Louis Luu Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) DeMott motor is back on track. I found a stainless steel material with the magnetic property of cast iron. The motor can be wound now. In print! I won't need to rely on a caster! Just need to draw up the pulley and make the necessary angle adjustments. The top piece is done. Just need the pulley wheel. Once done, I will tweak it to make it aesthetically pleasing. Rough draft of the top mechanism. Removed all the rough edges. This will help with ease of sanding without fillers. Added flush mounting holes for the screws. Top mounting piece took forever to get the curvature correct and clearance for the magnet wire. Minor fixing to the oiler. Now done. I measured the top mechanism and will begin work tomorrow. Done. Ready for printing. Got some time to kill this coming weekend. I will be tinkering with this.

David Kilnapp Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Wow, I’ve never seen one of these. Will you fabricate new blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be fabricating the whole thing as I don't own it. All I have are pictures. I will CAD it and cast it. I will attempt to wound the motor, if not, I will find out who can.

The side profile looks strangely like the Porter No. 1 side view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Luu Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Russ...why did you not tell me about this drawing...this sort of thing excites me! It is a thing of beauty. It draws out exactly how the mechanism is laid out and works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 This would be the top mounting plates. Note it tells you the position of the screws and where the bearings for the belt should be position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Took me all day today to draw the framework and take measurements. I did not realize how many parts there are to the Demott motor. I should have something to show by this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Luu Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Got the base done. Will work on the motor this weekend. The motor will be easier to draw. Everything has been scale for "Large toy motor". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
