Re: Just for entertainment.

Indeed a lot off work. Makes you wonder how they did this at the factory in the 1940's, building so many bikes

Re: Just for entertainment.

I'm sure they would have been cast. Hundreds at a time. Ron

They were castings originally.....Marks replication methods are the response to a lack of availability of the original parts and practical expediency...Ian

Re: Just for entertainment.

I'm sad to admit they didn't turn out as well as I hoped.
A lesson I fail to learn when working on my own stuff is to take more time.
Some of the sizes were not correct, I have a feeling I didn't save some changes in the CAD model.
It's a shame that the foundry I use no longer does sample batches.
I'd have to commit to a large run and if I'd taken that route it would have been an expensive mistake.
I guess it validates having a 3d printer :slightly_frowning_face:
The Cad model is now corrected, what little use it is now.
