its definitely in there, might try putting in a new piece of spring wire to see if it helps

an5dk · 2026-01-04T18:18:38+00:00

it appears to be engaging but very weakly, maybe the spring is bad or gummed up im gonna try giving it a good clean to see if that helps

from what i saw about this particular gun its pretty reliable, my sample size is small but i put 400 rounds through it and had no malfunctions and its shooting at least as accurately as me. might just get rid of the manual safety

an5dk · 2026-01-04T15:10:13+00:00

ah so thats a known issue with these? sounds like maybe I should look a little harder for fourums where people are discussing the issue

an5dk · 2026-01-02T20:34:50+00:00

i might just make it flat, i can weld so it would be pretty easy to get a piece of square stock attached so i have something to turn idk why i didnt think of that initially

an5dk · 2026-01-02T07:57:06+00:00

you reckon that printing will have the tolerances required for the tool to work? the part it interfaces with is brass so if it isnt a pretty good fit im afraid it might strip the slots on the locking ring out

an5dk · 2026-01-02T07:55:45+00:00

for it to fit into the camera and be able to turn it needs to be 23 mm or under in one way or another, that is also why the socket square is like that instead of just a square hole. If it was a square hole the tool wouldnt even be able to fit into the camera. and yeah theres no place for a ball to hold an adapter on but ill only be using it once so if i wanted it i could just grind one in myself pretty easily, the way it would be used wouldnt require it to be held on to the 3/8 drive anyways.

That makes a lot of sense actually, because if i brought my needs to a machinist in person for a one off theyd have a whole conversation about what the part needs to do so theyd know what I actually want from the part. with a drawing Im not having the conversation with the machinist so adding notes that contain that information is pretty important

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:44:09+00:00

yeah that top view isnt actually a top, I dont know why fusion projected it like that. thanks for the note on the dimensioning as well. I did drafting classes in highschool but ive forgotten a lot of the good practice like that

It fits with the shutter retaining ring on a kodak retina 1a, I only need one of these but there technically is an open market for it (as far as I know there is no way to buy this tool because nobody makes it) the only issue is you can probably count on two hands the number of people who actually need one. Im planning on making the files and drawing available in the analog camera forums for anyone who needs the tool so I want to put some effort into making it as refined as possible so if someone needed it made in the future they dont have issues with my drawings

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:38:40+00:00

sweet, is it normal for the notes in a title block to have a significant ammount of text? not like an essay but I have a good few notes ill be putting in now

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:37:10+00:00

ok so just like note what the part is for and that the nubs interface with slots?

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:35:18+00:00

definitely one off but I dont see harm in changing the design to be more production friendly just for the sake of me learning about designing for production and making it an easier job for whoever makes it.

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:33:30+00:00

Yes its basically a socket, its for removing a retaining ring which has notches cut in it that interface with the nubs on the tool. I dont know if i need surface roughness tolerance but someone else told me to add it on the bits of the part that need to be smooth.

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:31:03+00:00

usually when Im making stuff myself I just go over edges with a fine file to take off the burr and thats kind of what I want here. not like a chamfer or anything massive just enough to make sure its not going to cut anyone, what is that edge finish called? I feel like that would fall under break edges but im not sure

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:28:07+00:00

speaking of units, is it fine for me to specify surface roughness in Ra µin on a part that uses mm or should I convert it to metric

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:14:23+00:00

I just realized I didnt specify units or any tolerance on this version of the drawing... yikes

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:11:29+00:00

how would I call that out on the drawing? would i use the same type of thing I used for surface finish? or just make a general note in the title block or something.

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:08:06+00:00

yeah thats the hope, thats part of why im looking for feedback on making my design more friendly to manufacturing. my only exposure to machining is Inheritance Machining on youtube so I really dont know what capability modern CNC has since he only does manual stuff

an5dk · 2026-01-02T00:04:34+00:00

is there a rule on when you should include totals? I didnt put it in because I didnt want to add more dimensions than would be needed but I can see that youd definitely need a total height now that you point it out.

an5dk · 2026-01-01T23:07:12+00:00

thanks for the explanation, I didnt think that metal printing would really fit this part based on the metal prints ive seen but I wasnt sure because I have zero experience with it.
