New design idea.

[BaThMaN]

how bout this?



base plate is 1/4", nozzle/jet plate is 1/8", cover plate 1/2"...

[leejsmith]

yes.
sand the cut sides so they are very smooth start with 120 grit then work down to 1500.The sides will not look clear yet. if you then spray with clear acrylic paint the sanded sides will look clear and you will see through the plexi / acrylic.

[Puzzdre]

For a plexy polishing, a guy that works with it here told me that he 'polishes' the edges with directional flame, eg. small torch, of lighter, but you must be very carefull not to heat the plexy too much to gain the bubbles and loose the flatness.

Dunno, I haven't tried it yet, but that's what he told me...:shrug:

[Gulp35]

What would you think a pump with 1100L/h and 3.2m head would do through your block?

This is a rough graph that I made by GUESSING how the P/Q curve would go. and I predict that by the second red line the the 2 MaxiJet1200 in serial would get better gph @ the full Pd.

Again this is only a guess.

i read that on another modding web site but when i did it with the acrylic it just melted.

anyway here is a quick example of what it can look like with a only a little work. This is made from the ikea picture frame.

yea that's the shot

flowrate? hmm about 350L/H mabie up to 400L/H (assuming we're talking about the 2 maxijet's in series)

note even a single maxijet will give good results, the second pump will give between 1.5-3 degrees lower temp, judging from my experience with dual pumps and direct die jets.

It's nice to know that my idea can fetch $80 USD!

What's with the white lacey stuff anyways? Pffft!

In all fairness though, I had a lot more holes in mind, over a wider area ... maybe I should just shut up now... Ya'll PM me, if you're an interested Venture Capitalist, ok?

When I cut plexi/acylic/lexan, ect. on my mill , I use tranny fluid and wipe it in real good where I cut, and it becomes as clear as the uncut stuff and stays that way.

It was a tip from a guy I know that does custom windows, ect.

[leejsmith]

how rough is the plexi after you mill it ? i sand it because i hand cut the sides and it's very rough after.

with a sharp bit it generally comes out pretty smooth, smooth enough to polish up with a dremel polishing tip and some medium cut paste, even if you don't polish it when it's wet it usually clears up pretty well.

The white stuff is the same that Volenti used in his prototype...

Volenti, did you do this?

Can you give us more info on that tranny fluid (I really don't have the simplest idea what that is )?

Pls?

I believe he means automotive automatic transmission fluid.

You guys have cars over there? :shrug:

Thanx Bob!

Think that my mother's Renault 5 with automatic transmission box will suffer because of this...

LOL, I'm sure you guys there wouldn't call 'em cars but toys, but the similarity is obvious: four wheels, some heavy boxes, bunch of wires, several sq feet of tin and (in some cases, cars 20 yrs old and older) a smoke barrier.
No, those blonde chicks sitting on the passenger side on the pics are not delivered with the cars, not even here. Trust me, I bought three bath tubs, and they all came empty.

Cheers!

My truck is 17 years old.... car before that was 19 years old and the one before that was 33 years old. They didn't even come with a used Blonde!

A renault5 with an automatic tranny? That's a crime! It must be driven standard, it's the only way!

If Im really pressed for a super clear finish, I use tungten carbide bits for a dremel, and mill the final passes on the edges, at about 2500RPM's. And you wont have to worry about any uneven edges, as you sometimes get with a polishing wheel.

Comes out so smooth and clear ........almost perfect.

Volenti, did you do this?

I was wondering how long it would take you guys to figure it out , the gasket material is a dead giveaway.

[Gulp35]

How has it performed now that you have revealed yourself?
Also where do you get that gasket material?

[Volenti]

it's about 1-2 degrees off my micropin block, I had to de-tune the jet's so the block could be used with the pumps most people use, Eheim 1046* minimum, recomended 1250* or higher. I'll offer a tuned jet version for people who have iwaki pumps or simlar. (though there's nothing stopping you from using the tuned version with a pond pump, it'll work, it'll just slaughter the flowrate, you'll get around 200-250L/h with a 1250.)

*or equivalent.

I also noticed that you were austailian, the company was also australian. I also noticed the L.E.Ds. It's your signiture. Why did you steal Ben's idea?
