Louis Luu Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 5/16-32 thread. Will give it a try. Geoff will be sending me an intact oiler with the spring. I will CAD a jig for the spring. I need to source the proper piano diameter wire for the spring. I will try to make it so the threads are printable. The size of the piece will make the threads a possibility to predict for shrinkage.

Louis Luu Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Now I understand why Darryl was hesitant to make these. I will need to unhook the spring from the cap to remove the mechanism below to draw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 The internal parts are extremely small to print, but there are ways around this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Luu Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 I ordered a test print in metal. Will see how the threads fit. I also ordered one without the thread to see if it can be tapped with my tools at home. All the parts were put on a scaffold to allow the machine to print. Once I get the parts, I will snip it with a wire cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom piece is just a scaffold to help with printing small parts....can be snipped off with a good wire plier.
