ohhh ok so totally not true....lol!

Anyhow I love it when people make things easier by getting all the parts in one place so you don't have to pay extra shipping here and there.

prototype universal frame kits

bottom rail drilled and tapped (production holes will be more accurate). bottom rail is 36" long and drilling are for (3) 36" top rails
multiple holes accommodate heatsinks from 100-140mm diameterupload_2016-8-8_5-8-48.png

current plans are 24"x24" with holes drilled for 3 heatsinks x 3 rails
36" x36" with holes drilled for 3 heatsinks x 3 rails and 4 heatsinks x 4 rails
48"x48" with holes for 4x4 and 5x5

also short single bar ends if you just want to run one row instead of an array. similar to this design. that could be 3 heatsinks instead of 2 and a driver.

Is there really a demand for those? I mean if you cant drill holes you probably shouldn't be diy'ing anything electronic lol,just buy a panel.i would say you need to be around 20 bucks for 2 x 4foot rails shipped to make it worth my time to NOT just drill them myself.
I know there will be a few who find these useful but most the diy community is a very handy bunch :)

Everyone's circumstances are different. It is not that I cannot drill... more that it will just be much easier and cheaper for me to go with the rail kits!

Yeah rather than just mass production of 36in rails with a bazillion holes maybe he should just offer custom rails made to each growers specs.you would have less stock.lying around and way less holes drilled which is time,which is money. I mean a guy running 36v cobs at 1050ma will have a much dif setup and spacing than a guy running 72v cobs @1050ma.
We'll see i guess,i was shocked to see how many people jumped on the mau5 kits @the markup just because its easy

i dont want to custom drill stuff. i want to have off the shelf stuff that i can outsource by the 1000. i dont have time to drill and tap all day,.

you also dont have to mount your heatsinks. that 2-banger fixture i have in the pic just has them sitting in there. not sur eid be comfortable with 9 like that though

Looking great so far guys! Any plans on getting some far reds or some blues? That would be sweet! I am sick of paying three or four different companies for shipping and handling. Thank you. :joint:
