a friend of mine did some research a couple years ago on infill vs. strength, and found to his surprise that around 30% infill was actually stronger than a solid part. Theory is that it's something about all the little triangles that get created.
You have certainly joined the 21st-century with your 3-D printing. I think half the fun of watching your videos is listening to you talk. Your voice is like my first shop teacher and has that “Jimmy Stewart” midwest drawl.
We all love hearing you talk and explain what your doing. Don't listen to the complainers... They're just jealous of your knowledge and shop... I'm just saying.
Excellent integration of new tech and old. Love how we can improve our old equipment with the 3D printed stuff. Thank you for all the great videos, Sir!
Good video, my Rathbone lathe's dial is probably about 6" dia. and has a secondary verinier scale to read down to .0001. The Rathbone is a peculiar turret lathe with round ways and electric feeds. I keep it in the shop as a 5c collet lathe. For quickie small stuff. Plus it has a 3k spindle.
The old Drummond lathes that I restore all benefit from clearer dials and one or two modern refinements. What I do like here is that it is entirely practical for everyday use but is not a permanent modification. The lathe can be returned to original in a few minutes. Nice one Mr Pete
I like the darker dial material as it gives a better contrast with the white lines. My lathe is direct read with large cross slide dials in satin chrome. Know what you mean about the cataracts. I have been able to tell the difference in light transmission for some time now between my right/left eyes. Developing a cat in my right eye. Those 3D printers seem to be a useful tool for prototyping. Making with CNC instead of cutting with CNC. See you in part 2.
Can't understand people who reject knowledge. 3D, plasma or marking and cutting a pattern out of cardboard with a dirty finger and a ballbearing (all videos I've seen this week). You just never know when ... The quality of those dials is pretty dashed good as is the printing - your technique is improving too. With results like that, I'm so tempted
Thank you for the video mrpete, The basics are a foundation to better understanding and should always be repeated. You are getting beginners all the time so basics are valuble. Keep up the good work. Regards Beginner
I'm about half your age and have had very little interest in 3D printing. Your videos on the subject and your willingness to learn a completely new fabrication method has been very inspirational! If you can do it then what excuse do I have? :- ) Thank you and please keep them coming.
Thanks so much for sharing and teaching about the different Dials. I didn't think I would get anything out of this video, boy was I wrong. Yes, I use salt & pepper when eating CROW. ;-)
You have room on those printed dials to print below the graduations "Direct" or "Indirect" around the circumference. Could come in handy when swapping them.
This is awesome its a great idea the black one is easiest for me to see. I I would love to have one but I will never have the money to purchase a 3d printer or even have access to one, this would be great for the compound want one for the compound too!
Great idea, Mr Pete. I haven't used the crank dials on my old Atlas 10" at all, though, since adding dial indicators to carriage and cross-slide. It's so much easier, with no backlash concerns. I won't be going back to the crank dials anytime soon! ;-)
I have a 11 inch Logan. I was turning the thread diameter for one of your square headed bolts, and it is indirect reading: .005 is actually .010 off the diameter. It had been a while since I used it, and I had to remember that. I plan to mark the apron as you did, so I don't have to relearn if it's a while till I need to use it again. These are amazing projects. Thank you for showing them. Even if I never 3D print, I glean an amazing amount of info from your videos. Thanks Professor Pete! Happy to be in the front row of class today.
I have the old style 12" "not commercial" style craftsman lathe. I'm going to rebuild the cross slide lead screw with one from a taig CNC mill. It is very well made and is 1/2-20 tpi. I'm going to use the taig brass lead screw nut also. The taig lead screw nut is adjustable for backlash. This is also going to turn my .100 dials to direct reading due to the 20 tpi.
mrpete, As always a great video, and yes I watched the whole thing, always do. I like the larger dials, white on black would be the best...I think. GOOD TIMES!!!
I see a video in your future where your converting your print head over to dual extrusion so you can print these out in two colors. You won't have to worry about cutting fluids and oils messing with your lettering infill!
Great job Sir. Warner Barry. Aka barry bot has a great video on using brass inserts that are pressed in via a sodering iron. You can get them at mcmaster car. They would work very well for your project.
spray the raised number ones with silver satin paint and sand down a little to see the numbers . just a thought good work thanks long time fallow er another old man be safe.
Thanks for the video, if used for milling on the lathe be careful indirect or direct will make a difference, and possibly scrap your project! As your only removing metal off one face, Grahame from UK Coventry.
If you go to the thingiverse page www.thingiverse.com/thing:2820947 there is a link to order this thing printed that links to several printing services . I really doubt if MrPete cares to get into the printing business as a sideline lol .

