<div>I will do the work myself, and not hire it out professionally. I built my K-350 and it was $40,000 after all the gadgets were put in and I hired out alot of work because I didn't know how to do it at the time. I did a comparative analysis on weight to dollar. My K-350 at $40,000 and 4,500 lbs is comparative ofa 10,500 lb sub would be $93,333 if you add more for acrylic costs my rough math seems to jive with the $125,000. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Scott, I have no experience with any large pressure chambers, but I am sure you are talking well into the thousands (perhaps $15,000 to $35,000) depending on how long it takes to set up the required tests (and perform them).
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>I truly admire your ambition, but like Hank suggested, 1000 feet may be a better 2nd sub goal. If I were planning to go beyond 1000 feet, I would be looking to Nuytco, SeaMagine or Triton but of course cost is then a major issue again. Does anyone know about how much Karl spent building Idabel? ~ Douglas S. </div>

<div>Any idea as to the cost of pressure testing that kind of pressure? </div>
<div>Also, I am not a engineer, but am fairly good at designing things in my head. If I designed this in CAD, does psubs have a good way of sharing CAD files for who ever would like too look at my designs and bounce ideas off of? </div>
<div>I would love for this project to be a way for psubs to increase overall psubs knowledge of cutting edge and affordable solutions for things like sonar and manipulator arms and things.</div></div>

<div>So is the design of crush depth of 1750m and test to 1250m the idea? Next question is where can you find a pressure chamber that has 1670psi capability?</div></div>

<div>
<div>I am playing with the idea of building another submarine. Here is what I am thinking.</div>
<div>1) This project needs to be as challenging as the same amount of difficulty as it was to build my first submarine</div>
<div>2) I want to have lots of bottom time with my K-350 to learn what needs to be improved on in design and ability.</div>
<div>3) Learn to use CAD </div>
<div>4) Project will take 5-7 years to complete</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div></div>
<div>
<div>My initial goals are</div>
<div>1) Hold 3 people</div>
<div>2) Weigh 10,500lbs or less</div>
<div>3) Depth of 3,300 feet (1000m)</div></div>
<div>4) Have a very effective range of abilities such as a good manipulator arm and tooling</div>
<div>
<div>5) Have a wide veiwing maybe a acylic dome front</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Ok, shoot holes in the ideas. What will be the main challenges to overcome? What complications am I not considering?</div>
