Umbilical

DraftShift Design

Overview

This guide will walk you through the assembly of an Umbilical.

Bending

Spring steel can snap rather easily when bending. Before bending, heat the area with a blow torch or lighter to a cherry (dull) red and let it cool. This helps make the steel more ductile and allows you to bend without snapping.

More Information

More information and photos can be found in N3MI's original usermod.

  • Spring Steel .3x3mm by length needed x1

Assembly

Heat up spring steel and bend into shape shown below. The first bend should be done 12mm from the end and bent to 180 degrees. The second bend should be done 6mm from the bent end and bent to ~60 degrees.
