Do you think the spiral took very long to design(no offense fixxitt)? And umm am I missing something when punisher said that the Maze 3 was a spiral with a lexan top? weren't the original spirals lexan topped?

The original Spir@ls from Fixittt where metal tops. Geminis Spirals where some kind of plexy, probably lexan. Yes you are right. there is definatly though into where the barbs the O ring and what not go. But my point was that there is not any special fluid dynamics science other than common since in any of their blocks. Therefor a PDF really cannot be usefull. I bet the Maze 3 took some time to figure out. I bet they had quite a few bad runs before they made everything work right. I don't see much more than 8hrs with someone that really knows what they are doing though. The maze 2 is rather simple really. I have a similar version I made up but using 1/4" channels. I spent about 2 hrs on ACAD and I really don't know ACAD that well. Another hour with the CNC code, which I also am not to fast with yet.
There are a couple blocks I seen that I think actually have some real fluid dynamics though behind it and that is the Swiftech blocks. Also Peter from Gemini says his Spirals are all about fluid dynamics. Innovtech (sp?) also may have some extra thougt. But I don't see DD blocks have anything special. Just goes to show you can spend large amounts of research dollars just to get a C or 2 better than anyone with CNC mill and a little knowlege on how to use it.
