Making A Press Mold - Axial Flux Stator Casting
Check out my latest project: https://youtu.be/gYs_jYUyaoY
Hey guys! Just a quick video today, showing how I made a press mold for casting an 18 coil axial flux stator - or showing why I prefer using vacuum injection instead. I built the turbine back in December, but my guy wires are now froze in a few inches of ice, so I probably won't get to install it until spring. In the meantime, I thought I'd share the press mold with you. It doesn't make a perfect bubble free cast, but it's easy to make, can be used multiple times, and does a reasonable job for DIY turbines. Links for the materials used to make the mold can be found below.
If you like these smaller projects, let me know in the comments and I'll try to publish more of them between the big projects to help fill in the gaps. With that said, keep your eyes peeled for an electric trike. As some of you already know, Grepow is generously sponsoring the build. I've been working on it and another big project on the side, but I'm not going to reveal that one until the trike is ready ;) Some really cool projects are in the works, so stay tuned!
