You're quite right, the hollowed out section can be done away with as can the recessed area's where the suspension arms join - take a look and you will see what I mean. Nylon / Delrin seems like the right choice but I will also wait for some feedback from the engineering company that I am in discussions with.jwscab wrote:you will want them out of nylon 6/6 or delrin. the nylon is probably cheaper and most likely a bit 'stronger' as it 'chips' less than delrin does. if you get it in white, you can also dye it
the other thing is you can make it cheaper by making your prototype/drawings have less features. It certainly doesn't need to be hollowed out underneath, this saves a ton of machining time and setup. think of it as a simple 'block' construction and it will be cheaper AND stronger.
