Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

I feel your pain there. I'm hoping that I've also purchased my last vehicle.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

I honestly don't know if anyone makes a car today that can be imported or driven in the USA that is available with a manual shift. If there is one it is probably such a cheap POS that I don't think...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Can't wait to see what you can do with the resin printer. I bought one about 3 years ago. It was an older model Creality that was on closeout sale from my local PC store. I mostly just use it for...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Well hopefully you won't have a need to remove the rear axles very often, if ever. Can't remember the last time I had to remove one of mine, or even mess with the drive shaft itself.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

I don't think the 'flexible' option would work for something like that. It only allows movement in sub-assemblies function in another assembly but only within the limits of the applied constraints. ...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

That is a very interesting idea. I've never used a Gold-N-Rod before as i've never been into airplanes but know what they are. Thanks Don, gonna have to do some thinking on this.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Thanks Don. Have thought about doing similar to my lathe. Couldn't do the cross slide like you did. I bought mine set up for CNC and the servo mount prevents inserting anything into the the...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Looking good Don. Like your solution to handling the cross slide scale. Can those scales be trimmed to shorter lengths?

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

The iguaging scales are very popular in the home machinist hobby world. If you want an even better readout google 'yuris toys'. Yuri developed a, relatively, inexpensive way to combine the scales...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

The two programs are pretty much the same. I've still got a copy of Cubify Design (from when 3DSytems owned the software) and it works the same way. I played around some today with the 'flexible'...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

It does indeed, last place I had thought to look. Had gone through all the preference menus and couldn't find anything. Will have to do some experimentation as I have never tried it. Weird in that...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Sounds like you have a real good handle on the assembly process in Alibre. Just wish it all would work. Where is this 'flexible' check box? I don't recall ever seeing such a thing. Or is it only...

Wanted to reply to your post on the 28th Don but I was at the Lafayette RC truck show this weekend and only had access to open public wifi and I don't like submitting passwords over those.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Lord only knows what happened to the site this time. Was completely gone this time, not even any html code showing up when I tried to inspect the site. Glad to see it's back though and hoping it...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Yea, with the Sherline parting tools you need to keep the blade as short as possible. Because they are so thin they can be easily deflected. And that of course will lead to problems. The other...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Congrats on getting your process worked out. What I love about this hobby, educational opportunities just abound. Which Bruder are you going to convert first?

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

That's good to see. Little factoid to file away for future reference if I ever try to do the same.

I was using my cutoff tool in a QCTP for quite a while and always had issues with it. Given the...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Oh man, I feel your pain and aggravation. Morse taper and draw bolt is good when you want concentricity but a pain when you need length behind chuck. How were you cutting off the excess tube? ...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Really glad to hear that the damage is not as bad as feared and that you will be able to get it fixed.

I have the tables that Sherline has for both imperial and metric threads for their lathes,...
