Si-Tech Orust neck system gluing jig

[HugoRk]

So I had to glue an Orust system to my drysuit. The thing is pretty darn flabby, and the drysuit fabric is even flabbier, I was seeing the potential headache coming. So I made a jig you can 3D print which makes it a fun time where you don't actually question all your choices in life since third grade.

I guess one could say it's a press tool with a male and a female die. And it is a life saver if you ever want to upgrade your suit this way. Shoutout to Luz at Casco Antiguo for selling the Orust system to me and for his awesome service.

If you ever use it, please tell me, you'd make my day.

Cheers

Honestly, I didn't feel up to the task. More power to you!

Is there any reason this would not work for the Si-Tech Quick Neck ring? It is identical in shape just slightly less flexible than the Orust neck ring.

I guess it would work just as well, even if the skirt angle is slightly different. You could tweak it in your slicing software to steepen of soften the angle (scale Z) as well as increase or decrease the overall dimensions if needed. I cut a groove in the male part to accomodate for the Orust inner ring, but it won't be a problem for other systems.

Awesome, even more awesome you released it for everyone and didn't try to make a buck.

Very cool.

Thanks, but I owe this community so much more... I'd be glad if it is put to good use.
