I'm New Here
Long-time lurker, first time poster. Firstly, thanks to this amazing community for the near-infinite amount of knowledge (I won't dwell on that point too long, you all already know you're awesome).
I'm a new-builder, received my empennage in late May and have been slowly building ever since. Along the way, I've designed a few different things to help with my build: Cleco stands and trays, storage bins, rivet set holders, trailing edge wedge jigs, etc. The picture below is of (almost) all of the things that I've designed and printed for my build so far, and I thought who better to share this with than the Van's builder community! If you're interested, I have a detailed blog post on all of the parts here: https://www.jeraero.com/2021/08/13/3d-printed-tools-initial-backlog/. And if you just want to go directly to the STLs, here's where they're hosted: https://thangs.com/jwilliams2020/JerAero-RV10-Assembly-Tools-23840
Most of the prints:
p.s. Advance apologies if you thought this was the ever-fabled complete set of 3D plans for the RV-10, alas, I haven't discovered those yet - if someone has, please let met know (I've been flirting with the idea of measuring and recreating each part in CAD as I build, but I fear that's going to add another year or two to the build)
