Not much action here in the thread but I have got a fair bit of work done anyway, last weekend I ran the largest half marathon in Europe in Gothemburg and finished 502 of around 50.000 runners at 1:24:50. After that I caught a cold that has lasted until now but that couldn´t stop me from updating the casting equipment with a vacuum chamber for lost wax casting and some other stuff. Here I have 3D printed a pair of test pieces in wax filament that I will try to cast tomorrow.
Another thing I will try is to degass the melted aluminum with nitrogen injection down into the bottom of the crucible.
I fitted the front fender to the turbine bike and wiped most of the oil and dirt from the fairings, hopefully it won´t look to crappy next to the extremely polished harleys at the event...
I have also developed a hot dog holder for my kids, the damn hotdogs always tip over when they put them down on the plate so I made an experimental holder in the 3D printer. The test subject gave it one ketchup smeared thumb up!
I have also made the Triumph road worthy by putting a couple of layers of 2K clear coat on the rear fender, now I can finally try to get it registered with the stiff rear end so I won´t have to look out for the police every time I ride it to town...
Cheers!
