its similar to aluminium so it can't be too much.
thanks

has anyone ever built anything out of alumide?
is this a suitable drum spinning bar?
i wouldnt make a drum from aluminium as i imagine it will bend out of shape or even snap on impact- but i have never built an ant or even seen an ant so what would i know
If it was a traditional-style drum, normal aluminium tubing would be fine. It's usually the preferred option in antweights I think as steel tubing is probably too heavy.
But with a drum of the above design, I don't know how well it will work. I've heard that the metal-based 3D printed objects tend to be much more brittle than their 'normal' counterparts, so it's a possibility that that drum could shatter from an impact.
Can't provide much more info apart from that though; one of the antweight guys may be able to shed better light on it.
thanks.
could I get this Milled with a cnc.
or are there any other materials that I can get printed
I would just get a piece of aluminium tube and add some teeth possibly made from small bolts
I will start saving weight on the model
anyone who has used alumide tell me.
edit: sounded a bit rude.
what exactly is that ment to be archie?
my drum spining blade
always like tl be creative
took about 3hours
how did you do your drum harry
ah. okay.
is it atall balanced?
not really a drum, thats more of a beater.
the last drum i had was made for my by will, but my new one i am making myself, its a bit of alu round bar, turned down and with m4 bolts tapped in as teeth, or to hold a long bar on.
oh, and you say you want to get it printed? really bad idea.
