8:06 you don't have to hand tap your threads with a diameter that large, just set your lathe RPM as low as it will go and back it out before it goes in to far

I guess I could but my lowest RPM is 130 and on blind hole that’s way more potential for drama than I’m usually up for. 🙂

@retrotechjournal 8 күн бұрын
@@ravebrave8866 I think it depends a lot on the part. If you want big, thin walled, high detail parts then then that's the worst case because that requires a giant high pressure commercial machine. Unfortunately I don't really know much about the kind of "bigger, lower pressure, recycled plastic" kinds of machines. I have seen some videos of people doing that kind of work, but I haven't built one myself. Good luck!

You mean in the Notebook? Those are some practice sketches of Bob and Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers. I think at the time I was practicing sketching them because the kids liked me drawing characters on napkins while we were at resultants and my Bob & Linda had been very-not-good. 😆Or maybe echos from an alternate timeline where I run a burger joint. Impressed you actually noticed that.

Editing on this video is very good -- clearly a lot of effort went into this. I would say that the background music is a bit too loud, and completely getting rid of that would eliminate awkward music-to-voice transitions. Regardless, cool project, thanks for sharing!

And He loves you very much! God bless you, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

15 years ago I got my start in Cnc by buying a small bench top mill and building my own in my garage. I learned geode, solid works and solidcam. I have done it professionally for 10 years now. I JUST LEFT a job I was the 1 shift lead machinist to go work for Lockheed Martin. Anything could be done if you really want it. To this day I have a machine shop in my garage. KNEEMILL, lathe , cnc mill sheet metal press , tig welder ect ect. All those tools have paid for them selfs time and time again. It's one part of my I will never regret doing.

@@cip744if your system is built like mine you can set the chamber temperature using the PID temperature controller. That will set a specific temp you should choose based on the kind of plastic you are using. You don’t need to clean the chamber between uses unless you want to change plastic types or colors. Just be aware that you shouldn’t let the plastic get too wet, so if you are storing the rig I. Some damp place you may have to let the plastic heat for a while to drive off moisture etc.

@retrotechjournal 22 күн бұрын
@@cip744 I've never tried doing objects that large. I suspect that if you have sticking problems they probably stem from 1) Not enough draft angle, sloping sides make sure the plastic releases itself when it shrinks. 2) Too rough a surface finish. I think not enough draft and rough surface finish the sticking would be worse. I guess you could also try some sort of mold release agent, depending on what kind of plastic you're using, etc. I've only used small amounts of PE and ABS, injected in molten form, and I didn't have trouble with sticking.

3:00 Instead of printing all those parts, you could have printed 5 (or 10) of them and then just copied them using a silicone mold and resin. You make one mold of 3 or 5 or 10 of these parts and then each batch will create that many new parts. Like you print 10 and then you just copy those 10 11 times to get to 120. All of the copies will be 100% identical. If you took the time to really clean up the printed ones, they could have looked injection molded. Silicone picks up every little detail.
@retrotechjournal 2 ай бұрын
Maybe. Flexible silicone molds are great for picking up fine detail, but the parts I was making were very sensitive to exact thickness. With great care I may have been able to produce them consistently enough. I didn’t consider it at the time but you’re right it may have worked.
