Anybody with access to a lathe feel like making 20 bucks for 10 minutes work?

[Sentry]

:D

Got an aluminum rod about 9 inches long by 5/8" that I just need turned down a bit for a little project of mine on the Integra. Should cut like butter. Lots of material compared to what I need so there's fudge room. Any takers?

[gretz]

Yesssss lol.... what diameter do you want it turned to?

[Sentry]

12.5mm ish with like 2 inches of 10mm that I'm gonna thread.

Are you making a dildo shifter? lol

Shifter extension I would say from the looks of it.

[Sentry]

I'm making a broke ass version of the fastline shifter. The threads broke off the egay short shifter on the teg so I figure I'd use this opportunity to mess with it instead of chucking it in the trash.

Bustin' my balls. :D

Ghetto isometric granted, I better stop before there is a title block, part number and revisions added.

[gretz]

lol guys...

Shouldn't be an issue at all...

Sugarphreak, shoot me a pm with what you are looking for and i'll fire you my email...

[Unknown303]

Definitely looking more and more like a dildo with each rev.

[zieg]

I have this urge to model it in inventor now...

[Modelexis]

Post it up, good practice.

Show us what you got!

Do you work for transcoil or something? :)

[zieg]

oh screw it. I'm not gonna say where I work because I know for a fact my boss is on here. But I'm sure he'd know it's me and also wouldn't care. :rofl:

Modeling over remote desktop is hard and I miss my 3d mouse. :(

Solidworks attempt

ooh, nice threads

[zieg]

Nice. Shaded with edges is how I roll too. Damn, I disconnected already but I should have posted the exact mass of the finished piece.

[Sentry]

Oh my god. :rofl:

[Darkane]

Lol. That's awesome.

[gretz]

i'll bite, assholes lol...

Assuming T6061, the weight of the shaft is approx. 0.106lbs with a center of mass 2.985" from the larger end not taking into account your thread or the bore I am assuming you will be putting in.

I personally like to taper the female end so the shifter extension meets the stock shaft less abruptly, as well as make a chamfered provision on the male end to help the die start easier

Ooooooo ray tracing! :drool:

I would bite and give some sample stress distributions but I'm scared of booting into win7 and all the updates lol.

[Modelexis]

Well done gretz.
That's some good aluminum texture.

[rage2]

You guys are hilarious haha. $20 well spent. :rofl:

[legendboy]

man you guys are working cheap if you make this for $20

[Disoblige]

Anyone want to mentor someone I know? His name is Arash.

[ercchry]

kind of disappointed no one actually modeled the threads (the inventor one is fake threads!) how an i going to make him a rapid prototype?! :rofl:

[Modelexis]

I'm just learning solidworks, so I don't know how to make threads yet.
Need a tutorial.

its not fun to do with inventor... combo of the coil function (turned to cut) and the extrusion function (also used to cut). inventor does have the thread button... but its just a graphic, so making .stl's for the 3-D printer doesnt work

[gretz]

The thread wasn't requested in the part, I only modeled what was required... lol

Ya $20 is super cheap, i'm more of a helping hand than a profit maker "sometimes"

[gretz]

Threads, just for you Eric lol

[gretz]

double

[ercchry]

thats so much cleaner than inventor! but like i could ever get anyone around here to change programs :rofl:

[DeleriousZ]

Damn Gretz you beat me to it

I like where this thread is going.

I think you need female threads on the bottom side so that it can be threaded onto the existing shift lever.

[zieg]

Yeah well considering its just a visual, I'm happy with a texture overlay. Plus even if I was going to 3d print this I'd still just tap it myself after..

[Disoblige]

I like how every revision keeps get better and better. Especially since the first rev was on a piece of recyclable paper :rofl:

Good job guys!

Must be a slow week in the office. Or everyone is betting on that lotto this Friday :rofl:

I'll volunteer to shoot pics of the final product haha.

[zieg]

Right, die. My bad.

Anyway, here's an inventor studio render of a threadform 3/4 assed (just drew the thread form and did a coil)

What's the internal thread size? lol.

[Modelexis]

It will be the female version of the threads at the small end of the shaft, so if you had 2 of these they would thread into each other.

i can print hollow to save material so i wouldnt be able to do that... plus, i'd have to walk alllll the way downstairs to the shop for the tools :rofl:

[gretz]

Should be an M10x1.5

Can't you change the external shell thickness though? Just leave enough meat to cut the threads?

I dunno, I bought a rigidbot and it's supposed to have 100 micron resolution but I don't know how fine a thread it could really do. For hobby stuff most screws are 3mm and I definitely wouldn't want to try that..

[ercchry]

yeah i guess i could turn them up, got the rep2x... it is nice to have a filament based printer for desk side use, we mostly just use it to print off extrusion samples for the visual learners before we order new dies

dont even want to hear the words i had for SLC today :rofl:

i fixed all their shit, checked it back in. they went to tweak something and didnt get the latest from the vault... :banghead:

George wasnt impressed with me i dont think :rofl:

What a bunch of geeks eh :poosie:

[Sentry]

The threads on the shifter are broken off so I'll be welding this piece on. ;)

Man this got outta hand LOL

[legendboy]

ghetto

[gretz]

Grind the shaft lower (where the diameter gets larger) and run a die around it

[syb65]

I am guessing this piece never got done?

[Sentry]

I gave it to gretz/Jer today.

[snowcat]

Awesome thread, most productive one for a while.

Do post up pictures of final product.

[gretz]

As requested... Cell phone shaft selfie... need Rage2's photography skills

[gretz]

2

[gretz]

try 3

[Sentry]

Custom repaired egay shifter yo. The sharp cutoff line is the start of the anodizing, the actual weld starts a couple mm up.

I'll throw it in Monday and get a pic or two.

crap, now i need to do an as-built
