That's great! I wanted to do some things like that, but! First, I was a stupid young punk in 1969 when I had a class in mechanical drawing, and blew it off. Over the last dozen or so years, I've tried

Try? multiplying by 254 Tinkercad maybe in inches

Just to follow up on my previous posts in 'Watchmaker Spindle Play", I've finished my work on cleaning up the Watchmaker Spindle I was working on.? Several people requested that while I had it

Beware of the tailstock. I started working on it and it is TINY… less than a millimeter in all directions. Just a dot when imported into Tinkercad. Now I need to figure out how to scale it properly.

The models I'm doing I'll export as step files probably.? Not sure how many accessories I'll get done but I'm aiming to at least get the base machine fully modeled up.? Partially for my own

Hey Guys, I'm late to this thread but I also would like to register my interest in a 'archive' of 3D models for unimat accessories ! I don't own one myself but go have an ax minster Sieg C0 Baby Lathe

I see that Carl originally posted a link to the source files for the tailstock. I would have never found them without his help.

Forgive me for all the replies, I sure wish we could edit posts. I know this is not a forum, oh well. Yes, Rick, I agree. I think that many of the parts for the machine could be printed or made of

Yea chonky prints tend to do that.? petg resists that (for me) better than pla just from better bed adhesion, but its not as rigid either. You might have inspired me to try some 3d printed parts on

Eric, these prints are my first experiments with PLA+. I needed it for another project that requires more strength than regular PLA. The specs for PLA+ really don’t exist apparently, each maker

Oh, next to install the threaded reinforcements and the threaded inserts for the gib screws and make the gib.

Thanks Rick. That whole thing was an experiment. I’ve always wanted a compound rest for the Unimat and they are just stupid expensive. So, this is headed for that goal, to have a relatively cheap

Looks great! Almost seems like Delrin with the machining marks in it. I have used PLA but never PLA+ I'll have to look into the differences. Looks like a good start.

No idea why I called that a vice.? smh

I kinda like the idea of machining 3d prints to true them up.? That vice looks great!

That’s because people are on the wrong forum. Activists of all sorts have available spots to be ‘active’. Please stop the off topic nonsense. I am trying hard not to be nasty about this. So, the

May turn up some useful stuff. https://www.printables.com/contest/431

I’m looking for the dimensions of this tailstock part. So far, no luck. The threads are 5mm and 8mm x 1 left. I need the diameter of the area where the bushing goes and lengths of each of the areas.

Oh wow, Roman if you're still out there, your drawings are fantastic and I thank you.? Just got to the cross slide one and this is the level of detail I was wanting to have to model the full machine

lol I just finally spotted Roman's drawings/files too, those will be a big help.? Sorry guys, not sure why I'm struggling to internet so hard on this subject.
