3D Scan to Front Bumper - Jeep XJ Hybrid Bumper
This is my first attempt at making a vehicle bumper let alone using a 3D scanner, and what better vehicle than a Jeep XJ. I call this a Hybrid Bumper since it incorporates so many things, tube, plate, winch, shackle/flat tow, sway bar, fairlead, lights, and front end support . It was a long process that could have taken a lot less time. Hopefully next project will move quicker after everything I learned doing this one!
Winch - Harbor Freight Apex 12K
Lights - Chinese Special
Sway Bar - Currie
3D Scanner - Revo Range 2

Did my Potato Hopper Get Out of Hand? 304SS
Просмотров 708 месяцев назад
This potato hopper has been in the works for about a year, as the real build time was quite quick, the project needed some final touches. The main goal was to feed potatoes at a slow smooth rate that can vary depended on needs. I designed the hopper in Solidworks and did multiple FEA analyses on the structure. The hopper will run specialty potato varieties as in fingerlings, reds and yellows. A...

BNTP32 Aliexpress Hydraulic Crimper
Просмотров 64610 месяцев назад
I decided to gamble and order a big hydraulic crimper from AliExpress since our operation needs new hoses all the time. This crimper has very well payed for itself as the fittings and hose are a fraction of the cost of getting one made locally. The biggest benefit is when no one is open, like the middle of the night or on a Sunday, I can get a piece of equipment back up and running.

      There is a process for calculating it just crimp a tube with proper die and measure it with calipers. There is a tiny set screw on the dial just loosen it and turn it with dial lock locked turn to the measurement of the tube that you crimped and tighten set screw. (DONE)

    You are making hard work of that. Yes cut on the flats to get deeper. Also a smaller diameter wheel helps. I make sure to cut as deep as possible without cutting the bit you want to keep. A nick on the hexagon doesn't matter. I never cut around. When you have both sides cut, Place it flat on an anvil, or some heavy steel. Take a small cold chisel place as near to the route end as possible and hit hard. They split quite easily, then turn over and repeat. Thanks for posting.
