Finally got around to making my prototype set. Went in early to work to use the machine shop... forgot my Excursion at home to test fit.

Also knuckledusters for a small monkey?

My machinist was just asking me if I was making a set of brass knuckles for my cat!
Maybe the final design will be more knuckleduster-esque....

Modified the model into a knuckleduster. Only reasonable way to make this is with a waterjet though... or some really small end mills.
let me know if you need testers....
i wish i had a machinist.

The space between the case and the lug pin is roughly 0.130" at most (nearest the lug holes) and under 0.090" in the middle. I want to use thicker (stronger) bungee than can fit through that. Also, doing it that way could potentially bend a break the pin. With an adapter, it makes it a (almost) purely shear force, which should be significantly more robust.
Went home during lunch to grab some bungee and the computer...
I don't really like how the adapters went vertical, but it's a result of me running the bungee round and round, opposed to three independent strands. I did it that way so the computer is still retained in the event of a lug/pin break.

I planned on making them myself, but my machinist stumbled across the file, thought it was a fun little project, and whipped them out on the CNC. I was going to make them on the mill.
still wishing i had any of that.
