blackwood Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 When i saw ''baddest build ever''....I thought yeah, RIGHT....then, 20 pages later....WOW. robola claims to be from europe. i'm not so sure. I dont think we can do stuff like that here on earth. yet. no words i can think of really apply. ''bad ass''& ''awesome'' are not even close. I'll be thinking on new words to make up.

robola 46 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I kept myself busy with improving the diaphragm. The biggest problems are gone, and I'm satisfied how it all works now. The first thing I need to have, was a good slider/conductor where the nylon wire slides over when the diaphram opens and closes. Cause a roller would be perfect for the job, I editted one with the disc. The meaning of this was that I needed a sloth where the cable nicely stays in turn.I immediately put a screw in the roller with the propper roundels so it all was TIGHTEN. The I put it in my drilling machine, and put in the center of my mill. As you can see, fireworks were early this year :-) but it went perfect. After that I just let it turn, and held a piece of sandpaper against it, to smoothen' it some more. On the left you can see the roller, tuned by Robolop. Here you can see the total picture of the MDF board as it'll come into the trunk. My biggest concern is the spring. I really want to get this out of sight. Since I had some place between the seat I put it there. I had to make a seperate piece of aluminum to mount it all on. To do this, I first had to tighten the MDF on the back of the rearseat, and after that I could screw on the aluminum. I had to make this in 2 pieces, cause it all was to big to get in between. Underneath the spring, I taped a piece of vilt, so it can't make any noise. I'm planning of adding something around the spring to reduce vibration and noise towards zero. Here you can see the tuned roller, within the cable, that's in connection with the lever. Here you can see it working when closed. You can also see I added some rubbers, where the lever stops. Here the inox-cable will lay into, witch stands in connection with the windowwipermotor. The motor is already firmly tightened in the trunk, besides the end loop contacts, it's all ready to mount in the bimmer. As for now, I'm really satisfied with how it all works and looks. This I cannot say about Marilyn Manson his performance yesterday in the Lotto Arena here in Belgium. The asshole didn't feel like performing according to me, he stopped after an hour. the loser.

robola 46 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I did some improvements on the diaphragm. A lot of rings I made ended up in the bin. Sometimes these things happen. This time it was the outer ring. This one is tightened with 6 screws. The inner ring stayed the same. This is what's left of the tube. You can see I made a aluminium little cover for it. Now it's nicely finished when the armrest is down. The 3 toggles where the little cup is tightened with, are now polished too. Here you can see the backside. This will be the frontside. The meaning of all this is that I'm planning of working it all into one part towards the outer polished ring. Of the rest you won't see anything. I would like to do this in carbon fibre, so I'll get a nice contrast between the 2 materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 This is how it sits in the car, and I've got plenty of space up and down there. Here's the transmission with the steel cable. the "end-loop-contacts" Here's the motor who brings movement in all of this. What I feared the most, is how the cable was going to roll itself on. I managed to solve this simply by putting the supply out of the centre, of the axis' motor. this works perfectly. and believe me, I tried this many times, never malfunctioned.
