Virtual Log
 

Made this while I should have been working.

Aaron, thanks for the D-series flange CAD file, you should hook me up with a T3 flange so I can finish this thing :)

Re: Virtual Log
 

In the time you spent messing with that, you could've already made your manifold ;)

Re: Virtual Log
 

The boss might have noticed me running a welder in the office.

Re: Virtual Log
 

www.t3flange.com has various flanges, measurements and cad files.

Re: Virtual Log
 

1 hour and 48 minutes is my best time for a log.

Re: Virtual Log
 

Wow, took me about that long to draw it this far.

Awesome, thanks!

Re: Virtual Log
 

looks pretty good what cad program did you use?

Re: Virtual Log
 

Boy, aren't you just a high tech redneck now?

Re: Virtual Log
 

BricsCAD

I live in Alaska, it would be very difficult for me to have a red neck :-*

Re: Virtual Log
 

no it isnt. isnt it easier to get a sunburn from the glare off of the ice? and if you boss catches you welding in the office just weld his nuts to a table and throw it out a window. where in alaska do you live? my ex (im still really good friends with her) lives in ft. wainwright i think.

Re: Virtual Log
 

I keep my neck covered while outside.

I'm in North Pole which is next to Ft. Wainwright.

Re: Virtual Log
 

Is crab any cheaper up there?

Re: Virtual Log
 

I Mean i have done cad so i can give you respect nice work but. whats the point. its a log. If you were going to cad something why not cad up something crazy or like a top mount or something?

Dont get me wrong Log pwnz of course but why cad one?

Re: Virtual Log
 

Because he was bored at work?

Re: Virtual Log
 

Re: Virtual Log
 

Maybe a little, but I'm pretty far inland, so it's probably the same as the pacific NW.

Well, I haven't done much 3D CAD work, so it was kind of a "I wonder how hard it would be" plus:
:y

I was also thinking about those prototyping places that can turn cad files into molds for casting. I wonder if there's a market for cast logs and if it would even be any cheaper to cast them. Hmmm...

Re: Virtual Log
 

Making a cast log doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you can just make a cast manifold design like the ones currently available. If you're going to use pipe and flanges and weld it together to make a log that's one thing, if you're going to make a cast manifold a log shape with thin walls isn't ideal for strength.

Re: Virtual Log
 

Cast ramhorn? ;D :1

What I'd really like is a CAD drawing of a complete turbo, not just the flanges. Maybe that'll be my next project. Anybody wanna loan me their snail? :y

Re: Virtual Log
 

That would be sweet. You might be able to find some parts of the assembly online and make the rest.

Re: Virtual Log
 

Any good online tutorials on learning AutoCad? Kind of off topic, sorry...

Re: Virtual Log
 

hey next time you go to waynewright track down my ex and punch her in the neck. ill send you 5 bucks.

Re: Virtual Log
 

It's best to just monkey around with it until you can make it work. That's how I learned.HA! she left you for a GI, didn't she? He was black, wasn't he?

Re: Virtual Log
 

haha no her dad is army and got stationed there. she drives a 03 civic and is a really good welder actually. works on her own carm just learned how to replace the clutch when hers went out.

Re: Virtual Log
 

np. ;)

Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of white people who may be found in many regions of the United States. Originally limited to the Appalachians, and later the Ozarks and Rocky Mountains, this stereotype is now wide------ in northern states. The word can be used either as a pejorative or as a matter of pride. The blunt definition of the stereotype describes one who lives in a rural American area, is poor, and sometimes would own a pickup truck and would have an apparel of a cowboy and a southern accent

Re: Virtual Log
 

danit, guess im no redneck then, but i sure know a bunch of them.
