Hi All,
Just wondering if titanium would be a feasible material to make the support rods out of....
Price aside...seems like it could be a good solution??
But again, if it's good then why hasn't anyone done anything with it?

Would most likely cost an arm and leg. Dont know that there is a market for it...cost vs. weight is not enough to justify it.

Im gonna make some.
I just love the idea way to much.
If its somewhat affordable.

I would try the Ultra rodz from ET before you go to all that trouble and cost. They are pretty light.

I've hear the Ultra light rods don't support enough weight. Is that true?

Just got a 24 inch set of ultra rods from ET and believe me they are strong!

i looked into getting some Ti rods made. the best quote I got for custom rods was $85/Kg for Ti grade 2, plus $125 shipping from china.
the lead time was about 6 weeks though.

Nice kit Pawel!

Expensive metal, very difficult to machine and melts around 3000 ° F. Production cost wouldn't be justified.