Never boring. THAT VOICE!!! Mr. Pete could talk about doing the wash and I'd be interested :)

I once worked on a British Turret lathe , The Diles were huge. Perhaps 6 inches
mrpete222 we know how to things properly over here Mr. Pete. 😎
The old Drummond lathes that I restore all benefit from clearer dials and one or two modern refinements. What I do like here is that it is entirely practical for everyday use but is not a permanent modification. The lathe can be returned to original in a few minutes. Nice one Mr Pete
🤙🤙
Lee Rogers, I love the way he cares about the "future owner". You don't hear much of that anymore.
I have been pondering doing something along those lines on my little old Bench Master mill they might be even smaller and harder to read
Yes, you could adapt them to almost any machine

I like your descriptions, as It makes whatever subject you are on clear. Thank you Mr. Pete, keep them coming.
Thank you very much
Thanks for being a shop teacher. This want to be machinist can use all the teaching I can get being taught so I can under stand it.
Thanks for watching, and I am glad you like the videos
Your machines and workshop is always enviably tidy and clean so I was soooo please to see some old chips in the chip tray....
I just finished a big project today, and it's not so clean right now. I do clean up after each job
Another fabulous video. Thank you Mr. Pete!
Thank you

I can see using the 3d printer to create replacement parts. either for direct uses or for casting new ones. Thanks Mr Pete!
I'm about half your age and have had very little interest in 3D printing. Your videos on the subject and your willingness to learn a completely new fabrication method has been very inspirational! If you can do it then what excuse do I have? :- ) Thank you and please keep them coming.
Thanks, I'm glad you're starting to like them. Most people have rejected the 3-D printing
Otto Reuter, I was going to say the same thing! (except the half his age part)
As has been said "Faith comes by hearing so hearing is essential say on Mr. Pete
Those look great Mr. Pete, going to be a real improvement!
Thanks so much for sharing and teaching about the different Dials. I didn't think I would get anything out of this video, boy was I wrong. Yes, I use salt & pepper when eating CROW. ;-)
I think I see a new project in my near future - thanks for the brain food Mr.Pete.

You are right, a dial indicator or digital readout is probably far more accurate. But they are not direct reading
I have a 11 inch Logan. I was turning the thread diameter for one of your square headed bolts, and it is indirect reading: .005 is actually .010 off the diameter. It had been a while since I used it, and I had to remember that. I plan to mark the apron as you did, so I don't have to relearn if it's a while till I need to use it again.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like them, and can use some of the information
The 13 inch round head LeBlond trainer from 1943 has an 8 TPI lead screw as well, and it's direct reading. Thanks for this info. It's handy as can be.
Good project. Nice prints.
🤙🤙🤙
I use adhesive sewing machine sticker ruler to dial. Thank mrpete.

would be the best...I think.

Again as always an enjoyable video, I immediately search youtube for your video's each day.
👌👌
I see a video in your future where your converting your print head over to dual extrusion so you can print these out in two colors. You won't have to worry about cutting fluids and oils messing with your lettering infill!

very interesting, Lyle thanks I await the next part with interest.

Great job Sir. Warner Barry. Aka barry bot has a great video on using brass inserts that are pressed in via a sodering iron. You can get them at mcmaster car. They would work very well for your project.
Already have dials printed out LOL . This will be a big help on my lathe.
Awesome
spray the raised number ones with silver satin paint and sand down a little to see the numbers . just a thought good work thanks long time fallow er another old man be safe.
Nice project Mr Pete!

What does it cost for the large lathe dials for 10” Atlas
Another awesome video ! Thanks!
great idea,looking forward to part 2
Larger dials atlas lathe
The raised numbers on the dials would be useful for blind machine operators or working in the dark !
lol
Fo you sell these dials? I'd love to have a set for my Atlas 10f.
mrpete222 I have a atlas lathe 12'' x 36'' my lathe was made 1970 , where can I get a bigger dial so I can see it
You cannot
Where can I purchase a set of these?
How can I order you’re Atlas 40 hr corse.
Would love to get something easier to read for my Atlas 10”. I’m guessing this particular part won’t fit that model.
I'm not sure
Well, I’m going to print one anyway to see what the ins an outs are. Maybe the subject of a future video...
Are you going to make the print files public?
Yes, I think they already are on thing a verse
Mr Pete - can the print files for these dials be downloaded?
Never mind. Thank you for posting the source in your video description.
Thanks for sharing sir..
🤙
Fiducial mark is the correct name for the zero reference
Wow, did not know that
I like your coffee cup or can I get one
Don't know, it was sent to me by a viewer
enjoyed it mr pete
👌
mrpete222 Are you going to sell these? I could use one!
If you go to the thingiverse page www.thingiverse.com/thing:2820947 there is a link to order this thing printed that links to several printing services . I really doubt if MrPete cares to get into the printing business as a sideline lol .
Please turn your sound down if you don’t like talking 😂😂😂
outstand video mrpete; i have a South Ben heavy 10 want to make me a set hahahahahahaha
Thank you
Ain't it funny, but once being called a CAD of a man was despicable, nowadays being a CAD man is desirable.☺
To long. Points are repeated to often. Probably a good video at about 5 min.
