History for Fowlers Attempt (history as of 6/24/2007 9:24:16 PM)

Fowler is purchasing 3 sets of supplies. 

First, there is the purchase of the syringe parts for a deposition tool.

Parts for the Syringe
Part # Qty Description Cost
511S-B 30 Piston 10CC Neoprene Black  
 Unk  1  Kit of Syringe Tips - will try to find part #  
 5111LL-B  30  Barrel 10CC LL PP  
 Unk  5  McMaster Carr parts to attach piston  

Here is what those parts look like:

Second, there is the set of parts for a motor. 

I decide to buy parts from sherline that will move a saddle nut up and down.  We can then attack the piston of the syringe to the saddle nut (I think).  Why not?

Parts from Sherline to attach motor
Part # Qty Description Cost
67028 1 CNC "Z" Axis Screw-Model 5000/5400  
67106 1 CNC-RH Coupling Preload Nut (course)  
67120 2 Stepper Motor Preload Bearings  
67102 1 Stepper Motor Mount  
40170 1 Saddle Nut (and Instructions)  
40520 1 Cup PT ST Screw 10-32 x 3/16  
67105 1 CNC Coupling  
67115 1 SKT HD CAP Screw 5-40 x 7/8  

Third, there is the plastic material to deposit.

I am going to experiment with two materials from day 1.  The first is from GE and called RTV 102 White/Blanc General Purpose Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant.

 

The second material is from plaster.com and is DryStone Casting Media.  I got a lot of this, so I will ask my wife and kids to play with it some in order to figure out consistency, etc over Spring Break.

So!  Fowler is on his way.  All he has to do is mill the metal parts to put all of this together on the Sherline!
