Hello, I am planning on making a drone helipad for outdoor use. I need a bright orange filament that will not fade or be worn down by UV, what material/filament should I use.
ASA
Morning - my son works as a lineman apprentice and wants a hook for the bucket truck - I found a hook file but is ASA strong as well as good for outdoors?
Yes
Will the hook be performing any kind of safety function or supporting significant weight in a field environment?
No idea what you’ve already considered but in any application that could affect safety/lives, you always want to consider failures and their consequences.
I believe it is to hold rope and other tools, nothing for a safety function
Not trying to derail, but if things could fall with a failure, that could be a safety issue for anyone below.
There’s special requirements for a lot of the tools and bits used in high voltage line work. It could be only utility-issued things can go up in a bucket. There’s lots of formal testing that goes into a lot of that stuff. I don’t know there are requirements but just saying it might be worth checking to prevent a safety infraction or injury.
I worked with some guys that did line work and they had to comply with all sorts of regulations is why I mention.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you - I will ask my son.
