Aim kilns, like any other kiln, can certainly be run on a mercury relay but it really depends on the controller.
For decades AIM really only sold the Fuji PXR3 and it's various predecessors. Now...
Whoa :(
I was just thinking about him a few days ago. He was one of my favorite customers, always with good news, excited to see what was new, never in a hurry - we're both talkers, so his visits...
Oh lordy.... look who's back. Back again.
I'd say we're about 20% disgruntled old timers who can barely hack it with glass, 30% hyped up kids who learned all there was to learn about glass in...
wait... is that just a glass crutch? I mean, that's probably one of the very first functional things I made with glass in like 2000... if it's what I think it is... just a little 2" length of 9.5...
What? Quality DC motor and American made controller for under $400? Sure, why not!

Thanks Mahmood! That's pretty good clearance, a few more inches would be nice, but it's not a huge lathe...
Still like to know the swing.
In a glass lathe swing is the distance from the center line of the bore to the top of fire carriage. This lets me know what size burners I can mount, and what size ...
Can you give us the swing, bed length, total run out (tolerance), and other specs for the lathe? What kind of motor is it, what are the speed ranges, how is speed controlled, etc?
Maybe some day, but not with existing technology as it stands now. The complex feedback between glass and human operator makes existing common technology incapable of working glass free form / free...
There have been various powder printers printing glass for over a decade. Zcorp was doing it last time I went to Siggraph over 15 years ago. The glass powder is sintered in a kiln after printing -...
3D printed glass is absolutely a thing... I'm not disputing that.
What I'm saying is that THIS: 90171 is not 3D printed, but loop stitched glass... I stay pretty up to date on 3D printing...
Pretty sure you pay them $500 up front and JRO$$ spends an hour rubbing his balls on your stuff while Drew shows you naked pictures of Puff Danny.
(of course I'm kidding, I'd consider flying up...
I think you're stretching the definition of "3D-printing"... that looks like loop stitch / spun glass.... something done by hand, not machines...if it's a machine, I wanna see it in action :)
Naw... just a guess, but Shapeways is probably the shop that actually printed it, if so, that much steel... probably $1200-1500.
Also, if you really want to hit these guys, you need actual...
I get pretty frequent requests, but the price usually ends it. They're thinking about the $30 imports.... can't find a middle ground on that.
Too fast to see much of anything until they slow down, then you see the spinning color discs, they look kinda neat, but only lasts maybe 4-5 spins.
Use the [video] tag, and put the full URL...
Neat! I'm gonna make one too!
edit: I made one!

Pretty neat, and gave me a good excuse to use the slo-mo function of my camera
This is not something to do by request, it is required for ALL sales (or trade) offers.

I thought Nipro bought the Vineland plant?
just a quick thought...
Not all heatsinks are created equal, or with the same application in mind. That CPU heatsink is probably intended for use with a fan, or in a case with a fan that would...
Damn, the day that just keeps giving.
RIP dude.
Yep, we'll put it together around the same time a bit later in the year, but no one says you can't start working on ideas and contributions now!
Gonna close this for a bit... this conversation got too heated, and the name calling and personal insults started to flow.
The parties involved acted poorly and let emotion (and probably lack of...
You might look into drafting pencil leads, possibly available locally... I know they make them in 2mm
