Title: Added to the 3D printing page
Post by: Julian on April 24, 2016, 10:59:44 PM
Nige very kindly sent me some photos of his pump tonight, so I've added a terminal box for a Lowara CEAM 70/5-V to the 3D parts page ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/3D_Printed_parts_and_spares#Lowara_CEAM_70.2F5-V_terminal_box (http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/3D_Printed_parts_and_spares#Lowara_CEAM_70.2F5-V_terminal_box)

Jim ... while I was struggling to remember how to put the page together and looking through the uploaded files I noticed some you'd uploaded ... do you need a hand putting them on the wiki?

You can see the files here ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Special:NewFiles (http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Special:NewFiles) dated May 2015.

That's a point.  I keep making little things but never remember to upload them - like these bungs for 19mm braided hose.  I use the hose for fueling the car.  The bungs stops dirt ingress during storage, as well as bio dripping out.

I'll see if I can find the STL files. :)

Is the a reason for the steps rather than a shallow taper?

Ps. Today I supersized my i3 to print 300x300mm, I need to print a new core mould for a centrifuge. The pattern for the fuge bowl I made from 21 pieces of sapele on my router and a lathe.

I'm really getting the hang of the router, it's amazing how handy it is, almost as versatile as the printer.

I worked on the assumption that bio is slippery and the tube flexible so a taper would pop out eventually.

The steps are 1mm radius steps, just a few of them thrown on because I figured one step would fit even as the pipe aged and stretched (this is quite an old bit of pipe now!)

OK ... what's the pump?

Or should I list it as a generic motor terminal box for a specific size of motor ... what frame size?
