Air Powered Top

[@DustinRogersinMO]

I picked up one of your tops in KC. It’s sitting on my desk at work and I get it spinning at least once a day. I enjoyed talking with you about your injection molder. I need to try out a 3D printed mold and injecting it with hot glue like you suggested. I really enjoyed seeing your string throwing machine too. I had never seen one before and have added that project to my list.

Dustin Rogers Thanks, I am trying to get the string shooter on KZbin/Thingiverse soon also.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

Scorch Works I’ll keep an eye out. I’m curious about the string. Is it just yarn? How’d you make the continuous loop?

[@ScorchWorks]

Yes, it was yarn (the type used to make dish cloths) I glued the ends of the yarn together using CA glue (super glue). I tried a lot of different strings before I found one that worked well.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

Scorch Works good to know. BTW - I saw your silicone extruded fishing lure video a long time ago and thought it was genius. I look forward to seeing more of your content and am glad to have met you.

Thanks for the welding demo, very useful

[@ryanfrogz]

I’m one of the thousands of random teens you encountered at MFMSP earlier this year. Cool!

[@ScorchWorks]

Thanks, I hope you saw some interesting things at MFMSP. It is nice to think you were interested enough in what I was doing to subscribe to my KZbin channel.

[@FrankGraffagnino]

very cool. would love to see a video on how you made that injection mold and how you use it!

[@ScorchWorks]

I do have some old injection molding videos but I could do an updated version next time I make a mold.

[@ericlotze7724]

Do you have the piles for the injection mold posted anywhere? I work with a group developing Open Source / DIY Injection Molding Machines, and this would be a neat mold to have!

[@ScorchWorks]

No there are not any models for the mold online.

[@ericlotze7724]

@@ScorchWorks Would you be able to post them, or do you no longer have the CAD files?

[@ScorchWorks]

@@ericlotze7724 I never made a mold model. I wrote g-code by hand to make the mold. The g-code uses variables and loops so it is useless if you are using a GRBL based controller. If you think the g-code would be usefull contact me by e-mail scorch at scorchworks.com. Alternatively making a mold model using boolean operations is not that hard in OpenSCAD or another program. I am sure someone in your group can do it.

[@ericlotze7724]

@@ScorchWorks Yeah Thanks! That's definitely above my know-how, but i'll ask around and keep in touch. Also thanks for making all these cool projects and sharing them with us, really glad i found your channel!

awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RunnerPack]

Next make an air-powered tippe-top! :D

RunnerPack is that a thing?!
