ok, buddy Jim is working on the drawing, he is going to try to get it done before 5 his time ( I think that's in like 3 hrs)  i'm going to try to start printing the stuff tonight if it done.

When he gets them finish, be sure to post them back here.

Matt, are you wanting my to make some for you or are going to CNC?

I will probably do CNC, but as a prototype, cross-verification of your work, sure, I'd like to have some prints that are the same as yours.

If this turns out to be a winner, I'll be buying sheets of plastic and running cuts non-stop.  While that is happening, I'll be working on a single board drive/power-out solution to hook these coils up to.  Preferably self-adjusting so they work with any coil straight-out-of-the-box.  I'd like nothing better than to produce these devices OpenSource as kits or complete units at cost plus labor--quit working for the man and start working for the community.  We just need to be sure to file the Defensive Publication.   ;)

agreed 100% Matt, and also i have some other big backers that can make it this happen...  the connections are made.

but we are talking to far out... lets dream small right now :)

let just verify this works...

~Russ

friends cad program is acting wack...

so wont be today.

Matt want to give a go or will it take you all night :)

May take me all night, but I'll work on it between rounds of playing fetch with the dogger.

:) 

This is closer.   Still need to figure out the best way to do slotted holes.  Ovals won't CNC with a 1/4" bit.

You'll notice now the slot becomes one of the holes which may or may not work too well.

ok so in going to start printing theses tonight,

Matt, just do bigger radius on the ends there where we want the egg shape...  that's easy. ( the "corner" make it a radius)

ill grab the updated files for that change before I start printing the former.

theses have the slip fit we talked about? or no?

nice work!

~Russ

oh... hehe one more thing...

can we make it a " spoke" wheel desighn for the former? anywhere we can save on plastic is good lol same as the thickness is good for any spokes.

~Russ ..

we are now printing the ring... hope to have those new mods ready for the next one lol

haha yes you do!!! :)

Version 3 with:

• Lightning holes
• Slotted wire guides
• Radiused openings

Let's go with version #4.

Version 5 for 3DP with straight cut inner slot.

Center ring done flawlessly. Nice drawing matt!!!

that is beautiful,
good job, matt!!

My God, love what's going on here :-D

we are kicking A$$

~Russ

Well nice work matt. We got this far to learn we need to re think it a bit.

1/8" for the new one.

And a re think on how to connect the 2 parts. 1/2 and 1/2 slots in each part insted of a grove.

Will continue tomarrow!

~Russ

Ok here is the wire angle prob. We ither make the holes bigger. Or make it 1/8"  or both...

The wire needs to go through the next hole in the center of the ring there. Can't hardly even see it.

ok... @all. DO NOT MAKE RING AND FORMER... Matt and I are in prototype stage...

we are redesigning again....

~Russ

Matt. Angle is 30. Not 15. Its every other hole. There are 2 coils on there. Think 12.

Also. If you make the angle. In both directions and they will make a "point" in the center of the part. We can go both ways.

Easy.

You're killing me Russ.  I thought we were not winding in both directions...  But now I'm looking at pictures and it clearly looks like 007 wound it the same as Daniel does--crisscross.  So I guess straight holes is really what we need.  Errr...  I'll do a separate former bobbin with straight holes or dual 30 degree holes if it will work.



Have a look at these for the moment and see if they are workable.  Number six is angled holes; number seven is straight.

I went with 1/8" thickness, 0.140" on the slots; 15 degrees wire hole angle, ring with tabs.

This may be it for today, getting pretty burned out and I'm not sure what else I can do to be honest.

get some sleep. I'll test these today. I'm sure we got it now.
