Lol. There he goes again.
And hey… no rush on this. I am a long way off from needing the engine bells. Just putting some feelers out there.
I suppose I should go to bed too.
Nasa has a new idea on Nozzles.
"A new process called Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC) was developed and advanced at NASA to build a less-expensive nozzle in significantly less time. LWDC is a different process than most 3-D printing technologies, which are powder-based and fabricated in layers. It uses a freeform-directed energy wire deposition process to fabricate material in place. This new NASA-patented technology has the potential to reduce build time from several months to several weeks."
Bakster, call NASA now!
Hey Nino–that is cool! I’ll send them an email and see how much for a couple of em. Anything over $5 ea will break the budget. [:|]
So I dug around and these are the closest thing I could come up with.
These are the cover’s for that Flashlight your Doctor cram’s in your Ear / Nose … wherever. I “Stole” them from My doctor ( no prescription necessary )
I have 8 of em, so if they will work, I will ship em your way.
Hey Tim, a valiant effort indeed. You are a good friend.
I had a brainstorm that bubbled up earlier. Let me explore that before I have you send them. I will let you know on this.
Btw. I started work on the chairs. Lots of cleanup work to do. Egads.
Lol, when Little Timmy mentioned G.I. Joe I also thought 12 inch figure! If he’d said Star Wars figure I’d have thought 3 inch though…
*Yeah I know they make bigger Star Wars figures but I always think of the Kenner three inch ones…
Don’t you just love it, when manufacture’s line up the sprue Gate’s “DIRECTLY” onto the detail of the part. ( Why didn’t they line them up on the bottom of the seat ??? )
Good luck … and may the “Sandpaper God’s” be merciful.
Maybe I should have said Micro-naut’s ? ? ?
( BTW: 693 view’s and were still on the first page… This is turning into " an Intergalactic Kegger" ! )
Are you here watching me? How did you know. Lol.
Hey Tim… Not tonight cuz you néed to get some sleep. But for our next chat, fill me in on the do’s and don’ts of resin. Any thoughts on glues and fillers. If you have any advice… edumecate me. If not, no worries.
I “may” have been using my phsycotic… phcykic… awwww heck ! I just knew !
I dont mess with Resin a lot, but when I do, I use a 5 minute 2 part Epoxie. It’s harder to sand ( and “occasionally” you have to add your own mounting lug’s ) but the part’s stay put … unless you drop them onto a concrete floor.
You are multi-talented! I sensed a disturbance in the Force. It must have been you parting the time/space continuum.
Okay. That is in line with what I was thinking. Good.
This resin stuff sands pretty easily. I am reluctant to use CA, my go to filler. I will probably test it though. I am currently testing Bondo Spot Putty. I have not used this before and based on a thread I read–giving it a try. The good news is that it does not stink to high heaven like their two-part fillers. We’ll see how well that works.
BTW. How many servings of beer do you get in an Intergalactic Kegger? I might have to buy one.
Hey! Thanks for the heads-up. I was asleep at the wheel! Looks fun! Watching!
Maxie
I was going to make some crack about the thread ‘going ape’ but even I’m not that bad.
Oh wait, I guess I am… [:$]
Lol! Never be afraid to talk Ape. This thread is an Ape safe zone.
[:P]
I am glad you are with us Maxie. I thought we lost you when this ship blasted off.
Lol, reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the movies. Zira and Cornelius are in front of the congressional committe in ‘Escape From Planet of the Apes’ with Zira chattering up a storm about everything under the sun and sky. And then one of the congressmen asks ‘Does the male ape speak as well?’ and Cornelius without missing a beat quips ‘Only when she lets me!’
Lol… I love that. And I won’t expound on that. Could get me into trouble.
Hold on a moment…( I had to ask my wife if it was ok to post…)
I have heard “good” thing’s about Bondo spot filler. Seem’s to be the “go to” filler for resin.
I was going to say something similar, but now I have to come up with some new material.
( I can tell already… This will be the W.I.P. with the most 600 LBS Gorrilla joke’s …EVER! )
How are the seat’s looking ?
