do you intend to produce these parts?
|
Can't wait to see the finished product!
|
Will you fab the housing bolts to hold all the sections together as well? In the words of Guinness (Brilliant!)
|
Very cool!!

I don't think so, will try it out before I deside what to do with the blueprints.

Yes, I will fabricate the bolt self. Havn't got any more info about that at the moment though... Thanks all! |

Are you going to have those words laser inscribed on the rotor faces? Lol

Haha, no https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif Thats just for "commercial use" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif Me and my friend have drawned some light-weight rotors that he want's to try out in his FD3S. |
Don't stock rotors have internal passageways for oil to pull heat from the combustion face? Or am I wrong? If they do, how would you make that in a CNC/mill application (since I'm pretty sure stock rotors are cast)? Or are you planning to cut down a stock rotor like other builders do?

The design showing is planed to come with three pieces. One skeleton, and two plates. But we are just drawing for fun right now. I have other things to come first https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
Tonight I have made me and fixture to help me with the 3 holes in each lobe on the main e-shaft. This does so I don't need to pre-drill with big tool-holders as result. Now I just "continue" drilling i these holes into the shaft. The 35mm will help me to steer to the right position. http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/z...1-28004-30.jpg Attachment 16494 Attachment 16495 |
At last, the holes are done. Just som finish by hand left there so it looks better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

Very nice!
It's a shame so much good-looking work will be hidden inside the engine! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.gif |

Any update on this bad ass build!!!
|
Next friday I hope that I will get some done with the E-shaft. Will visit a man that will help me grind, hardening and polish the E-shaft to complete the work-progress. This man also do some work on the Koenigsegg Engine https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
I hope to update the chassi-thread meanwhile. But this weekend I will give to my girlfriend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif |
My girlfriend where with me when I cleaned up the workshop last weekend. This is the result! Not everyone that have som 4-rotor-shaft-material on the table https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

My mobilecamera is really something! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
590 Celsius for an hour, then cut it into small small pieces and sell it on ebay https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/z...d/IMAG0221.jpg |
Cut it up and sell it? What's wrong with it?
|
Hehe, nothings wrong, besides this mean little thing ends up taking all of my time awake https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
Almost there now! Lets start countdown https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/z...d/IMAG0226.jpg |
|
what is it doing lol?
|
I'm using the probe to measure up all holes in the front-cover https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
Now the shaft is out of the owen. Have been there since friday 15:00, and are still 200 celcius now 46hours later. http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/z...2-20001-30.jpg |
Jesus that's hot! Lol is the feeler probe linked to a computer to take measurements or is it just by hand. Sorry but my phone doesn't always like video links lol
|
The Heidenhain touch-probe is linked to the machine-software. Then I can choose to read the value on the screen, use it in a zero-point-tranfer, or print it to a *.txt on the computer that is connected by the network.
Bad is, that what I know, I can only print one X,Y,Z-value on each *.txt. Havn't read more about it. |
I remember from my CAD classes in high school that a 5 axis mill with a prob could be used to reverse engineer a part and write the full code for it, but unfortunately it was just mentioned in the class and we didn't go that in depth. We did write our own codes for our names and for chess pieces we made on the lathe. Fun class, wish I'd have done more classes for CNC work
|
I honestly don't know what I would do with access to all of that equip. The list is so long it boggles my mind. I'm probably kidding myself, I would spend the first month not sleeping even for an hour and die from exhaustion and never make half the stuff I wanted to, but damn it would be a fun month.
|
Hehe, I've worked here for 8years, and have always done small things by night. But this project is big, and the time can't be measured.
But mostly I have fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif The only thing I hate, is when I don't know exactly how to go futher with the shaft for example... |
Where there's a will and a large budget, there's a way lol
|
The budget it very low at the moment. The shaft has only cost me 490 dollars this far https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
|
Tomorrow my little friend are going on his first journey by himself... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif
We'll hope it works out fine https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/z...d/IMAG0243.jpg |
omg Id be soo scared to let my big buddy venture by itself... wheres it going? what for?
I like your box lol |
It's going to be straighted (spelling?) to avoid warping. Then I'm get it back to some more machining.

Put the shaft on two V-blocks and use the squeezer/press/crusher to bend it right with the hydralic cylinder.
Can fix a picture of our machine tomorrow. |
you're my hero..... seriously.
|
what material is this made from?
|
I hope you got your shaft back!!! lol

Please keep us updated!

Here in Sweden we call it SS2541-03, it's the same as the american 4340.
