I am looking to build a 8020 stand and I am looking to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I am looking based on 8020.net and looking for opinions part numbers etc for the leveling feet, fasteners and end caps.

I am looking to build a stand 16 x 18 x 36. for the extrusion i am thinking going with
45-4545


45mm X 45mm T-Slotted Profile - Four Open T-Slots

Sweet; hopefully you can get some better answers than I could provide for you.

This will take a couple of hours of work to get you a list. Time which I don't have right now. Would suggest contacting your local 80/20 distributor They do this type of work.

i dont see how it would take couple hours lol if you already had a order all you needed to do is copy and past. but it's cool i am sure someone will respond.

Most likely because @reefwiser isnt home, is in the middle of dinner, etc. Or possibly it’s been a while and the info is not readily available and has to be searched for.

Well have have built a lot of stuff with 80/20 in my work as a maintenance man. There are a lot of details. An one of the reasons you don't see alot of them used.

I think i have most of the stand done. I am just looking for mounting options for skinning the whole frame. I was thinking using some sorta ABS board and glue some magnets on the boards?

I want to see how people skin their stand
