Hi All, Some images and 5 minute summary video of a recent project, an aluminium low profile breather cover for my kitcar's hayabusa engine. The project cad/cam was done with Fusion360 and LinuxCNC the blue finish was done with my home brew anodizing setup :) |

Very cool. So a couple of questions... 1. Original design or does it mimic the Busa's breather? Not sure what it looks like. 2. Are you using a catch can at the other end of the hose or just a filter? Eric |

Nice job, I exspecially like the anodising very good result from a home-brew! Eric, it mimics the style of the BigCC breather cover sold by Orient Express. The original stood up like a tower and used valuable space under the tank. I fitted low-profile one to make room for a large fuel pump. Most people fit a small filter on them because they don't tend to breathe much. The original was piped into the airbox, for emissions purposesto take away oil vapour I guess. |

I too reckon it is a good job. Congrats. :clap: I was also interested in the anodizing setup you have. Question; Have you done a write-up of your anodizing setup? I for one would be interested if for no other reason than your setup looks like it just might be feasible in my minuscule space. John B |

Hi All, Thanks for the feedback This was my first real cad cam project I copied the BigCC breather cover (as Pete mentioned) changed a few small details, but this was a perfect learning project as it had adaptive path milling, facing, engraving operations. The blue hose is connected to a home made aluminium catch pot, and fancy CNC bracket for the catch pot, I will put a post up about the catch post and CNC bracket, but here are a couple of images of the catch pot bracket tool paths I used and the product installed and anodised ... SwarfnStuff I have been meaning to write up my anodising process as it is very feasible in minuscule spaces as long as there is decent ventilation, but I'm still learning at the moment, just got my etching setup complete recently ... |
