The lock knob works great and doesn't fall out.

Here's the video of the XC and the lock.

That is a thing of beauty! Well done sir.

Cheers,

Thanks sir,
I was looking at some "clear" ABS spools but it's not quite clear when it prints.
I have a bunch of natural PLA to use up for these I think will be at least more transparent.

Time to print a head band for the camera!

Maybe something like this.

No I was thinking a headband that would leave both hands free. It would also allow us to see exactly where you are looking, real time.

I actually lol'd at this for some time. I started remembering times in videos when hoss juggles the camera and multiple other things to get the point across to all of us, probably giving himself back and wrist strain in the process. We could all go in on a go pro cam for him! Oh and a tripod.

Thanks hoss

The tripod would be a static view point. The headband allows close up and specific views. Double stick tape to the forehead?

Not done yet!
Here we have the Super Capacity version of the powder cup.
I get my powders from Columbia Coatings and they send the powders in plastic 1 lb containers, pretty standard size,
you can buy empty 1lb containers from them.
With this I can just take the lid off, screw on the SC cup and I'll have up to 1lb of powder ready to go.
Comes with a label so no problem telling what color it is.
Now to make one.

Very cool! That almost looks like something from Star Trek.

PS my little plumbing job is coming along nicely.

[hoss2006]

Thanks, I guess it does look enterprisey.

I think everything you create looks "enterprisey"

Hoss, the color coded bottle caps is a great idea and inspired yet another - some of the high end energy drinks come in aluminum bottles with aluminum bottle caps. I think they are the same thread. If so, they could be powder coated to match exactly!

cheers,
Michael

Michael, Hoss does not need any energy drinks! If he completes tasks any faster, he will blow up!

Sticking to my new years resolution so far and keeping the tv turned off so I get some work done.
Hoss

I agree on the TV. I am trying to eliminate it as much as possible. Trash programs, commercials, divisive news, the sports you enjoy are somehow never in your package and you still have to pay. Do you remember cable TV before commercials? Double dipping at its best. Btw, You haven't missed anything, maybe a fat, deranged and mutated family trying to impress us with their life skills.

We get much better entertainment value here on the Zone with productive pictures and videos of what can be done by people at home with available technologies. Not what we can't do because of lack of skills or some BS the news might say. The EPA ran off any jobs and our competitors in those arenas don't have as stringent rules.

Funny you should mention, I'm in talks with TLC to produce the Honey Hoss Hoss Show.

Looks like I need to make some space on the DVR.

Hi Hoss
If I can change the subject for a second, been going over your g0704.com website, love it btw... And I'm in the process of building a high tension draw bar. I just bought a used air cylinder with a 3.25 bore and 1.5 inch stroke that should do the trick. But damn, it's heavy. How much does yours weight and will it damage anything if it's too heavy?

Also you mention that this version is easier on the spindle bearings. Is that because the cylinder is attached with springed bolts and it moves up as it pushes?

Thanks, and keep up the great work.
