Members, have we struck gold or what.?
Robert Furmanak, we? have been friends for over 6 years.
We lost contact as he moved from PA to FL.a few years ago.
He was my mentor to allow me to move forward on the Gear Reduction for the Real Bull lathe. A brilliant electrics and practical engineer.
Robert designed and put together the original gear reduction for the Sieg type lathe.differences were I needed a idler gear
for normal anti clockwise motion, he did not need this, also the method of attaching the GR bracket to the end of the motor is different.
Sieg versus real Bull lathe motors are different.
He happens to have most of the information and I am in the process of preparing to 3D print of the Sieg bracket.
His knowledge of 3D printing, I did not know about.?WOW.
Anyway, I am sure we are starting to add on some big guns to the forum.
For example, Richard UK has assisted me in installing Power feed, ELS, CNC to the
mill and lathe,another what I call a genius.?
I am in the process of welcoming Robert into the digitalhobbyist family, I am sure he will assist when his time permits.?
Almost got the GR Real Bull off the3D printer, some tinkering required.

We need to discuss sharing and file transfers. Lets as a group see if can come up with common denominators.

Thanks

John, that is indeed good news!

Sharing and file transfers? I assume you are talking beyond the group's Files section. Do you intend to make this exclusive to all members, some members, or the public in general? What are your thoughts?

STEP and IGES files are pretty much universal among the CAD programs, with STEP being the preferred format, IMO.?

And while we are on the subject of 3D printing, here's a couple of useful and inexpensive projects for drying and keeping your filament dry.

Food Dehydrator as filament dryer:?

Drybox for keeping filament dry while printing:?

I worked for a medical device manufacturer with 44 injection molding machines. There were no plastics that were molded there that were not dried first.

Hi, Fast Eddie,

The Files section is currently set to allow all members to download from it.
