05:18 PM Tom_shop: after i fliped em back to back
07:40 PM rue_mohr: heh, I'm interested in casting them :)
07:41 PM rue_mohr: I'm wondering about dipping that mold
07:58 PM Tom_shop: worth a try
07:58 PM Tom_shop: leave the vent side upwards
07:59 PM Tom_shop: i got a batch set up and running
08:01 PM Tom_shop: whole new program
08:36 PM rue_mohr: hmm
09:27 PM Tom_shop: so far so good
10:10 PM Tom_shop: couple little glitches but they turned out good
10:11 PM Tom_shop: pics to follow in a bit
10:11 PM Tom_shop: the 1/4" hole is 3/16 so i could hold the parts
10:11 PM Tom_shop: other one is 1/16"
10:14 PM Tom_shop: broke a tap off in a fixture hole but i still get 8 parts per run
10:14 PM Tom_shop: no deburring
10:41 PM Tom_L: ok i need to make a couple small adjustments and it will run alot smoother. the P2 side fixture was a little tight. i need to rerun that and open the pockets up a tiny bit

10:43 PM Tom_L: some of em aren't the prettiest because the fixture was tight
10:44 PM Tom_L: all the left side does is the 2nd side chamfer around the outside
10:45 PM Tom_L: one part i started to drill the 1/4" hole and realized i wouldn't be able to hold it
10:46 PM Tom_L: so get your casting working and you'll have a couple ways to make em
10:46 PM Tom_L: the next batch should turn out alot prettier
10:47 PM Tom_L: i was making adjustments along the way on the first run
