I cranked in another full day on the throttle linkage, and today went a bit more smoothly than yesterday. It turned out to be pretty painless to mirror flip the tabs holding the springs. Those were one of the first things sketched out in the design and often when you change things that far upstream you get tons of lost references in Fusion. This wasn’t too bad, though.
The CAM also had to be tweaked, of course, but by late morning the mill was back up. All 6 operations on the cylinder 1 part went smoothly.
With the cylinder 1 part done, I continued with the front-back link. This is a pretty simple part, because it’s prismatic it can be made in two simple ops.
The ends are reamed 4.02mm so it’ll spin freely on the 4mm dowel pins.
Only the cylinder 3 part remains now.
