Hmm, maybe black to keep the original color scheme
I still like the murcie's tho

Are you guys using the reventon cap on your murcies? Wondering how that would look

I'm keeping mine OEM but it would be cool to see what a Murci would look like with one, like Alan says.

Will you photoshop a picture of the fuel door on a 640?

Thank you sir. It will look a lot better after the finish cut. The material is Nylatron from Cope Plastic. It's some really nice stuff to work with but expensive.

That is some nice work Alan, very detailed.. What material did you use to machine it from?

[SchulzeA]

Thanks!
I'm going to mold it and make more.

I am very interested in one if you do make a few available. I'm at the finishing stages of my Rev and would love to include this piece. Please let me know, and thank you for the updates. Looks really good.

 Sorry if there are kids reading the forum, but this is pure CNC-porn!

O

I started cutting the fuel door "bucket" last night. I separated it into two portions to make machining easier. Here is the upper section after the roughing cut. Thanks again to Bobi (Plans4sale) for being so kind to share his 3d drawing. He also has taken his time to alter the drawing to inches and Iges format just to help me.

Ohhhh baby I so want one of these if you'll be offering them for sale.  My 3D printer just didn't do a good enough job and my buddy that has talked about machining them has been too busy with other work.

PM me if you are making a couple of them.

 I have no idea about the tools used to cut the material. It was a turner in my town who did most of the work on the PS6 parts using my drawings. But to cut the cylindrical rod into smaller pieces, the staff at the shop where I bought the material used a large mechanical saw, and each time it took about 15 minutes to cut a diameter of 160 mm. I was amazed how strong this plastic is. No wonder that it's commonly used for RC scale car parts like gears, frames and suspension.

This is some good news Keep us posting, please.

 PS: I searched Google for "Nylatron" and judging from the photos I see, this material pretty much looks like the "Polyamide" which is largely popular in my area. Maybe they are the same material, but having different trade names? In the past I used Polyamide PA6 for fabricating some parts of my CNC-milling machine. It's an extremely durable material.

Did you use carbide cutters or hss? It's pretty ridged material for being plastic. I'm looking forward to machining it!
