Another rocket time, this one was a pain. There really wasn't a good way to attach the boosters to the main rocket, all the designer did was make a shim. Getting it to balance while the epoxy set was a chore.
I made a dial indicator mount that fits my quick-change tool post on my lathe. I can check an od or face runout with it.
That's really handy.
Those photos make me miss being a machinist. I really enjoyed running a lathe and a mill.
While I mostly use my printer for "toys", you can make a surprising amount of useful stuff with them. Helps if your a better CAD draftsman than I am.
I made three 12 ga. plugs so dlbleak can get his choke tube out.
I thought his was a 20 gauge?
Maybe it was. I made them to match the dimensions he posted.
To the gentleman that was asking me about 3d printed objects that could handle being left in hot cars, I printed a material today that can do it. It's called ASA and is a derivative of ABS. It's UV stable and doesn't start to lose cohesion until 96 degrees C. What I printed with it was a spare piece to go on my printers hot end, it's proximity required ASA.
