Overview
There are a variety of these on the page and gives me a good starting point. Since I have never been that connected to reality .. making an exact copy is of little interest. |
Example
I only just noticed that this tapers from the front to the back. Look at the metal tabs that support the grate. The one on the far left is about half the height of the one on the far right. Now looking at the drawing at the top of the page I see the same taper. |
Match Photo
Since we know the grate is 24″ x 36:” we can use that to get at least the long dimension on the grate correct. The other measurements have to be taken with a grain of salt and some logical deductions. From the above I can estimate …
That gives me everything I need to replicate it in a CAD drawing in scale |
Version I
Yep. I was pretty happy .. happy enough to run a test print .. happy. Until …. |

Fantastic I can’t wait for these !!!
I am up and about (cats woke me) so once I fully wake up I will snap a photo of the test print. They came out pretty good .. other than the problem with my lack of measuring skills mentioned in the article! 🙂 .. I see that I need more supports .. or .. at least positioned better for the grates .. but that in part is the purpose of a test printing.
