Although since it is hard to judge scale in a 3D drawing program, it appears I overengineered the screw connections a bit as there are at least twice as many screw connection points than necessary.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2089 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/index.php\/archives\/2089\/dsc_0616'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0616-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"USAXS in construction, view 1\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2090\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2090'>\n\t\t\t\tUSAXS in construction, view 1\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/index.php\/archives\/2089\/dsc_0617'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0617-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"USAXS in construction, view 2\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2091\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2091'>\n\t\t\t\tUSAXS in construction, view 2\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/index.php\/archives\/2089\/dsc_0619'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/lookingatnothing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC_0619-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"USAXS in construction, view 3\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2092\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2092'>\n\t\t\t\tUSAXS in construction, view 3\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The gallery shows three views of the current state of the instrument design.

That meant that the mount for the motorized actuator is 1 mm too high, which interferes with the rest of the design. So I now have a bit of an apology to make to the workshop, and I&#8217;ll have to ask them to make the two offending pieces again. It may not seem like a big issue from the outside, but for me this blunder has hurt. Anyway, time to get over it, fix it, and get on with designing the next parts.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Patrick Saloga for taking the second series of images!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The BAM workshop came back to me with the 18 requested workpieces.
