was thinking about trying HDPE next for an end plate. What thickness would someone recommend for a 19 plate cell? Since I've cracked numerous 1/2" sheets of polycarbonate I would assume 3/4" or thicker. Also, If i use some type of metal stiffener on the outside of the end plates, would it be necessary to use a thicker end plate?
Thanks for the link to the table.
I'm also using 1/4" threaded nylon rods that go down through my cell. Before the end plates cracked I was worried that the nylon rods would either become stripped or break. Should i drill the holes in my plates to a larger size for larger diameter rod, or is there another type of material i can use to bolt together my cell?
I will attach a picture of my latest designed cell (before it broke) once my photos are finished uploading to photo bucket. Hopefully that will help anyone diagnose the issue I've been having. Thanks.
