LoL, my machinist told me that titanium eats flutes (bits) like it were a pencil sharpener, haha.

Yes, i know nothing matters but Yield strength, and modulus strength. Iw ould have only made the bottom chassis out of titanium anyways, it would be pointless for the braces, as aluminum would prob even be suited better for that part, as it is just more bulky. That's where alum. wins, is for bulkiness (for a given mass), which makes for a rigid part, whatever that may be.

thanks for the comments.
