Hi guys,
I did something dumb and cut my wraith cage. i have glued it back together, and it kind looks cool, but also looks a bit s##t. Instead of buying another cage and getting it shipped to Australia (shipping costs more than the cage!!) i have this great idea to try and make one.
Here's the thing. I have never welded before and have no idea where to start.
I'm actually a mechanical engineer (from Uni, however I don't work as one) so have a great theoretical understanding of engineering, and I've built many many things.. just never welded. (I have hundreds of hours soldering)
I see this as a perfect opportunity to learn, and also a really fun little project.
I couldnt find a thread on it here so I figured I would start one.
my question is, what type of welder should I get, what things should i look out for, and really what have you guys done when welding your own cages/frames/various RC things?
Thank you so much for your time!
