RE: Worn gears once again
has anyone ever thought about making a casting for the gears and molding them with some heavy duty plastic??
I am looking into making myself a bunch of parts with some stuff called C-1508..
this is a description of it...
C-1508™ is a relatively low viscosity aluminum filled urethane casting resin that was developed specifically for making short run vacuum forming molds. When Parts A and B are mixed in proper proportion, C-1508 cures overnight at room temperature with negligible shrinkage to a very hard plastic that has a very high compressive and flexural strength. Cured C-1508 can be polished, machined, drilled, painted, etc.
TENSILE STRENGTH (PSI) 6200
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (PSI) 11200
sounds pretty strong...
plus i have all the molding crap. just need the mixture, i could make just about anything with it.. for real cheap... muahahah no more broken parts for me..
