Boy, Rapid prototyping really gets the gears turning in my head for my next possible build

Thanks Ken, I have not decided on material so far. I have been thinking pewter, but not sure that will hold up. My other thought is JB weld, or liquid metal.

Made the molds using mold putty, came out acceptable. Tried casting with JB Weld, and suprise I have some parts. The parts will clean up with a file and sand paper.

If I have some parts prototyped again I will raise the resoulation. These parts were set on the lowest resoulation for rendering. Although the resoulation does not show in the rendering photo, it will show up in the printed part.

I know what JBweld is but what is liquid metal?

Your welcome, and thanks for looking.

Got a call from my Dad last night, He did get a couple more rims done. The problem he had while skip cutting the od, caused the spindle drive pinion to fail, about 3 teeth are missing.

I bought this lathe 12 years ago, an Atlas Craftsman 101-21200. Finding parts for the is tough.

Since the pinion is cast onto the spindle pully, I am going to try to repair the damaged teeth. Still trying to locate the part.

So the rims are on hold for now.
