Description
I Have Not Printed It Myself Yet - But Thought I Would Share The Design So Far - The Full Thing Or In 3 Printable Parts (You Will Need An 8Mm X 150Mm Steel Rod & 6Off 5Mm X 20Mm Dowel Pins - Or You Can Try To Print Them) 16/03/15 Early Days, Just Printed The Prototype (Took A Good 7 Hours) And Although The Print Is Not As Good As I Hoped (Few Gaps) It’S Not Too Bad – Needs A Bit Of Acetone To Smooth It Out Before Spraying With Silver Metallic Car Paint. Realised The 3 Sets Of Holes Only Allows As I Designed Or 120Deg Rotation Of The Parts – So Not So Good For The 1/10 Left Handers Out There – Sorry About That, I Didn'T Mean To Discriminate. So I Might Change That And Have Two Or Four Holes. Also The Parts Don’T Properly Mate (Flatness Of The Top And Bottom) – Very Slight Gap Between Them, Probably My Printer Or Print Settings – Not Sure If I Should Put Them In The Lathe To Finish The Face Off Or To Use An Acetone Slurry To Fill The Slight Gaps. Another Thing I Noted Was The Ribs On The Base Part Could Have Printed Better So I Might Make Another Version Such That The Ribs Are Printed Separate And Can Be Glued On Using 416 Next Step – Fill The Gaps Or Machine, Mask The Ribs And Spray Metallic Silver Any Feedback Is Always Welcome To Help Progress The Design Thanks Me!!
