    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    This was first try although I fully expected to perhaps add a riser on the opposite side of the feed it turned out not to need it. A 3D printed pattern, Lepages wood filler and rattle can primer filler and paint. The hole is tapered and once cleaned up sits on the tapered spindle drive. With...

    Welcome to Westwood Metalworks, What is he building in there?

    If I look at the pattern it appears as if you haven't got the equivalent of risers or vent holes to let the gases escape. The dry sand isn't good enough if the foam melts and forms a plug in an area where you want to vent the melted foam gas. If you build a wooden pattern and used green sand...

    Whew! Finally. Turns out 1mm is a nice size for a 1/4W resistor lead which just happens to be around 0.44mm which matches the commercial header thin pin. I was just going to use two of those to plug into the socket and then use a 40 pin WW socket lowered down to grab the top pins. Trouble is...

    I'm on the forth print now. Holes have been enlarged to 1mm and the width also enlarged to allow more latitude in slicing. The last one with 0.8mm holes was still to tight for the wire but once I used a small PCB drill to clean it out it was fine. Then I broke the PCB drill in the second...
