Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Printed a test piece to give me an idea of range of hydraulic cylinder travel. And this piece is going to be 3 different setups , top, bottom and slots on sides. At least this time I am designing with capiablities of macheing in mind and also with the cutters I have.







One hour to print that part, had to slice it in half due to printer size , then just glued together. Having the printer is nice because I can make a physical part that I can wrap my brain around to see just how it is going to fit/work. And basically penny’s worth of material. Verses making it in machine and realizing a change is needed having to make a new one. I’m still fighting with my old habits of keeping everything in my head verses using the computer and knowing it will work 99.9% of the time. . Ya can take me out of the sunlight but my neck is still red!! Lol!!! I wouldn’t know what to do if everything fit correct the first time .

Lol!! That was some brass soldered together to hold the master tire when I gave it an acetone bath (vapor bath,about 30-45 seconds to smooth out print lines and sanding marks). Then I bent it up and told the wife I made her a hair brush,,, She wasn’t impressed!! Lol!!
