Introduction
There are different options for the D3D frame that have been tested:
- CNC cut from flat - then welded or epoxied - works best with welding, second best with epoxy (more difficult)
- Epoxied from flat bar
- PVC - appears to work
Frame from Flats
BOM
- 30' of 1/8"x1" flats, $13.50 from Sweiger Shop
- Self mixing epoxy, 3 tubes at $4 each, $13 total [1]
Procedure
- Using 1/8" by 1" flats, here is how you make a frame:
- Cut flats to 12"
- Clean and grind edges to be glued
- Assemble frame over a template
- Fix frame to another metal template with magnetic attachment
- Glue ends with self-mixing epoxy on both sides

Cut Request Template
(can use oxyfuel, plasma, laser, or waterjet)
Hello,
Please provide a quote and turnaround time for CNC cutting for the attached file, cut from 4'x8' sheet, 11 gauge.
I need 6 of those nested sets (as shown in the file), which take a total of 32" of a 96" long sheet. I have more notes on this cut job at D3D Frame (below).
Thanks, Marcin
Download
- Download Layout on a 4'x8' sheet of steel: File:D3dframe layout.dxf
- Download Single nested frame piece: File:D3dframe.dxf
Notes:
- Frame pieces are square:
- 16" for outer square, 2" edge width
- 12" for outer square, 2" edge width
- 8" for outer square, 1.5" edge width
- Save the inner square. It will be used for mounting plates.
- if sheet is not exaclty 4'x8', an edge must be drawn around the frame so that every outer nested piece is exactly 16" on the side.
- 3 nested pieces can make 3 frames (each frame is made of 6 pieces
