I get what you're saying but this is what is called the "Jesus Nut". That's because it's one piece that essentially holds your entire helicopter up. To quote the Wikipedia page: ..."whose breakdown would result in catastrophic consequences, the suggestion being that in such case the only thing left to do would be to pray to Jesus, or that the component's importance could be likened to the importance of Jesus to Christianity."
You don't prototype this. You don't make these. You get the tested, real part. There is no scenario in which making your own is advisable. Unless you're an engineer for an aircraft manufacturer who is going to be doing rigorous testing then you should just buy the part ready made and certified.
Lol the meme is the picture on the wiki mirrored and edited
Absolutes always get me scheming. What if you're stuck on a deserted island with only a working 3d printer and a helicopter missing this part? What then? Yeah probably swim.
Use the radio in the helicopter to call for help?
Gilligan already broke it.
I'd say cry, the small loss of water will bring the sweet release of death one step closer.
You build a boat out of the helicopter and 3d printed parts. I'll be a bad boat, but the best case scenario for this 3d printed part is that it breaks under static load
If an aerospace engineer made one of these he would no longer be an aerospace engineer.
Everything else you said is correct.
Hah, Jesus nut
So the design has never changed since it was made? The engineers have never needed to figure out an upgrade or slightly different way of doing it?
Of course randos don't make them in their garage, but somebody does make them, and I don't see a problem with experts incorporating this into their workflow. I don't know why you do?
I think we've lost the context here. The person in the photo self-describes as a consumer - they should not be making this. That's the joke.
Somebody who would be prototyping something like this works for an aircraft manufacturer, and there's probably less than a thousand of such people in the world. If you are one such person you know so.
I'm one of those people and there's absolutely no way I could produce a safe copy of this for less than $1590.
