16mm photo-plank - lathe completed
Work on the lathe continued, I had several more pieces to model up and a couple of changes to some of the first attempts at detail parts. The final CAD drawing looks quite attractive.
To those who think 3D printing is 'cheating' I think I should point out this was more of 'home kit production' as the lathe has almost 30 separate pieces. The parts almost filled the build plate on my Anycubic photon twice over and each print job took about 4 1/2 hours.
I got the parts assembled and painted, still need a bit of weathering, but I'm quite happy with the results.
I intend to make another couple of chucks and a variety of tools to go with the lathe.
Meanwhile, I needed a cup of tea so put the kettle on the stove.
Now I just need to make a flue for the stove so I can light it !
