounting plate. The whole thing can then be rotated using a small servo or motor. You can download this file to print on your home 3D printer, but it's not to be resold or modified in any way. Enjoy!
