Been 'out' for a while due to health issues.
Still need those(metric) plans..?

Ian, Take a look at this one. It was my last project in my school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoTdqRT4QVg One of the highlights was a set of two locs pulling 50(fifty) 3D-printed wagons. (50 anniversary of our school) Funny detail. The little loc in front is not pulling of course, it is pushed ...

'Had' it is Ian, retired a few months ago... I use a diamond'saw' in a Dremel tool. I made a wooden bracket to fix the Dremel in my lathe's toolpost. Insert the glasstube in the lathes chuck. The glass tube is protected using a thick piece of rubber. Very carefully close the lathes jaws.The trick is...

Hi,

Krijn, I mailed Malcolm a while ago and he gave me some info/tips on this buggy. -The engine in its present form has a free speed of over 1000RPM, and about 175 watts of power. -I chose a beta engine because, with a rhombic mechanism it can be perfectly balanced; I don't like vibration. -Starting wa...

Hi,
Like Ian says : get the biggest you can afford, or have room for. You wont regret it.
I would consider buying a rotary table/tailstock and the Super X3 has a extra long table available to. It all depends on what your planing to do with it.

Hi, I had contact to with Andy. Last year he sent me plans of that B-20. They were all imperial, with his kind permission I redrew these plans to metric. I can send you a copy. I started working on that B-20 but did not finish it yet. Most of the parts are done. Still, a few more to make. This B-20 ...

Hi, Not to much to be found on this subject. Purpose is to rotate a piglet on it. I already did a search on this very forum, youtube and some other sites. This is what I found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Nq5I8_Eyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGA52juKgIg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt...

I know off topic, sorry guys, still... Something I forgot to mention about these printers. Maybe, just maybe someone got interested... :wink: Cost for a selfmade 3D-printer, depending where you buy your hardware : between 300 and 400 € (400 to 450 USD). This printer will print objects about 190x190x...

Hi, Again about 3D printing, but this time a project I found on the internet. this site gives you a full description how to make a LTD printed Stirling engine. Together with a few friends we're busy building a few 3D-printers. lots of fun btw. This very moment about 2 of these self made printers are...

Hi, Been busy, have some reading to do here... Just read this from an older post : Re: stirling engines and education There are one or two teachers who contribute to this forum, who use the Stirling Engine in their teaching, one is Chriske who teaches 14 to 18 year olds in a Technical School at Duff...

Nice, very nice indeed vamoose,

I saw these to but I think the other movies in that 'caloric16' Youtube account are also worth watching.
I like that buggy made by Mr. Malcolm Rowney a lot.

Severin, I teach in a small technical school Duffel (Belgium). The kids I work with are age 14 to 18 years old. They all very much like to work on these projects. They all work in groups, not as individuals, and because of that they like working in 'my' workshop. In fact they look forward to it ever...
