MINI spark plug ignition wire baffle seals. Test prints are looking good. From 5.0 to 8.5mm. Beefy little parts. 10-minute installation time using the drill jig. Turn up the heat!

kicking around a hose baffle seal.... I'll also swing this off at an angle to get a look. this is experimental, so, if someone wants to try something like this, let me know and I'll send some over. I can decrease the overall length of the seal to make it more compact and I suppose if one really wanted to make it stiff, use four screws, one at each quadrant.

RV8 Cowl inlet winter air dams.... these are always amazing; it's like printing the turbulators in thin air. these are off to somewhere cold.

Mini ignition wire seal install. I didn't have much luck drilling the center hole with the large step drill as it would not hold center position. recommend a circle drill or a hole punch. center hole = .75-inch diameter.

some nice little parts today. it's relaxing to make little things. nothing heavy. keeps the mind and hands in harmony.

kicking around a hose baffle seal..

kicked it off at some angles to have a look... still thinking about this one. I may just kick the whole face off at a degree instead of a barrel. it's nice to be able to look at different design options quickly.

slightly different, I kicked the front round face off at an angle. I think I prefer this style. I need to alter some bits and set it up for quick custom sizes and make some test prints.

some nice, printed parts this AM....

you can paint the top of these for better visibility if you desire.

kicking around a hose baffle seal... seems that it printed fine.

30-degree angle from perpendicular to the baffle face. hole sized for Eaton -6 integral fire sleeve AE401 hose, the brown one. 2.15-inch square.

I should be able to do any angle between 0 - 30 degrees. you want to measure the angle and be as precise as possible with these, because it's the FUEL!

a tiny camera fairing.... someone wants to mount a camera on the belly in order to look around. hopefully, I can come up with something reasonable for a fairing. a camera on the belly could be good for spotting an oil leak or a fire. a tiny camera like this doesn't add much weight. maybe you could take a look at the cowl exit area on the camera before heading out over Lake Michigan or down the Hudson. this could be the future.

this little camera is on a ball, so some small adjustment is possible. the set screw hole on the side holds position. a clever design.

a note from the first guy to request the design and install the new "Mini" wire seal. he is building a bear hawk airplane. it's nice to get a note.

Steve,

Thank you for taking the time to make the Mini wire seal. I installed one today and it worked out great. Fantastic customer service and wow, what a quick delivery.

Sincerely,
Neil

a tiny camera fairing... first print looks good. it's a nice nested fit. a quick project once I got started.

Eppler airfoil shape.

a tiny camera fairing... second and third printed. they are done and two waiting to be shipped. eye in the sky.

the cowl exit area is going to feel like it's always being watched....
