3D Printed Coral Bandsaw

I love it!

Any chance I can bug you with a picture of your bandsaw motor specs. please.

Here is the new wheel design.

Looks great! Just when I think I’ve convinced myself I don’t want a 3D printer, a thread like this makes me reconsider it.

Maybe the next version can be spinners :p

Wouldn't be that hard to do. If I add a longer bolt and another bearing....spinners all day. Unfortunately, no chrome.. : '''''''(

Sure I will get for you here in a little while.

I actually found the perfect donor. I just have to print a housing. Variable speed, foward and reverse, and decent amount of torque. 120V

Thank you for taking the time to take pictures though.

Do you do this for a living (3D modeling/rendering)?

No, but sure comes in handy.

Made a little more progress on the motor housing.

Wow. This is awesome. How did you learn how to do this?

Interesting...I'm Following For Sure!

Baby steps. Modeling is just part of it. Tolerance fits are a crucial thing to learn, without them, most of your assemblies or prints wouldn't work well, or you would be limited to very basic designs.

@motortrendz

Here is a perfect example of a tolerance fit. I made a mistake on the wheel bore and the bearing cracked the print when it was pressed in, so the model was updated and now I have to reprint the wheel. The print distorts a bit while it cools, so on it may affect your desired dimensions

Well there's someone with a few printers and a bit of experience ;)
