Re: Mip 4x chassis
Might work for dimensions if you have a CNC person like Jake
Wouldn't work for the pin router method tho

Re: Mip 4x chassis
That would be really cool. I'd like to see how accurate my drafted versions are. Even a scan would work if you have a scanner it would fit on.Y'ernat Al wrote:What if I traced mine onto some other media that the USPS could easily handle, and you could keep forever??

Re: Mip 4x chassis
Not yet....if someone can scan theirs and get it to j-Sou that would be a great start, or if anyone has a used one to lend out I can make a copy that way
I don't want a NIP one, it's just too risky between shipping, scratching, etc

Re: Mip 4x chassis
Did anybody ever source a set to copy. Theres probably a few of us who can draw it up and or and cut it. The only issue I see is getting an original part set in hand.

Re: Mip 4x chassis
Scans are not very exact. If a guy has the rest of the parts that match up and some dimensions, then its doable,, but best is to have the originals in hand and cad them up. Rectangular plates, with a bunch of holes,,, a very quick job!

Its very noble that you all want to copy a chassis that MIP made 30+ years ago. Most of the owners I know if not all will not allow there's to be scanned, traced or whatever. To much money & pure luck for some already spent, and much to rare and hard to find for others to justify.
Good luck finding your unicorn! Maybe Eustace will re release them for you.

Re: Mip 4x chassis
It's a difficult thing for sure. Some are happy knowing theirs are original and want one they can run. Others see it as a way to pass a copy off as an original. We have people 3D printing the parts for these already, so at this point a reproduced chassis is just a matter of time. Be it me or someone else. I can totally see both sides for sure, but I don't see MIP wanting to do this so someone else will have to

Re: Mip 4x chassis
so does everyone that wants one of these chassis' have all the other pieces they need? Are we talking about just that rectangular piece of g10?

Re: Mip 4x chassis
I have a trace of that 4X chassis on a thin piece of cardboard. I traced it from a new in pack chassis I sold back in 2010. It has all the holes marked and slots. Don't know if that would work for you.
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.

Re: Mip 4x chassis
Same here. I can't bring myself to use a replica chassis on my 4x though. That's the one thing that's holding up my build!shodog wrote:I have all the necessary parts, I just wish I had a chassis.
