how did you design the parts you made?

overtki11 · 02.16.2007, 08:30 AM

i don't...i mill on the fly....hope that makes sense...

basically for example...i wanna hook up the engine to the tranny...i hold the engine in a position where i think will fit and see what i need to hold it in that particular location...once i do that, i mill whatever i dun need off the piece. and i'll be left with what you see....

It does to me, I can't draw and still learning emachine , so i do most designing in my head. When i get close i start looking at details.

phew! thanks dude....now i dun feel like such a freak no more! haha.

well, i just started on my last phase of milling work on this project and once this final piece gets done, i'll start running the fuel tubing on this thing and see if she'll fire up!....:026:

you guys got my wondering about something,
do you use good alu or w/e you are making parts from or do you use crappy stuff first to try if it fits?

overtki11 · 02.25.2007, 08:39 PM

i use the good stuff straight off as the cost of the good alu is cheaper than the cost of my TIME i can afford to put into these projects (two attention seeking kids, and an angry wife!:005: )

and ...seeing how i dun have any drawings to follow, i make up the design as i go along....hence, i never "botch" up..."wink wink" :005:
