I ended up buying two 3d printers. An fdm printer & a resin printer. The fdm is great for making brackets etc & the resin printer is good for making anything that has to be air tight or water tight. You can get amazing detail with the resin printer.

@guernseysubmarine Күн бұрын

Thanks Alan. I did consider resin but for a noob, I think fdm is probably best. Most of the things I will need are just brackets and things. Plus the resin is more dangerous from what i've read. Not that I know much about 3d printing.

@@guernseysubmarine you just have to be careful of the resin fumes. I am more cautious of the fdm printer with it's hot end & potential fire risk. I sleep well when the resin printer is going.

I've got a 3d printer and could make small simple bits if needed. It's an old basic model so isn't great quality. I'll have a got if you want to draw it up.

Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that actually. But I do need to get my own, so I can learn. But might be good to see what yours can do. I'll have a think. Regards, James

Hi Question on the rods heating up. Iweld pretty irregular but like a heated rod I read some where I think it was on the box that you are not suppose to re heat but keep it heated.. It was some AFROX rod

@guernseysubmarine 8 күн бұрын

Hi. I only heat as many as I think I'm going to use. Its really to remove any moisture lurking in the flux coating. I've used old damp rods before. They are not good... These are new-ish rods and I keep them in a sealed container. But heating does help with starting the arc as well. Many thanks for your interest.

Use a flat bar instead of a rod, for the hatch closer. Then the flat bar is held between two flat pieces so the flat bar can move in two directions. Grind the end of the flat bar to a wedge to go under the land ring. Worked perfect on Gamma

On that hatch locking interface I would think needs to some small ramp that as you turn the handle, the more you turn it the tighter it gets. And I hope your using some type of seal around the door.

@guernseysubmarine 21 күн бұрын

yes agreed. I just didnt really show that on the model as it will be ground\machined as i make it, so it fits properly. The hatch will be sealed with an O ring in the hatch ring. Thats being machined this week I hope. Thanks for your interest.

@alanjames2333 Ай бұрын

Was wondering if you dropped the pressure whether it would be too negative a pressure to open the hatch 😢

@guernseysubmarine Ай бұрын

That’s why the valve is there, to release the pressure. Haven’t tried forcing the hatch open. Pressure drop inside is about quarter psi so probably would be too much to open. I will try it!

@bruceyoung1343 Ай бұрын

We’re you doin a pressure test of the sub to see if airtight?

@guernseysubmarine Ай бұрын

No, I was trying to test the scrubber. But did drop pressure a bit, so it did look like a pressure test.

I'm a serious fan of privately owned submarines, especially the homemade variety. I've dreamt of building a submarine since I was about ten years old. I am now 68, so I live through the adventures of others. For that I thank you! I am a subscriber of Hank Pronk's KZfaq channel, where he has built his submarine here in British Columbia, Canada. Actually, he only lives a few hours away from my home. Though this means nothing to you I am sure! Your videos are great except... your audio channel output for your "voice track" is WAY TO LOW. I can barely hear what you're saying. Then to make things worse, your music track channel output is set to high which is drowning out any resemblance of a recognizable language. That may be a poor choice of words for a submarine video, I'm sorry about that. You have, to my knowledge 147 videos documenting the building of a potentially great private submarine. Too bad your viewers will struggle to hear you, this could potentially affect your viewership & in turn your video channel income! Now, in the chance that it is somehow my fault regarding the low audio track volume, I apologize in advance. I hope you have a great day and happy adventures!

Hi Michael Thanks for your interest. I know the sound is\was awful. I have now got a lapel mic that i think makes it better. I try and use that as much as i can and really try to balance the music as best I can. Regards, James

6:34 I would rely on the measurement as you have done but checking it with a cheap _pipe center finder_ would be preferable to this method. Putting a level on the vertical while this is being done, would at least make it somewhat accurate.

Starting the threads with the drill press chuck looks like it works well enough for you here, but there is a handy tool called a "tap follower" which you can put into the chuck instead that might make the process faster and easier, since I'm assuming you'll be needing a lot of tapped holes

If you have more holes to drill make a drilling bush on the lathe as a guide you can grind the rad of the case tack it in as a guide. Just look up drill bushes. Also if you mag drill has a lower speed I would use that.
