The Festival of Stuff finale was bursting with delectable making madness, this time through the theme of mini-golf. We built an 18-hole Crazy Materials Golf Course for our visitors to play, as well as filling the street outside the Institute of Making with demonstrations and making stations.
Bored with my current headphones, I decided to spice things up. The left had a green arrow that was thick with paint, and I tried sanding it, but I figured it looks pretty cool just like that.
I then went over the silver with metallic red automotive spray paint after taping up the parts of the gun that I wanted to remain silver.
The paint didn't stick real well on the pump, but that's alright, it'll rub off in a little bit anyway.
Cut in for nose bell, blanked off mars light, added nose light, added nose grabs beside sand filler, new M3 horn, firecracker antenna. Plow is a stand in. Need to change numberboards to black on white after being returned by DT&I.
Here's the completed turret with the outer clear-shell replaced, you can leave that bit off if you like, I prefer it on, just for the look of the thing, especially since I won't be painting the turret.
Here's the stripped down internals of the Titan, what we're going to do is get rid of all the extraneous air inputs and outputs and add some tubing to extend the connection between the pump and the air tank. We're also going to put a check valve so that the pump doesn't have to handle the back-pressure generated by the additional pumping.
Oh, and we'll also be getting rid of that moronic air pressure monitor that the air tank is attached to in the upper right of the picture.
Fixing the piece of ali to weld into the rear of the block with a piece of steel angle. This allowed me to get things as close to flush as possible minimising the amount of filing needed to the welds
It's not finished, but it does keep the grinds from staying on the center of the star. The final will have a smaller diameter. I realize this is a goofy design, I am working on a completely different design that makes more sense.
Red= 4 fuse block from an auto store, home made cover. Negative browns go to a four hole block grounded to the battery (-)
Gray = headlamp relays in a household junction box. This works only with tallest seat setting.
Note the external fuel filter rides up where you can change it w/o removing the fairing.
The baggie holds fuses, fuse puller, and an LED for checking fault codes.
I basically modified the speaker pods, that came with my Bluetooth Chatterbox Unit, for my motorcycle helmet. I removed the pods, so that I could add, earbuds. This is all done, to enhance the music listening (or phone call) experience, while riding a motorcyle.
