Mark, did you have a nice birthday?
Thanks guys!
Printed the first part for the Baldwin VO prime mover. The left side has the exhaust supports, but not the exhaust. I'm printing all the exhausts plus the front turbo plate along with all the cylinder heads and injector fuel feeds. That's printing now. It will be an experiment since it's a complicate part and I'm interested to see if all the surfaces grow properly. This picture was taken in the UV curing chamber. There's a couple of thin section breaks that I'll fix with Bondic.
I also printed another Bridgeport and Engine lathe for the machine shop. I had a nice lathe until I dropped it. The resin is sufficiently brittle that when it hits the concrete bad things happen. I can make more of them. I also painted the MIG Welder that I printed early on. I wasn't sure if I was going to use it, but it's passable and I don't want to print another. It way too frail to be a practical 3d model without some serious mods.
Placed in the machine shop they're starting to add some heft to the interior.
I then painted the furniture that was also printed long ago when I was learning how to make this thing work. I need more furniture, storage cabinets, and racks for metal stock. I need to get loco parts that can be put on work surfaces and on floors. I want to line the floors with yellow lane markers. I have a small welding table that was a failed print and then redesigned. I haven't printed it again. I still haven't printed a successful standard drill press. The handles on them are really narrow. I will perfect it. I need a bench grinder, work benches with vises. I have an hydraulic arbor press that I will print and I need a better print of the metal cutting horizontal bandsaw. I could also use some suggestions on how to decorate this further. The Bridgeport was actually an older version that lacked a couple of fixes. It's one of the reasons that I'm reluctant to give out the sliced files. I'm never sure if it's the correct one. I've been lax on deleting out of date production files. They're often on one of two thumb drives and sometimes there are duplicates but are really different versions.
