Hi guys,

One year after designing and 3D printing a prototype that failed because it wasn't water proof, finally machined the housing from aluminum.
I'm really happy with how it came out.
It was a really cool project.

Hope you enjoy it too.

Nice, what finish did you use paint or anodised?

Spray paint.
One day will anodize all the aluminum parts.

Ok I thought so, keep an eye on the internal paint, the coolant *could* react with the paint and make it dissolve/flake off and block your spindle internal tubes, it should be ok I think but something to check later...

I'll keep an eye on it. I was hesitating to paint the interior bore, but I thought if i didn't try I would not know

Thanks for your tip Lee

Tomorrow will try to make this project.
Been dreaming for a on-board probe for a long time.
Hope it goes well... in CAD always looks nice Lol
