@@8020llc If I have a plan, i'm no expert, can the designers tell me what i need in parts? is design assistance free or is that what is part of the quote or is the quote just for the material after the design team looks over my plans?

Too bad I can't download the PDF catalog and get either a comprehensive parts list or the application test on page 62. All 9 times I've tried to download the PDF catalog the webpage goes through 200 MB of download and then just says there was a network error and the download failed. I'm so tired of it I'm not trying it a 10th time. So frustrating :(

Hello! Thank you for reaching out - sorry to hear you're having issues downloading the catalog. In the meantime, we also have the online interactive catalog as well: 8020.net/bookshelf

[@jaksmith6465]

do you have 3d models or wireframe images of fasteners so they can be be used in my CAD model ?

[@8020llc]

Hi, Jak - thank you for reaching out! You can find a free plug-in available for download on our website. AutoQuoter XII is a CAD plug-in that makes it easier to design with the 80/20 product line by allowing you to choose various profiles and parts to use in your design. The plug-in also generates a bill of materials that can be submitted to 80/20 for a quote. You can find it here: 8020.net/aqx

This video contained almost no useful information. Other than looking for the color coded numbers. That was good.
