I called it a bushing but it's technically just named "mounting hardware" there's no real name for the component i'm talking about. The original ones on the old shock seemed to be made out of steel.

To save you some money in the future, buy some blocks of machining wax to use for your first tries of making the part. It can be machined much faster, and costs significantly less than the aluminum. Save the aluminum for the final pieces and use the wax for all your mistakes. Also, change your coolant out, looks like there's a lot of rust.

@jameskrippner4974 3 месяца назад

Hey Rob, they look awesome! But just for future reference, a properly torqued bolt will have significantly more clamping force than 100lb. A Grade 8.8 3/8" (M10) bolt torqued to 30 lb/ft (40Nm) will have around 6,600 lb of preload (30kN, 3,000kg). Even at only 12lb/ft (16Nm) there will still be 2,400lb (11kN, 1100kg) of preload. You may want a spacer tube between the flanges, unless you thread a bolt in the top and separate one in the bottom so that there is no compression between the two. With how thick the flanges are you may be okay though. Well done though, keep it up!

Very impressive! One thing though that I think will definitely help out. As a former CNC machinist working with high dollar parts, we NEVER ran new code or any sort of new setup at 100% speed. I get hard ptsd watching the tool fly into the part at full speed. We would always set the physical speed knob to 0% before ANY lines run, then turn it up a single click and watch it go line by line. That's what it's there for. It's been a while, but we used the setting that pauses after each line (forgetting the name at this point), so every new line of code we can start at zero, turn it up slightly and make sure it's doing what we expect. Any variable that could potentially lead to a crash, we would double check. It was very normal to have fucked up lines of code saved in our programs, typos, mistakes, issues with indicating faces, parts not chucked up as well as we believe, etc. that are easily caught from listening to the grinding when going slow. You'll save a ton of time, money, tools/material, and getting yelled at by the guy taking over on the next shift, trust me!

@kornydad14 3 месяца назад

To any that are wondering about this, the process to develop these parts is called topology optimization and uses structural analysis to slowly whittle away the material that is not needed to meet the load inputs and space claim set by the user. Basically, the designer makes a model of all the space that can be used for the part and than sets design parameters, like structural loads or airflow requirements, than the CAD model is slowly and iteratively generated by the software. Finally, the model is cleaned up by the designer to ensure the part is manufacturable. This has been used by engineers for almost 10 years now. Very cool process and can save tons of hours in part development. I get to use tools like this at work everyday, so much fun. Great video!

Yep. I would leave it attached to the vices and then flip the vices 180 degrees and re g-code the program flipped. I would probably even touch off again with the calibration probe. I would buy a big block of this stuff called Corrien (spelling?) And I would fully run the CNC, check the prototype on the block? If it's all good then I'd chuck in the billet alloy (obviously adjusting the speed for material) click run and go and kick back and just listen to the CNC via "audible audit" just listening for any tooling issues or any swath interfering with sensors or what ever? Kick back and watch RU-vid till it's done

Since you're not cutting all the way through the part on the sides, there's no reason to have it set so high up in the vices.

I used to run some CNC mills, they are amazing machines and way more complex than people think. Nice milling!

@Rein-hg9in 3 месяца назад

This is ablsolutely beautiful! I'm into machining myself and I know how rewarding it is when you have to figure all that stuff out yourself but you make it work! After seeing this I am also going to play around with the ai generator in fusion. This already is amazing but wait untill you eventually upgrade to a 5 axis cnc, it will open up a whole new world for you!

I love how Rob always puts the "ee" in Keeps right over his face. 😂 It's a small thing, but it always makes me smile.

Doing the same thing on a tormach with 4 cylinders, learned on a Haas. Hats off to you sir its a lot to learn and take in.

Machinist here, and boy do I wish I was there the give you guys a hand, not because I think I can do better, but because there are just some things that could be done to ease the manipulation of the part, indicating, and proofing the program. . Y'all are definitely doing a great job. Take note of what goes wrong and why, and that'll make the next job a lot easier and go a lot quicker. This I've learned after machining parts for heavy mining equipment.

The 12 rotor is easily the RU-vid project I'm most excited for and I don't get excited over much on RU-vid

@RU55IANROUL3TT3 3 месяца назад

Rob, you're picking up the machinist lingo! HAAS does have a great feature called distance to go. the idea is you can feed hold before you crash, slow down your rapid move to whatever is comfortable, and then look at the distance to go number and look in the machine to see if that "looks about right" and then push the f'it button.

Very cool stuff. I need to get some practice doing AI gen for lightweighting components because that is coming out quite good.

@alanmunroe8332 3 месяца назад

As an Old Skool Machinest, we would do simular longer pieces from 4140HT with a Bridgeport Mill. Only had reference clamp blocks when roughed out with Profile Mills. Then it was a SWARF Profile Inside & Out, by hand adjusting Head Angles to specs. Landing Gear Struts L&R, for F-111 Ardvark.🤢 ~ Now learning Autodesk, my Son is 3D printing as a hobby. Total different schools of thought: Little Parts from a Big Piece of Metal per Printed Blue Print. Hot Rod Engine by Rehere - Morrison - Shepard: THE GOOD OLE DAYS V Big Components from a Blue Print thought via CAD-CAM. Times are changing😂

It's crazy that you actually have the 12 rotor, to all the guys who saw this engine before ever knowing who Rob is then you know it literally couldn't have been given to a more perfect person 😊😊

I saw a small clip on the RU-vid channel of Throtl, about them saying the only one who's crazy enough to make the 12 rotor go 5000hp is Rob Dahm. Next day Rob Dahm: 'This lightweight part holds 5000hp'. My first day off in 4 months, starts very good with this video and some coffee! How do you come up with the CNC programs? A explainer video would be interesting from you Rob, you're a great explainer too!

@BlueDually4x4 3 месяца назад

I thought the CNC machine would be a game changer, and here we are, Rob designing and machining his own parts.

@KiraSlith 3 месяца назад

Am I missing something? Why are these 1 piece per column? You could've made this in 3 smaller, unique pieces (9 mid pieces, 2 sets of 3 angles) to cover all 3 columns of engine manifolds) and made them easily replaceable in case of an accident.

Rather than using two vices, i would've used a pallet. The finite product has mounting holes which could be used to index the part in a "wagon" style cutting scheme. You'd get more than enough precision with that method. At least for this application. I know places where they had (other) mills modified (essentially grinder cut holes in the sides) to run long lengths of aluminium through the machine using this method with reasonable accuracy end to end. Well, there's no one way to skin the cat, i just think this would've been a bit more efficient with your time. Vises aren't all that precise when it comes to this kind of stuff - a pallet allows you to setup all your work and you can do all your work in one section, rotate, do that, rotate etc, then pass on to the next section. Pallets on small mills are huge force multipliers. Regardless of that, awesome work! That's a lot of machining.

@bradhughes613 3 месяца назад

I've made some massive and very high tolerance parts with multiple shifts, it can be a pain in the ass but once you have a system it goes pretty smooth. What I like to do is ream a hole somewhere on the right side that is going to be machined out later, then when I shift I can indicate that hole in for XY0.

@freeclimbmtb 3 месяца назад

Your next tooling purchase should be some fixturing and hold down clamps so you can lose the vise(s) and clamp your material directly on to the table. This would help with repositioning within your work window and more securely hold the work to eliminate the tool from lifting the material in the vise.

@rcman50166 3 месяца назад

For larger, more expensive cutting operations, consider setting up on a chunk of ABS or other machinable plastic to check set up, method, run time, tolerances, etc. ESPECIALLY for one offs where you can't absorb the cost of a few failed copies over subsequent batches.
