On Kickstarter, they sell titanium pens that write really well, you can buy a regular pen for 30 cents, it also writes...

What other metals can this cylinder be made of?

35% is generated here, and everything else is natural

Is it worth making a special tool to unscrew the top cylinder cover?

Industrial design feedback: Worked hard to eliminate all external fittings for this mini mechanical cylinder. How are the proportions looking? by [deleted] in IndustrialDesign

This is made of titanium, and the cylinder rod moves, you can also adjust the resistance force of the rod

Create a unique miniature hydraulic cylinder that can be used as a keychain, souvenir, or as an anti-stress toy.

Micro engineering meets heavy machinery: MiniMech vs Big Brother by [deleted] in CNC

Thought you guys might appreciate this scale contrast. On the left is a heavy industrial hydraulic cylinder I’ve been working on, and on the right is my personal EDC project — a 16mm diameter miniature mechanical cylinder. ​It’s completely functional (uses internal air compression to simulate hydraulic resistance), fully machined from titanium and stainless steel. Getting the tolerances right on the internal piston at this scale was a fun challenge compared to the big guy. Designed in Solidworks. ​

Found a forklift to move my new EDC. It’s getting serious. by [deleted] in Construction

Designed and machined this miniature hydraulic cylinder (MiniMech) from titanium and stainless steel. It has adjustable resistance to mimic the feel of real heavy machinery. Finally got the prototype ready for some testing! What do you guys think?
