My TOP SECRET Water Supply
That's right, I'm giving you my secret to keeping your coolant healthy for YEARS!! Ultra Pure water and Blaser Synergy 735 coolant. No foaming and my sump lasts for at least 4 years. This is over $7k in filtration, but we have nothing local on the Island of Hawaii where I can buy very, very pure water.

Awesome Video! Your new block for this design should be a "deep skirt" design so you can use "cross bolted" mains! I see 2,500+ horsepower forced out of one of these things! Cross bolted mains would almost be a requirement! Good luck and Godspeed on your endeavor!
Great video!
Ford went all out in every form of racing back then - They won in all forms of racing, too!
So you will have a 2nd system down in HQ? I remember bringing jugs of that down from the summit for you. Oh. I see. The back up system.
Got a brand new system for the Summit!

@thesjyoungjr "smack 'em" ! Lol. Thank you.
Cool project! Great to see someone taking on a challenge like that out of their home garage.
The logistics of trying to run something like this out of Hawaii are mind blowing! 2 stall garage at home and a 28 (ish) foot standard car hauler. Pretty darn cool.
I work at the Ford dyno lab in dearborn. Today we had a company picnic to celebrate the 75th year of ELD( Engine dyno lab) the Henry Ford museum loaned our bulding this engine for the day. So I got to see Calliope in person today,and what a absolute treat it was to see this gem
A 427 Cobra replica with this engine would be unbelievable.
as an advanced 3D modeler & drawing guy at Lycoming Engines, I envy you getting to make those models. I love doing all the 100% detail casting & machining models for our crankcases & cylinder heads, so playing with that engine would be cool too.
Very nice work Greg!!! Going to be a killer car with that powerplant!
Good stuff Greg.
There were only 2 Mk IIs in the 1965 race. The others were GT40s. The Mk II is NOT a GT40, contrary to what modern historical revisionists say. Note that Ford called all its prototypes "Ford GTs". Worse, the video calls the Mk IV a GT40. What a joke. The Mk IV sat 38.5" high. It was a 100% clean sheet of paper design done by Kar Kraft and Ford in Dearborn. It featured an aluminum honeycomb monocoque and Phil Remington helped to reshape the J car into the gorgeous, curvaceous Mk IV. Amazingly, the most sophisticated car in 1967 was the Chaparral 2F. Besides the high mounted articulated wing, it had rear side mounted radiators and an all aluminum ZL1 427 engine. Unfortunately, Jim Hall's team was small and short on resources, but the 2F did end up winning the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch. Fun Fact: The 427 FE engine in J5 made more horsepower at the end of the race than at the beginning. 2nd Fun Fact: It is NOT Cal-li-ope. It is Ca-li'-o-pe. The Calliope was a musical instrument that used large whistles.
You win! I mispronounced just to see if anyone was paying attention! Call-lie-o-pee. Lol. The history was just meant to be general information. The engine, however, is not general. I'm modeling it to exact tolerances. Thanks for watching.
Wow , what an ambitious project . Dan is doing something I always wanted to see . I wish you two success . I wish I had just a percentage of your smarts ! Just the drawings and cad work , not to mention the actual casting/machining ! 👏 👏

What an awesome project to be involved with!!!! Looking forward to more videos on this.
Maybe partly just the jaw tips up. Nice piece!
Great install video. About to do the same to mine so very helpful. Thank you for taking the time.
on mastercam you can use toggle display on selected operation button the one with the cursor so it will show the toolpath automaticly when you select the operation it is realy helpful for me , it minize the clicks and allows to verify toolpaths real quick. nice job i really liked the video
Nice work Greg! Always interesting projects.

Behind the extrusion on the z axis scale, I am assuming there are pads that it rests on? Are these independently fastened or floating behind extrusion?
Scale bolts directly to black brackets seen at 3:37.
@@chopsmitty I think he was asking about the backup spar on the knee. At least that's what I took from the question, as the quill scale install was pretty clear.
Take your intro from 1 min to 15 sec. While this technique might be good for precision parts, for a blade that will be going through dirt and other stuff in no time, this is overkill and a waste of both your time and the milling maching. Get an angle grinder and use a jig. It'll not only be faster, but cheaper in the long run and easier.
Point taken on the intro. I'm a machinist who makes aerospace components and telescope parts. I just don't have a big grinder. I've got a Milwaukee 4.5 18v angle grinder, and removing this amount of material would take an hour per blade. I've got a Brideport and nearly an endless supply of end mills sooo....
They actually make a blade sharpener for lawnmower blades I used to have one and I sharpened many blades off of a bush hog very similar to those !!
Never never ever would I do this to my Bridgeport. Use a 9" Wildcat grinder would do this job quick. Your shop, your rules, but using the Bridgeport is just abusive to the mill and that carbide cutter is not cheap. Not trying to be negative, just stating my thoughts. ---Doozer
No, not negative! I cut far worse things in that Bridgeport, but I mostly use it for squaring up stock or punching holes in mostly square blocks. It's accurate way out in the travels and has a super nice new DRO. It's my workhorse. Now, I would probably never cut these in my CNC. It's just more valuable to me and the parts I produce.
Hey! You guys making Chinese spy balloons in here?!

Hey Greg Nice work. I have my hard drive at Siemens it went poof they are going to give me a SSD (new) what size did your IT back up your to I think you told me 2T that you have in the machine now Thanks
Joe, it's a 4Gb KingSpec SSD. KSD-PA25.6-XXXMS. Of course you'll also need the adapter to convert from the old school spinny drive to the SSD.
thanks as far as i know Fives (Siemens) is replacing it with a SSD i asked if they will give me a bigger drive but they are being wankers about it @@chopsmitty
Nice job Greg
Looking forward to seeing all these satellite components together on the final assembly, (if allowed) .
Yeah, apparently, nothing we will reveal is sensitive in any way. Pretty cool stuff.
Just stumbled across your channel today, I too have an Ammco twin cutter mounted on an adapter plate on the compound. I use an Ammco 1 inch arbor and the centering cones and adapters for hub less rotors and drums and turn between centers. I used Ammco brake lathes starting 40 plus year ago. People worried about dust, they probably ride bicycles play there guitar and smoke dope and have nothing better to do than criticize someone actually doing something, keep the videos coming thanks again ed
Thanks Ed!! You da man!
Why do you say illegal? If it was from a hotel in the 30s it was probably perfectly legal. It looks like it was well built.
Perhaps I should say "undocumented. "
Great job but one mistake don't suppose to bury steel when it rust away that will go to ground water sorry I did same thing. Finally I dug it all up and took to scrap yard.
Interesting. I'm asking around about this. One person said "Iron drain pipes are direct burial...?" Anyway, the cesspool has been abandon for over 60 years and the ground was absolutely dry - dusty dry (and it's raining in Waimea). All the local water is provided by Kohala Mounting ditches (rain water) vs. well water. I think there is very little risk in what we did. On a side note - not one recycle company will even accept my aluminum, steel, brass, etc chips. So all of that goes into the landfill. No other choice.
Do you know what the feed from the cesspool was? Was it from a previous structure that no longer on property? Perhaps from the neighboring property which at one time I think had a hotel from WWII days?
LOL. I guess I should have watched the whole video before commenting/asking questions.
Nice stuff Greg! Always great to see how things get jigged up. Work with what you got and make it work.
I have 3 Creality Printers (2-S10 Pro’s and 1-Ender 3 S1) and I just got this model in August. I also couldn’t be happier with the speed it prints at, the quality of the prints and the overall ease of use. We live full time in an RV Fifth Wheel and I just crack the window behind the printer and my wife has never complained about any smells (well once maybe when I forgot to open the window on a 3 hour print). You can control the amount of purge waste in the software (I use Orca and the Bambu software, but the latest update of the Bambu software prints don’t open in the older version of Orca without a warning. The initial printed lines also enables the printer to test the acceleration with the current filament and then it stops after the first layer to let you see if it’s OK before it continues. If you don’t pause the print then it continues as normal. You can turn off the bed leveling after the first print in a continuous session, but I reenable it after 3-4 prints in the same day. In short I really love using this printer and if I could talk my wife into it I would have two of them in the RV.
Petg SHOULD work on the Ender but yeah; you bought a lada and put Lamborghini parts on it. The X1C just works.
A notion that an ender-3 won't print PETG is kind of weird. Why on Earth wouldn't it?
Thermal run away every time. The hot end just cannot maintain temperature. This, coupled with the bed warpage issue and inability to find a sweet spot leveling the bed...
@@chopsmitty It's quite unusual for a CR-10 hotend to be unable to maintain 240-ish celsius temperatures, but if that's the case - you could just swap the faulty heater or put on a silicone sock.
would love to see how well the parts come out on this! awesome video
Wow you want from bad to worst with the Creality Ender 3 you realise fast that Creality now is just a clone manufacturer no innovation at all. Bambu Labs has changed the face of 3D printing. All 3D printers will now have to catch up with Bambu. Even Creality release a clone of the X1 called the K1 Max and its in no way a Bambu killer just a clone and a bad one at that. Congratulation of the Bambu Labs X1
Went from bad to worst?
That thing is quick!
Bambu PWNS. Congrats and enjoy! Creality plain SUCKS!!!!
I disagree. A ton of Creality critics are victims of user error...even if they won't admit it. I run 3 print farms and most of my units are Crealitys. I also run a 6 Prusas and 23 Bambu units. My Creality units are Ender 3 v2's/V2 Neos with silicone springs, sprite extruders, and Klipper...cheap and simple. They print very near Bambu machine quality and only slightly slower. Most of them only need bed tramming 3-4 times a year and failure rate is comparable to the Prusas.
I have 3 enders, a CR10 S5 and a sovol svo6. NOT error. Just shit products.@@OhImKiCkiN
@@OhImKiCkiN as you stated - it takes a ton of tweeking (silicone springs, sprite extruders and Klipper) to get these to function. We've had at least 3 mechanical engineers and myself trying for over a year to get the big Ender to print consistently. We don't want to learn and develop a curriculum how to 3d print - we just want to 3d print things. This Bambu seems to be the one for us.
I've watched quite a few videos about this printer. It may be the next one I get. I have been 3d printing for 5 years now and it was a hobby. I modified the Ender 3, Ender 5, and CR10S. All those are Creality printers. There's definitely a lot of tweaking with the slicer settings to get rid of stringing like you have on the Benchy. You'll never get rid of the vertical lines without hardware upgrades to the Ender 3. They are caused by the stepper drivers (chips on the motherboard.) If you haven't already done so, check out quite a few other TH-camrs if you want to get more out of the Ender 3. But, honestly, with the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with AMS, you won't ever want to use the Ender 3 again. That's what happened when I got the Prusa Mk3S. The Creality machines were only backup machines and then I was never happy when I compared their prints with the Prusa prints. Also, something to note that you'll learn about is the X1 uses a proprietary slicer that optimizes things for what it can do. Don't use Cura with it. That also means you aren't really going to be able to use it's slicer for printing on the Ender 3. So now you have to use multiple slicer apps. But the X1's app also has a mobile phone app that lets you check on things and kick off prints. There's so much to say about this that you didn't mention in the video. The last one I'll leave you with is to make a shoot for the plastic turds it poops out the back of the printer so they land in a trash can. Otherwise, you are going to have a mess on the floor behind that printer. Especially if you start printing multiple colors. (Do you know Adam Savage from Myth Busters? He has a YT channel, Adam Savage's Tested, and has 2 of these printers. Definitely worth checking those out and what his experiences have been with them so far. Spoiler alert, he loves them too, but there's more tweaking to be done.) Best of luck!
Couldn’t he just use orcaslicer and use any printer?
@rkatz69 I don't remember which slicer it is, but there are some with the X1 printer's profile in it, but the wireless functionality to push to the X1 doesn't work or other oddities. Sorry that I don't know all the specific slicers out there as there are just too many and I don't even have this printer to test on. But, generally, your question is correct. He could use a orcaslicer to slice for this this printer, but then has to switch the profile to slice the same model for the Ender 3. So, yes, same slicers, but reduced functionality and/or lots of tweaking that's just built-in and optimized using the X1s proprietary slicer.
You'll love the Bambu printer. 3D printers are finally getting to the stage where they are usable for business and not just toys for hobbyists. I bought the k1 Max to help with prototyping and have been pleasantly surprised at how easily and flawlessly it prints everything I throw at it. ASA no problem, TPU, no problem. The Bamboo is supposed to be even better. Enjoy!
