Hello guys, I have a 120x50x50cm tank currently being made, I plan to make an extruded aluminium stand for it (and skin it externally at some point). I saw there was a thread here a couple years ago which was a useful read. I have made a stand with a shelf in some free CAD software using 4040 profile. I've contacted the company but haven't heard back yet to make sure my order is correct, I plan to use anchor connectors since it seems they are very strong, they are also inside the profile which will allow me to skin externally without no profile showing. Do I need to buy x46 anchor connectors? I have 23 pieces of profile in my basket, if I get each end machined to accept anchor connectors, then it's as easy as 23x2=46...right? Any advice is much appreciated.
