EZ30R Exhaust Header Flanges
- Material: Mild Steel
- Machine: Haas VF4
A set of custom exhaust header flanges for an EZ30R engine.
This was an interesting project, since I had no dimensions or drawings to go off of, and the engine was not entirely disassembled, preventing easy measurement. Finding repeatable and accurate measurements on a cast body is sometimes rough – no pun intended – too.
With a little application of dykem bluing and cardboard, an imprint was taken to work off of.
Modeled in Solidworks and programmed 90% in Featurecam (10% on the fly at the controller).
Shift Pattern Christmas Ornaments
- Material: 6061 Aluminum
- Machine: Trumpf Punch Press
Made in 3 different patterns, these were originally gifts for folks who drove manual vehicles. Simple aluminum circles with different shift patterns punched in them, these have proven to be popular Christmas ornaments.
Drawn in Fusion360 (I think?) and exported to the native Trumpf software.
Head Gasket Keychains
- Material: Aluminum
- Machine: Haas VF2
V6 and V8 head gaskets in the style of early VW and Audi engines. Originally dreamed up for a car show at which I was a vendor.
Curves created in Adobe Illustrator and exported as DXF. Curves then imported into Featurecam and programmed.
