Hartley Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Saw this on Flipboard. It could be interesting for DIY cart building. It is a Kickstarter but the idea is solid. https://www.infentorides.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Cameron Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looks like this is constructed from 80/20 stock. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 yeah, someone has spent some time on 8020 or ITEM and made it a business model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'll play devil's advocate on this one. That 80/20 stuff is expensive. I believe I was quoted around .53 cents an inch for regular T-slot stuff. The only issue I see hear is that you can't compete with Walmart prices for similar products. So, these kits will be for those parents with 1. disposable income and 2. lack of skills. I only say "lack of skills" because this kit only teaches you how to assemble something, kind of like legos, not create something from raw materials. "Making something from nothing" is a lesson I rather teach my kids. If I wanted to teach them how to assemble then I'd just buy something cheap from IKEA. Okay, I'm off my soap box.

davidm Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Great find Hartley. Let's hope they can get their online store up and running as there are potentially some very useful components for cart building. Their aluminium sections are labeled with their own branding but seems to be similar in profile to Item rather than 80/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartley Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 It looked a little light for a full size cart but quite possible to haul a bag around with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
