New project…

And after a fast skim.

Not worked in oak very much yet, this should be interesting…… Read the rest

  • Finally, sorted the splooging problem with the Ender3’s hot end. New PTFE tube and a hotter setting in the slicer seems to have done the trick. The dimensions of these are all off though, so I need to do more calibration and tweaking of the slicer’s profile for the ender or something. No point printing off more parts that will have ball bearings added to them (like the Z-axis screw stabiliser) if the housings won’t be the right size, and the whole point of this was to print parts for dust extraction anyway - no point printing off 4” fittings if they come out 3.5” wide :D ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#3dprinting #ender3 #ender3pro
  • And that’s the first chips from some simple spindle turning in kiln-dried oak. The lathe stand is just a fancy sawhorse (@paul.a.j.sellers’s design with the splayed and raked legs) but because of the leg’s rake, there’s almost no vibration even though there’s no five tons of sand in the base or anything. The lathe wasn’t even bolted to the stand yet. ⁣ ⁣Now, that might change with some large bowls, but still. For a minilathe, the overbuilding seems to not be vital. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Loads more still to do here, mind you: http://www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2020/02/16/first-chips-2/ ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#axminster #shed #irishwoodworking #woodturning #woodworking #irishwoodturner
  • New addition to the shed :) ⁣⁣ ⁣This has been languishing in the front hall for weeks waiting for the lathe stand to be ready.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣#axminster⁣ ⁣⁣#shed #irishwoodworking #woodturning #woodworking
