I got some presents (from myself)!
First, a pistol-grip controller:
It's in way to good of shape for what I'm planning on doing to it. I'm planning on gutting it/hacking it apart and using it to replace the
Wii Nunchuck controller I put together a few weeks ago. I also got a couple of 2 channel receivers with it...not sure what I'll do with those.
Second, I got the
scorpion stators in!
 |
| They shipped them DHL Express, which was nice. |
 |
| They even included fiberglass end plates and coil protector sheets. But how do the stators look? |
 |
| Pretty good. The laminations are not perfectly aligned, but they're close. The result is a slightly larger maximum diameter of 70.15mm, instead of 70mm. Many of the dimensions were off by about .05mm, which is probably about the accuracy of the stamp tooling. |
 |
| I believe the wire was installed to keep them from breaking apart during shipment. |
 |
| Too bad they didn't cut them slightly oversized. I'll have to use the wire protector sheets. The double key slot is a nice feature. |
 |
| Both 70mm x 50mm stators. I plan on cutting them down to four 70mm x 0.75in . |
Not bad for $200 with shipping.
The next step is to update the CAD files with the exact dimensions, but that'll have to wait until after I finish ELB. Only 2 weeks left O.o .
Did you get "low-taper cutting"?
ReplyDeleteI guest not. I think that "low-taper cutting" is for thick parts like 1/2 inch and up. In your case it does not matter it's so thin.
Does it make sense?
Low taper cutting for what?
ReplyDeleteyou see, I read to fast.
ReplyDeleteI just realize that you ordered the STATORS from scorpionsystem.com and you were thinking of using BigBlueSaw for the ROTORS. When I read your post, I though those STATORS where waterjet cut!!
That's why I ask the question. I am also looking to get some parts cut.
I like how fat the teeth are compared to copier motors. More torque!
