Need a part for your Cobra?

Doug,

It sounds as if you have the technology down to a very good point. And I was wondering about the broken part where they glued it back together if it was a very tight fit, would the break case a problem with the finished cast part, but now I can see how you would work it and it all makes sense. And with the tolerances that you can set, everything should work great. Sure beats the old slide rule and drawing paper method. I remember when I started in computers, to do any graphics I had to have a graph sheet that had the coordinates of the screen and I would then put marks where I wanted the lines. After that to get it onto the computer I had to go in and type in each point and it would then light a pixel there. Once I saw how it was going to look, I could have it start putting in the lines to connect the dots. Boy, am I ever happy that I don't have to try to keep up with all of the new technology now.

You can do surface smoothing for the breaks and surface irregularities
