Lathe and CNC geekery - Driptips!

I think a black and dark purple would look cool on the black tfv4 with the purple glass tank.

I should read back moreā€¦ I just saw this.
Iā€™m actually afraid of using to much of a press fit because the acrylic may crack. I am going for a snug to very snug slip fit. Something that can be pulled apart for cleaning without too much trouble.

You can get all the colors in one kit. Or buy them individually.

One thing is for sure, the 510 drip tip connector on the TFV4 is a bit more than half as deep as most other tanks. Pissed me off when I got mine because none of my other tips would fit flush.

Sorry gang, off to bed with me. Fairly early morning. Didnā€™t want to leave anybody hanging.

My computer of 5 years died last night. (RIP)

I had all the drip tip order info written down and saved to google drive as well so nothing lost there.

On itā€™s way is a new (to me) HP Z800 workstation with 12 gb DDR3 RAM and 2x quad core E5640 Xeons of processing power. I got in the habit long ago of backing up my stuff to the cloud and to a server machine I run in my house that has RAID storage in it for reliability.
I know, a departure from the lathe and CNC geekery, but heyā€¦still geekery. LOL
I also got my final order of acrylic blanks in today, the black Delrin should be here tomorrow. Looks like Iā€™m a busy boy this weekend. :smiley: I should have the orders out sometime mid next week at the latest.

Too bad on the PC, but it sounds like you didnā€™t mind upgrading a touch. Let us know if itā€™s just easier to resend info. . .but it sounds like youā€™ve got it covered.

I sill have all your info. Important stuff I am diligent with. Computers usually fail at the most in-opportune moments. It failed, and I was ready for it. :wink:
Of course I donā€™t mind the upgrade. Though the one that died was no slouch. An Intel core i7 920 overclocked to 4 ghz. The processor is still good, just dated. Itā€™s the motherboard that failed. It is actually cheaper to replace the whole machine than it is to find another performance motherboard that supports that old chip.

So I actually got off my lazy azz here at lazeeazzacres and made something on the lathe.
I will be shipping to everybody that ordered them except for Alisa. Something about a TFV4 and an Aromamizer on the way, and Iā€™m not sure now which one she wants a drip tip for.
Anywho, The Reddy Heater is off, the garage is closed and the lathe is asleep probably till next weekend. :slightly_smiling:
All kidding aside, it was a joy and my pleasure to craft these little jewels for each and every one of you. The grand total in donations to Lars/daath/ELR to date is over $100.00. :slight_smile: Thank you!
A little eyecandy for yaā€™ll.
OH, and yes, that is a solid black acrylic drip tip in there. It is the first and last solid black one I will make out of acrylic. It took me a solid hour to get a finish on that thing that I could feel proud of. sheeesh, thats some tricky stuff. It shows EVERYTHING!

Umā€¦thoseā€¦look sweet as all hell, man. Also looks like a TON of work. But you seem to know what you are doing and I am a hack. Iā€™d be working on that until July. Nice job, cant wait for the install date. She needs a new build anyway so Iā€™ll put the new tip on at the same time and vape me some good stuffā€¦

Amazingly beautiful! Well done. :slightly_smiling:
