Staxxon's second prototype: 20' x 8.5' CIMC dry container retrofitted to fold vertically to a variable width, allowing up to 5 containers to be nested (stacked and locked together), then moved and stored in the space of 1 container.
US Patent #: 7,703,632 B2
Issued: 27 April 2010

Caught this prototype SUV in Hermosa Beach, CA, undergoing some testing. Looks sporty with the two exhaust pipes and the 5-spoke wheels, also the dash has a curvature to it ... what could it be? The new Porsche Macan perhaps? The next Audi Q5? The American version of the new Opel Mokka?

Soft Rubber rapid prototype, Hardness is generally between shore A 30~90 degrees, because soft rubber plastic prototype has flexibility, it is widely used in the rapid prototype industry. The processing method of soft plastic rapid prototype is relatively single, and it can only be processed by vacuum Casting - that is use 3D printing or CNC processing to do a prototype, and then use vacuum casting /silicone mold to copy the prototype, generally a prototype can be copied 15~20 time.
Silicone Prototyping Material Properties
In the general plastic industry, PP, PE and other light gravity, material surface hardness is relatively low plastic known as soft glue. And PS, ABS, AS, hard PVC and other plastics can be called hard glue.
Heat resistance properties
Silicone products are silicon - oxygen (Si-O) key chain structure, C-C bond energy of 82.6 kilocalories/gram molecule, Si-O bond energy in silicone is 121 kilocalories/gram molecule, so the thermal stability of silicone products is high, high temperature (or radiation) molecular chemical bonds do not break, do not decompose. Silicone not only can withstand high temperature, but also low temperature, can be used in a wide temperature range. Both chemical and physical mechanical properties change very little with temperature.
Silicone Prototyping Material Info
Brief introduction

Soft rubber rapid prototype is mainly processed by the way of silicone compound mold, its advantages are fast time, less cost, good operation, no deformation, no shrinkage, easy to dismantle the mold, the mold surface is smooth, the simulation effect is good, the probability of processing failure is small. 10-20 pieces of the same product can be copied by using a silica gel mold. Generally, a set of silica gel mold can only be done about 10-20 times and can not be used. Reuse can produce deformation and large size error. Soft rubber hand model because of these excellent properties, so its application is very wide, Soft rubber hand model production steps can be divided into three steps, before making silica gel mold, first of all to make a prototype, the prototype can use the more common ABS material, can be made by CNC processing or 3D printing; After the original is ready, began to make silica gel mold, after curing, the silica gel mold is cut, take out the prototype, at this time the silica gel mold is ready; The liquid material is injected into the silica gel mold and dried. The service life of the silica gel mold is about 10-20 times. In the raid prototype industry, as long as the soft adhesive material is PU 8400.

Every prototype I build has a Lego brick somewhere. Not by design, but they're just so handy. This time: their consistent size makes them ideal for leveling out the frame once I ran out of washers.

This is branded with the M8 logo, but it's actually a prototype M9 with a serial number in the very very low double digits.

The lightbox prototype, with 4 RGB LEDs and a simple arduino sketch to bash bits down SPI and make it light up. This is based on part of the MeggyJr (and Peggy 2) circuit. Right now it's only using 1 LED controller to make sure I have some vague idea what I'm doing, but it's a start.
I'm not driving the LEDs with enough current. I'll fix that this weekend.
I'm sewing a shopsack clone from xpac, but before I go and mess with that hideously expansive fabric (it's vx-51; very heavy for xpac, and priced to match. It's not as expensive as cuben, but it's still expensive enough to make assembly/cutting mistakes painful) I need to make up a few out of the cordura I've got lying around from the bag old days when I made bags out of that (not even close to waterproof) fabric.
No handles on this bag yet (a heavy webbing was requested and I've not yet figured a way to bind the ends so they won't immediately fray) but I'll get around to them after I make up another prototype (the top zipper isn't working out as well as I want, so I have to revisit that design BEFORE I start taking needle to xpac.)
