Amanda cut four bearing sleeves for the frame pivots, cut the tubes, and pressed the ends into them.



I modeled and cut temporary bushings from LDPE. Later these will be replaced with custom UHMW bushings, with metal sleeves.




While cutting them, I was away from the ShopBot doing one of my other multitask items, and a piece of the LDPE melted onto the end mill and caused a little damage to a couple of the bushings, but they'll still work to get everything lined up, with a little hand finishing work.
