Tweaked the step design a little today made it longer and put some holes in to shave weight also move the bolt hole in to add some more meat behind the hole.....gonna 3d print one tomorrow and if I like it order a set of aluminum ones....ordered lone wolf stand offs today also, hope fully I will have one together in a couple weeks.

Check out bigbluesaw.com for DIY waterjet cutting. Reasonably priced, quick delivery.

You have CAD so you can just upload your DXF files and get instant quotes. I suggest you look at 7075 aluminum for the strength, more $, but stronger since you are not welding.

That’s who I’m going through.... $16 each is the price I got from them for 6061 1/2” thick... I had never looked into 7075 I may check into it.

7075 has about twice the yield strength of 6061(74ksi vs 40ksi), but can't be welded. It is easily 3 to 4x the cost of 6061 though....

Actually just checked the price of .5” 7075 t6 is the same for the quantity I’m ordering.

Had a 1/2” x5/8”x1” price of 6061 welded under where the steps will sit then a 1/4” grade 8 through that with a stainless insert on the back side..... the welds are mostly to keep the block from twisting the bolt will hold the weight it’s self.

Why that shape?

Mostly for looks kind of to match the style of the steps... I knew they had to be only 3/4” wide to get them to do what I want but in prefer to work better for daisy chain webbing they needed to be taller.
