    My Kozo Hiraoka Pensy switcher in 3d!

    Thanks for the links! I saw many Kozo projects but didn’t make any search about it since a long time. Always good to see pics and methods from others! The Shay is simply beautiful, I wish to get this level of excellence, but it’s hard to reach LNH at my age :rolleyes:

    My Kozo Hiraoka Pensy switcher in 3d!

    Well... I suppose that’s the reason I also build it in metal ... and probably less boring because I already drew it in 3D, so the printing is not a big step afterward. It’s more for my own pleasure than a achievement.

    I had to make several adjustments to dimensions because shrinking effect was not present at same level depending the size and the filling of each pieces. And some (few) are made in metal for solidity and rigidity (I made internals pieces too :))... Another kind of challenge!

    My PMR steam engine #1 and boiler #2 project

    Thank you for your kind words! I try to make things as best as I can, but I also love old machines, and put lot of works and time to put them in good working order. Not the best ones and not always as accurate as I would like it, but enough to be useful and functional for my needs. I'm glad...
