That's harsh... Razz emoticon

Other than the wiring failure, it was all probably related to enhancements I've made, and it had been pretty much dead reliable since the rebuild this spring.

But the wiring...that's some shit right there...

Thanks Sub, but don't worry. I had to buy a pile of stuff so I slipped a brake disc into the order. So I have one, but haven't fitted it yet.

Bodge,
can tell with the rubber T5 mat

today I charged the battery on the LXv hope to finally fit the belt tomorrow

forecast- no snow, no rain, no gales +3C

fingers crossed the scooter and shed gods don't shaft me again, Not getting too pissed tonight just encase the forecast is right.

That's cool. Do you take requests? There are some GS/SS/Rally bits of unobtanium that would be cool to have.

Like the battery cap/cover from this thread:

It's only SketchUp, Ginch. I need to do all the gears next, but as a winter job, I don't think I'll do any more on it soon, now that spring is on the way here.
I'd be interested to know what software chaps are using for modelling 3D printed stuff; I've tried a couple of freebies, but not managed to create much.

Hot damn, that is a nice model, looks like lots of hours to 'build' ! So all you need now are those gears & the cases?

To answer your question, it's listed as a 200x200x220 build volume, but I am already seeing ways to extend that with minor modifications. They have the same printer pimped out w/ dual nozzles, touch screen and 300x300x420 which is probably about as big as this design can handle.

If you'd like to share your model of the carb with me, I think it would fit and I could send you back a print of it if I get this thing working properly. It is now assembled and operating nicely mechanically, so now on to calibration, software interface, firmware looky loo and other hocus pocus. Eeek! Fingers crossed...

These things have gotten ridiculously cheap and basic designs are 'open source' with similar machines made by different companies much like Vespa parts. The quality varies too like Vespa parts, but the component quality I got was very good in most cases.

Ginch - nice work, I like the little door to change the spark plug
also like how the front axle works relocating the front wheel to lower the bike

I don't know how close I am to having any 3D printable models from my SketchUp modelling; I know 3D drawing pretty well, but have no experience with 3D printing.

I'd need better software than SketchUp for modelling objects with complex curves for printing. Unlike AutoCad, SketchUp breaks arcs down into straight lines, so it goes wonky when you intersect 3D curved surfaces, or extrude curved surfaces along curved paths. That's why I was asking what software others are using for modelling for printing, for example Patrick's Carb bellmouths, which I couldn't do in Sketchup.

You're right my engine model is made up of many individual .skp files for each part, but some of the more complex parts, for example, the carb have some curved surfaces still missing, and the intersections of curved surfaces is also not something that can be tidied satisfactorily in SketchUp. In fact the carb is probably the most complex and incomplete model there; it's made up of at least four simpler models, each intersecting, but with the channels needing to run between them. I also can't do items like threads or springs in SketchUp because it can't do a true helix.

I actually drew the carb in the first place to do an animation of each circuit activating as the slide moves, but I shelved it with a headache a couple of years ago, and just stuck it on top of the engine model I'd done previously, which again I'd done for crank/piston animation initially. I've just been drawing new bits, as well as SketchUp will allow, and placing them in the model as I go.....

I had a very quick read about 3D printing from SketchUp this morning; you have to create an .stl file, and it suggested MakerBot for finishing models, so I installed that. At present I don't see how .skp files know what is soild and what is void - if you introduce a section plane it's just wireframe with surfaces/materials, not solids.

I saved an .stl of the brake shoe, which opened in MakerBot OK, but with a few errors (marked below), and I don't yet know how to tidy those up.

Example of .skp in SketchUp - to - .stl in MakerBot (with errors):
External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

..and the same .stl in Blender:

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

...finally, I uploaded it to Shapeways to see if they'd understand it, and the cheapest material costs £32!

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

But at least, in theory, I could print stuff like that if needed.

That's as far as I've got with it; you can have the .skp and .stl for the shoe to play with if you like; there's also the Blender and MakerBot files (.blend and .print). I'll spend more time on it soon, but it was really a holiday project that will get less attention now as spring arrives, and I want to play with my scooter instead.

I work with a number of guys who are into 3D printing. They all use Autodesk Inventor to build their models.

One of them is a championship robot combat guy (3 lb class), so I assume he's got a pretty solid handle on his design modeling tools.

Plus, he has access to an industrial 3D printer at the local MakerSpace, which can do carbon fiber and all kinds of other cool stuff.

On the scooter front, I finally threw my fuel-air ratio meter on the Stella and discovered I was too rich on the main jet. I set the carb so the ratio is about 12.5:1 across the entire throttle range and now it will rev and hold 9,400 RPM's in 1st and 2nd gear. I didn't have time to go over to the highway and see how it holds up at highway speeds and now the snow is back, so that won't happen for a bit.

Chandlerman, please post up a thread showing where you've mounted it and how you are reading it, etc. Seriously I'm very interested in doing this. I've been going insane trying to jet my Malossi kit or rule out air leaks....

Roger that.

It's not intended to be run full-time, so I just mount it when I'm changing or testing the tuning.

I'll do a write-up one night this week or, latest, Saturday.

I use a Koso Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Meter and have to wire it directly to the battery because it doesn't get enough voltage off the switched DC circuit from the regulator.

The biggest piece of it is that you'll need to weld (or get welded) a bung onto the exhaust to insert the sensor. I think the local muffler shop by me charged $40 to do it and they could only do my SIP Road, not my JL knockoff because it's stainless.

I need to get a bung in the JL, though, because I'm soooo close on the VBB's tuning. It's another wheelie monster when it hits the power band of the pipe , but I'm fighting with the idle jetting and just getting pissed off now.

Down pipe for PM20 Evo is available separately in non-stainless, I'd order that if I got serious on doing a wideband. Maybe the JL has the same available?

I put a bung in the SIP road. They are quite large in a small pipe. I did wonder if a more temporary style of thing might be better... using a clamp type arrangement like you would on an EGT.

So with just a hole, and something like this to hold the sensor -

You are so lucky. I saw him just a few months back and he only did two Jam songs, and three Style Council. Still a good show.

Cool brother, I'm glad you got them

I do have a few left and I'd be more than happy to post one out to anyone else who would like one.
I'd love one! Haven't heard boo from Mark at Scooter Speed.

No problem G, just ping me your address via PM and I'll send you one as soon as I can. Would your lady like one too?

As for Scooter Speed, I didn't get a response from them either which is why I decided to put something together myself in memory of Chris.

Hope you're well mate.

Finally bought a stator for me spare t5 engine ..... now I can start to rebuild it .... It'll take ages as I need to sort murderöné but then I'll have a spare .... need a piston for it so looking for summat cheap to add a bit of go as like a tit I flogged the standard one. It's gonna be a engine stand runner so I can maybe try porting when it's running 😮😈

Think its all there apart from engine bolts n a good carb I've got a spaco standard n a 28mm spaco that needs a rebuild so I have choices.

Need summat to keep me from climbing the walls

I hate to interfere with your freedom to express yourself, but I would advise stopping the motor before porting.
