A lot of heat?

There's no cover on this screw. I'm tempted to add a rubber boot to give a small amount of protection.

Found this tonight:

Customizable Protective Octagonal Bellows by Torleif

Quick and dirty code with few protections.Print in vase mode with some not to brittle plasticDon't go crazy with radius .As usually i appreciate reports of successful prints especially in flex type materials .x = 25; // bellows inner measurementy = 50; // bellows inner measurementapprox_z = 100...

With a suitable material, maybe this:

(Search Yoshimura bellows - nothing to do with loud motorbike exhausts - that was his cousin).

Thanks. I have a (rarely used) 3d printer but wouldn't want to print that. Also, I was giving further thought to my idea of adding a CV boot but I don't think that would be effective, as chips would still stuck to the exposed screw and then get caught when the knee was wound down.

Thanks! Looks identical to mine. But now I really don't understand why mine didn't budge.

Righty tighty, lefty loosy?

Right... This nut is going to come off.

 

[brightspark]

in what way

 

[6ply]

Very soft steel nut. Plan is to turn down to the threads.

 

[6ply]

Oops, this was unexpected. Slid inwards.

 

[6ply]

Looking good. Spacer slid off so I can access the remaining bit.

 

[6ply]

Wound straight off.

 

[6ply]

I'll measure the thread and see if I have a die to suit.

 

[6ply]

Should have given one away for Xmas.

 

[6ply]

5/8" major
18 tpi

5/8 - 18 UNF, I think.

 

[6ply]

Thread dimension is a bit annoying as I need to make a new nut and had hoped to clean up that thread. I'll have a rummage but fairly sure I don't have 5/8 UNF.

I'm pretty certain that I've a set of 3 5/8" unf taps.
