Oil filter drain back support... the cold oil 1 day test results showed everything remained clean. the hot oil test is in progress but the oil was less viscous and showed no problem to drain. so, I believe the limiting case is cold oil. I could declare success but I have a disease with details and I wondered if some additional guide rails would be beneficial as a positive oil stop. so, this is my next version. while I am doing this I might as well consider adverse conditions such as the filter base not being vertical in the vise and test for some off angle conditions.

Oil filter drain back support... I dug back into this, cleaned up the model and enlarged the oil dams and oil guide rails. now I am happy with it. 10 degree offset from vertical normal drain and overload drain worked well with cold oil (38F Phillips 20/50). cold oil is worse case for draining.

Custom size tool holder concept. basically, a small tool holder that can be made to any custom size. only 13 inputs on the CAD needed to make this part. the custom sizes would be length, depth and width.

Custom size tool holder. sizing a hold for a cockpit flashlight. when it's critical, it needs to be where it's supposed to be. also, adding a holder for this 10 yr old light. it just keeps going. I'm wondering if I have a dedicated place for it, will I not have to hunt for it as much? time will tell.

I noticed my smooth throttle knob is seeing some wear. feels better every day. the best thing I ever did. just torqued it with a nut, no glue or anything on the threads. 1 year or more (I can't remember) but going strong. this is my T6 (test 6) version. the pull out load for the insert was 1000 lbs. I may have applied 1 lb to this knob during usage. safety factor of 1000. rock on!
