haha

a little slow to start today, but finally.....

We made it home fine just had to go a different way but yea its flooded about a mile from my house but the river is going down now . and I had no idea it took that long to print those but it took me a long time to make the ones I made too . I tried to wire one that I had already made with the weaved pattern like they showed and it worked better with the ones that are shorted just open i haven't had time to get the wattage yet but I should have it by this evening

Yes Matt. Thsts what I have been trying to stress. It's not cross pattern.

Good deal.  I thought I was starting to see things.

Matt. The ring , the slight bevel on the small tab is beveld the wrong way. It needs to bevel in the center. Not point out. :)  it's inverted. Also make it about .5mm shorter. Should fit really nice. You get that done in then next hr or so I'll be able to make that version. :)

Sorry for being offline for a while.  Heavy work at work.  Slept like a baby when I finally passed out.

I'll do a fix on the tab.  Dyslexic you know.  Runs freely in the OpenSource Community.   :)

Give me a few minutes and I'll post an updated version for the late-comers.

Yea you know that work thing gets in the way. Lol


Good job Matt. It will be at least 2 hrs before I'm ready to start printing.
You all here rock my socks off you know that. !!!

Got bless us all
~Russ

so for those of us with bargain bin computers......
here is a ver. 9 ring with ver. 8 form, printed top speed so its a tad sloppy but manageable.
nice tight fit! awesome work guys.....
im going to run out of filament before im done the forms so its off to the city early tomorrow to hunt some down.

the inner holes printed a touch elongated....but the outer diameter of the whole jig is uniform

Attached Ring #11 with corrected tab inset.  The "A" version is a fix-up by 3D Builder, only use it if the non-"A" version doesn't work.

I'm just glad you didn't suffer a major setback being burned out of your house.

With enough of us onboard, there's no way we can all be stopped or even slowed down.

Great job guys!

sweetness. Good job Matt and Jeremy

I'm on my way back to the shop with the goods and will be live printing.

For those that want to do a CNC version (like me), here's a link to get you started with material:
Interstate Plastics UHMW Sheets

Four sheets should be about right.  The Ring is just over six inches in diameter and the former bobbins are just under four inches in diameter.  With proper placement, you should have just enough surface for a couple of moguls and still be able to finish this project.

I will be working on a CNC version of the drawings specifically for an 1/8th inch plastic router bit--no lightning holes or tapered edges.  Stay tuned...


Also, a good router bit makes life much easier.  My preference is the Amana Tool 51411 available at ToolsToday

ok on # 3 o 11...

What are we doing?

Lol

Look how nice that circle fits the inside "gap"

Nice work Matt

good thing my wife any hungry. She would be eating it like Swiss cheese . :)

Lol

Looks like the radius is off just a tad, but still plenty good for "Guvment Work",  hehe

It's one holy fixture isn't it?

wow...

its fun to remember when looking back through this thread

3D PDF attached.  Really cool.  Opens in Adobe Reader and lets you see all sorts of things, print and measure too.

Play with it.  I think you'll be impressed.

I'm not 100% certain about the input and output (L1/L2) for this gizmo.

well, i'm not to worried about a theory on how it works... I'm just interested in getting it to work... then we can guess on the how... ~Russ

That's really cool Matt, didn't know AR could do that :thumbsup:

Yeah. I like the look of this printer working for me in the dark :)

I got to go to bed. We are off to #5

I didn't either.  Hopefully if anyone needs a paper template, they can fairly easily print a properly scaled image with some dimensions.

Ok. Attached are immages of 18 awg as a test.

Its fine. All most looks like it could all be 18 AWG wire.

This is 1.12mm

Oh now that no look at it this is 16 wires.

I just bent everything in half. Lol.

So I have 4 extra wires. Fits nice.

Here is 12 wires. Its lose now.
