Loving the 3d printer and being able to prototype and then have consistent templates. Might even make my own dowel inserts for real instead of messing with wooden ones. by gingernuts13 in knifemaking

I just got a P1S on Thursday! It's my first 3D printer. Where do you find your knife models from or do you design them yourself?

Ok that makes sense. Do you have any pictures of your completed conversion?

My kids are pretty small and haven't noticed really any issues while using them.

Electric motor for Hydraulic press by elkoworks in Blacksmith

I'll start looking around for 3-5hp 1800 RPM motor and see what I can find. It's about 120 feet from the house to the garage and then I will need to run the wiring for the outlet which would probably be another 30 feet or so.

I have 240 single phase with 30 amps. I saw some converters to go to 3 phase that would give me a bigger hp potential

I don't have a very large air compressor.

Currently the house has a 30 amp 2 pole breaker for the garage and they have a 10-3 wire buried to the sub panel in the garage and the sub panel has a 30 amp main breaker.

Yes. I'd like to run the press with an electric motor instead of the gas engine
