Hello all,For the last few months I have been working on my take on the " Open Source Lever Project. " Inspired by the Australium. It's been a wild ride, I've gotten lots of guidance from other HB members and have gotten to meet some really cool people along the way!Now my project is to the point where I can begin testing, so I would like to share my progress thus far!-PID Controlled Heated La San Marco Group Head-316L Stainless Double Boilers, each with 2.4L capacity-PID Controlled Stainless Heating Elements (1650W)-316 Stainless Fittings-Joystick Taps-Home Lever DimensionsJust some rough CAD Drawings (That have since been through some minor revisions):Boiler End Plates:Boiler Pipe:With some help I got them welded and pressure tested:Then picked the elements and some cheap PID Controllers for testing(Arduino will be the final controller):Now I'm waiting on fittings to arrive then I can begin adding all the components(Safety Valves, Solenoids, etc).Then finally do some real testing and tweaking before the final chassis build!I'd love to hear your thoughts!So excited for the first shot!
