### Sourcing components
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section aims to ease the sourcing of all necessary components for the windkit.
|
|
|
The [BOM](3.Tools and materials/1.Bill of materials) categorisis the components in different categories. These categories also give guidance of where to get what part.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Hardware store for component category - COM-STD
|
|
|
|
|
|
* In a hardware shop you should get all parts of the category COM-STD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Special supplier for component category - COM-BUY
|
|
|
|
|
|
* All components of the category COM-BUY need special suppliers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Self-designed components to manufacture - COM-MAN
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Laser parts
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Laser parts are self-designed components that are cut out of flat metal plates. Therefore they can´t be bought of the shelf. They need to be manufactured by a metal workshop with an apropriate laser cutter.
|
|
|
* Each shape of each component is stored in a seperate file
|
|
|
* The common file format for laser cutting is ".dxf"
|
|
|
* The folder ["LaserCutterFiles"](https://git.erni-kollektiv.org/erni/windkit/-/tree/master/Export/LaserCutterFiles) within the Windkit repository contains ".dxf"-files of all components that need to be laser cutted
|
|
|
* The filename consists of the name of the part the material it´s made of the thickness of the material and the amount needed. See the following example:
|
|
|
* UpwindMagnetDiscS235Steel6mm1Pcs.dxf
|
|
|
* Name: Upwind Magnet Disc
|
|
|
* Material: S235 Steel
|
|
|
* Thickness: 6 mm
|
|
|
* Amount: 1 Piece
|
|
|
* Download the files on your local machine
|
|
|
* You can have a look at the files with the open source 2D CAD software [QCAD](https://qcad.org/en/)
|
|
|
* Send the files to a local metal workshop with a laser cutter and ask for a quote for the amount of pieces you need
|
|
|
* After ordering it normally takes 1 to 4 weeks to get the parts
|
