Todays Cox 3D Printing Adventures....

So while it has stayed around and below -40 F all day today, I got thinking of things I want to try and print Cox related. There was 2 things that came to mind. One was the little black adjustment knob for the brass and aluminum Cox needles. This was relatively easy as I had found a file online for the little knob. Secondly was the plastic cam for the Cox spring starters. This I had to design from scratch. The cam took a bit of playing around with the program to figure out how to do it and honestly, it turned out rather well if I do say so. Took a couple of tries to get the dimensions all correct, but finally nailed it. Did a little test with it and it does work. Now as to how long and well it will hold up will have to wait till spring. I will make them in a different material as I just used what I had loaded currently for trials. Please disregard the 'roughness' and 'stringiness' on the cams as they needed adhesion to print without problems and I did not clean them up before the picture. After I had the RH cam done, the LH one was a lot quicker to finish up.
