All the example parts shown are basic shapes with self supporting angles so I assume that this machine cannot use support material which greatly limits complex geometries. This will not take a...
Very interesting
So this is an FDM process with heated chamber? what is the layer height resolution? how long do the tips last at those temps? what is the operating temps inside the build chamber?...
I have been working in the 3d printing field for the past year and a half and have researched this. MITs printer is a cool proof of concept with molten glass but I believe printing with FDM...
I have been using 2 homefills filling into 3 k tanks for around 3 years since I moved to a new house and set up in the basement where there was no good place for a liquid tank. It works well even...
lathes are much easier to find now than 4 years ago when I was looking. A lot of people are selling there larger littons and heathways to buy Az lathes and the other new machines. If you are patient...

15 years. Reading this forum regularly for most of it!
happy birthday melting pot!
the regulator is on the "gas-use" side of things and has never been very acurate for me. A guage is great for filling. I also think a shut off valve is necessary to contain your o2 within the metal...
delete- double post
yes that is probably why your fill time is so slow. Add a shut off valve to keep your o2 contained within the manifold system. I find if you fill into the red/green welding hoses you always loose...
I fill into 3 tanks linked together, all open, to +-600 psi = 1800psi or one mostly full tank, then work off it for the day untill it gets low then let it charge up again overnight.... If you let it...
Hi i have these ribbon burner and other torch tips for sale. Most of them fit on national size threading. I bought them but couldnt get the right flames with oxygen and realized there for air. Great...
call around you can probubly find a lynx new. I have a carlisle mini cc fs in Ct. good beginner torch but youd probably get sick of it after a while.
Bump.... Cool lathe and video!! Good luck with your sale. M
interesting video from Corning about ancient iridescent glass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIHXOq9hE0U
Not sure how OP technique is done, but its probubly some nasty chemical or oxide used...
first attached image is the only link that is working, just letting you know
Dont fill above 2000psi and it will be fine. You should have a fill guage besides your regulator that goes to the torch lines. Also a good tip is you can work off a tanks while they are still...
A couple years ago I went to an ASGS meeting at his studio. It was one of the most inspiring days of my glass career. His studio is more than impressive....
If this doesnt sell I will have a pristine condition low hours Mirage for sale. If anyone is ready to go for a mirage let me know. Im putting it on the shelf untill I sell one or the other. Thank you.
It was actually from my original L marver that had pipeclamps..... just surface dents.
Hey all,
Just received my gtt delta elite back from a $300 refurbishing/line replacement. Torch is in used condition but with many years of glasswork left in it. Comes with blast sheild Lmarver...
If you dont have a crucible you can try fusing the block in the kiln. Arrange fire bricks, or scrap kiln shelves into a rectangle shape mold for the shape of your block, fill with crushed scrap...
