3D printed parts page

[Julian]

After sterling work by Tony to unbreak the wiki, I've made a start on the page detailing printed parts complete with downloadable .stl files.

I'd welcome any comments on both the parts and the page, layout spelling etc.

One thought I had was a facility for people to log any issues they had with the prints.

The page is now indexed on the main page, but here's a link ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/3D_Printed_parts_and_spares

PS ... I'm still trying to find where I put the files for the little foot mentioned at the bottom of the page!

If anyone has any parts to add ... please feel free to do so.

This is a great idea.  I really need a replacement terminal box for my 50lpm vane pump I use for dispensing bio via a 1u filter.  The plastic is disintegrating, and it holds the on/off switch for the pump itself.

What testing has been done on the PLA regarding the claimed resistance to bio/wvo/meth?

[Julian]

I've had thin PLA samples sitting in bio and methanol for at least 6 months.  The bio samples seem unaffected as far as I can tell.  the methanol samples also appear to be unaffected, but the methanol appears to have "something", a bit like clear strands floating in it.

I've also used the aforementioned foot in quite strong acid, all be it briefly, and that too seems to be surviving.


It would be good to have some corroborative tests if you fancy doing them.

Good work there young Julian.

If anyone is interested in any of my i3 mods gissa  shout.

I'll have to learn how to put those pics up first though.

ohhh, I'm interested in a look Jim.... if you've already done some of the ones I'm planning, it would save me doing them myself :-)

Been playing in Linux as a Mate has totally eradicated Win 8 from my lap top and installed Mint and win 7 ... Oh joy.  Even the wireless connection works in Mint!

So I thought I'd search some stuff and tried "TAM 105 terminal box".  The biopowered wiki page came up second only to the a page on the forum.  Nice to see it's been indexed so quickly and takes a top spot!
