The shrinkage was factored in but for the life of me I can't remember the %, might have been about 1% but I can always find out if really needed. Can out spot on I know!

I've got one prototype left but this does not have the shrinkage if that's any good to anyone. It's a bit brittle though.

Chasmon, can you make these resin parts then? What materials do you think would be strong enough? Could you use my spare prorotype as a pattern?

Bell mouths were again modelled up and rapid prototyped (based upon the GSXr's), so I've only got 4 (I've got 2 sets of the GSXr's if any one is interested in these.

I have experience of the process at work and we have the kit, however I would not do a homer like this though.

To be honest I'd be keener if you had a prototype for a Zetec :p It may be worth your while finding out how much a vacuum casting company would charge. I'm guesing their labour costs (its intensive) would be the major cost...

Calling for anyone with access to vacuum casting kit!

I can find out what material would be suitable though for you.

Hey,

Actually vacuum casting is not very expensive (compared to injection molding or 3dprinting)
and it's really great for low volume manufacturing.

the shrinkage effect of vacuum Casting variation can be due to multiple factors (resin temp, vacuum time, mold temp, here is one great explanation https://bit.ly/2Jjd83K )

But we usually can keep the tolerance under ± .005’’ 0.125 mm
you can check up our website industery.com
we are a start-up specialized in the vacuum casting process

hopefully, this answer can be helpful.

Regards
