evening all,

I've been investigating other methods of manufacture today as I'm worried waiting for the cnc at uni could potentially take a while...

I'm in contact with one of our laser cutters and they are willing to do the job but may put the job up by £10 to £35. This would mean we could have them pretty soon though.

What do people think??

Cheers

Will

Im still up for one aslong as there still reasonable quality.

Very good I think!
Thanks!

I'm not in a hurry mate, as long as the price is right

[willg54]

quality shouldn't be a problem. we get lots of stuff etched and cut by laser, rarely needs any finishing operations! will check the quality before anything gets done though.

how long it would take to make this many on the uni cnc may take a fair few weeks going at this rate...the technicians seem hard to pin down! the guy did promise a prototype run tomorrow so will see how that goes!

I'll be a late addition if i can...be interested in what is to be used to bond it to the manifold though and am presuming it will fit the 3B IM right?

If we go with the laser cutting, im afraid it my only be one batch due to cost but I will make some spares.

as for bonding, araldite or 3M scotch-weld will do the job i reckon. Can withstand high temps and bonds well with metals.

The size of it has been designed for the indent in the inlet manifolds, not sure if this is on the 3b. either way, it will fit!

1 batch limited quantities only; love it. Can you put me down for 2 please Will?

[willg54]

if 2 is what you want, 2 you shall have!

For one offs, machine processes get expensive and generally put off for weeks and weeks! ive been through the struggle of that before!

I will make a few additional plates just in case people catch on to this at a later date. Another batch could be made at a later date if there were enough numbers.

Hopefully I can get back to you all tomorrow with times and final costing! I'll play the "im a student, can you do it cheaper" thing

You can check my picture earlier in the thread (post nr 191), thats lasercut 2 pieces bonded together and then bonded to the intake. No quality issues. click it for a bigger pic.

Looks good!

I was planning on going the etching route so there won't be any need for 2 plates glued together. Will have to see what they say tomorrow with restrictions etc to the design. But will also still push for the cnc!

Another option if the CNC becomes unavailable would be to make a mould with the prototype and cast a batch. I know a man mad enough to take it on.

i have a friend casting vintage car super-chargers, sure i could persuade him too. Now im thinking about carbon fibre...hmmmmmmm
