JD2 bender die model

A 3d model of a JD2 tube bender die. Dimensions from the prints available on:

Thinking about casting one with lost PLA in aluminum, but it will need adjusting for shrinkage and finish machining allowance if I do. I made it as accurately to the print as possible, so if this model is used for casting the OD will be too small, tube cradle too large, and holes too large. (Remember the metal will shrink in size, making all negative features larger as well as positive features smaller.) Also supports needed on the leg will mess up the surface so that will need allowances as well. May just redesign it to be two pieces that snap together before the investment dip. Still in early planning stages at this point.

I know the radius for the tube is a bit rough, limitation of TinkerCAD. For some reason this PC won't open
