The black detail that the 3-d printed washers leaves at the base of each light is a nice touch. The slight reveal in both diameter and height really sets off the lights.
Sharing product information can be a good thing. Many good products are available on the market, but finding those products is often difficult when you start researching. Sadly many companies spend more on advertising than product manufacturing and development. When a UA-camr uses a product I’m interested in , and how the products perform it helps me make a selection. I liked the moulding of the hood ornament.
If you want the hood ornament to be mounted forward you could bob the point off to form a flat end. A smal,l shallow counterbore could represent a exhaust port with a drop of black or red paint.
Thank you for such a video! When I was a child, I liked not only to ride on attractions, but also to look (into the engine part, what kind of drives and engines were there.) Unfortunately, we in Kyiv had standard attractions (made in the USSR), a standard set of attractions with the names " Orbita"(Атракціон Орбіта), Chamomile(Атракціон Ромашка), Ferris wheel(Чортові колесо), Surprise(Атракціон Сюрприз) (one of the most extreme attractionsThere were bad cases of people falling out of rides like Surprise!), I wish you success, my friend! I am now 36 years old and dream of buying the "Orbit" attraction (it is the most powerful 2 engines of 4 kilowatts and a hydraulic system!) PS: I was glad to find a person who interestingly tells and shows how and what to do! Respect to you from Kyiv!
Well Pete I enjoyed this video I learned quite a bit about the ride that you're restoring and a little bit about the bearings what I don't understand is why did they put the big bearing on the top and the small bearing on the bottom maybe on your next video you could explain that or just reply but it looks looks good and I'll be posting more soon too I'm about done with my shop build so I get out of the sun to work can't wait for your future videos keep it up thank you
Sure, I will talk about that in an upcoming video. There are actually 4 different bearings- 2 roller bearings and 2 bronze sleeve bearings. Thanks for following along!
I just found your channel and am binging this series about restoring the rocket ride, but I wanted to give my input about your filament of choice for the light sockets. If you get a chance to reprint them in a PC/ASA blend (Polycarbonate and Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate Alloy), it's highly UV resistant, ideal for applications like the carnival ride that are exposed to the sun and weather. I'm a big fan of 3d printing solutions to problems like that, fun to see what people come up with!
Hi, I am not your normal commenter. It is nice to meet you! I saw you on Derral Eves's Livestream two months ago and was wondering if his consultation has helped you?
Hey, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I believe it has - gave me a more defined direction. Still working on implementing his ideas but seeing positive results.
There aren't many of these left and some are hard to recognize because they have had their cars replaced. This is one of the best examples that is still out there operating. www.ddputtingandamusements.com/photo2_11.html Thanks for Watching!
I'm glad I said something. I'm subscribed now you earned it. I had to pause the video and make sure I read it right. Then just laugh. Really funny subtle engineering joke.
Watch the entire project here: ua-cam.com/play/PL9JRE2uksm9tonX17TZt38K6RH2EnDNf1.html
When those lights first came out they were referred to as turbo lights that was back in the '80s now everybody's going LED
They're still called turbo lights. most advertisements I've seen use both turbo and cabochon in the product listing.
The black detail that the 3-d printed washers leaves at the base of each light is a nice touch. The slight reveal in both diameter and height really sets off the lights.

I have a mini split for my 17' x 21' shop and it keeps the shop comfortable all year. And it's quiet.
John, was this a self install job like a Mr. Cool or done by a professional?
@@PeteRondeau it was part of our house remodel, so professional.
man i love 3D printers, they can save us so much time and money.

Thank you for these videos, I started watching yesterday. I really enjoy seeing old rides restored and cared for. Can’t wait to see the end result!
Glad you're enjoying them. Next update probably coming out tomorrow. Thanks for watching!

This is very interesting information. Thanks for sharing. I’d love to see what some of these rides look like.
Go with a mini split. I have one in my shop, and a 2 zone in the house. Much much quieter than a window shaker. It was well worth the price.
hey pete i found the rocket ride that you are working on and i hope you have fun
Go with the tool grinder for the shaft. The weld on tube will mess it up.
We need more!!
Getting back to it this week. Had a few more distractions that kept me from it.
Buck Rogers all the way.
Get a gas powered pressure washer and one with a heater.

I love these videos!! You are doing an amazing job!! Inspires me to finish my little ride!!
Thank you! More coming soon. What project are you working on?

Oh I love Smooth-On. Great video. You will have a ball casting. Can’t wait to see how those turn out.
Yes! Eager to get to that part of the project. It’s a great evening project for when it gets too dark to work outside.
Coming along good!!!
Thanks, bit by bit it's getting there.
You need to patent the washers, ASAP! I'm sure someone in the ride industry has run into the same problem,
I wonder what it's going to look like when it's done I wonder how long it's going to take him to put that video out take some long time

Hey Pete I love carnival rides too. I tried to look to see if I can find this ride but all I found was a vinyl ride called "happy pond"

Red
I know
ok
When I watch this video it has blue flashes on text me back please😁😁
I'm not sure why that would be. It seems fine when I watch it.
I see you have an extra Marzel Vane & extra wane shafts. I didn't know you worked on discombobulators.
You are literally the first person to ever notice this! I've been waiting for this comment forever! LOL 😂
I'm glad I said something. I'm subscribed now you earned it. I had to pause the video and make sure I read it right. Then just laugh. Really funny subtle engineering joke.
glad to have you along!
