    Not needing food or shelter anymore because you’re dead is also great for your budget.

    This is called the Jesus nut. It holds the main rotor onto the helicopter. It doesn’t have any redundancy, so if it fails, you’re going to be meeting Jesus in moments.

    To be fair, if you don’t have the files. This is an easy way to make a prototype and fit it, and then if it fits you can order it in metal. This is a cheaper proces in iternating in metal from the start

      If the choice is between being out $1,590 or plummeting to my death in order to save a few hundred bucks, then I’ll just pay the $1,590.

      They call it the Jesus Nut for a reason.

        I’ve actually flown Robinson helicopters, and there’s no nut that looks like this on the helicopter.

        So, probably a joke.

        Good news is, that part ain’t getting off the ground. Bad news is, the rotor might get kinda fast first

      No. No.

      For this part? No. You want the real deal. The proper metal. The proper alloy, annealed correctly.

      source
      • faythofdragons@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Yeah, but to get there, you need a prototype. There’s nothing wrong with testing the fit using 3D printing before you order a copy in real materials, just don’t put it under any load.

        You could print it with normal plastic filaments, but those can deform and screw with the measurements if you’ve got a really tight fit, so metal printing is a good use there.

      You can also print in different metals with various processes like laser sintering, still though, there are some things you might not want to skimp on: Probably best to stick to approved parts.

      source
      • rbos@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It wouldn’t surprise me if such a critical part was cast as a single metal crystal. The stresses on that rotor mist be unbelievable.

    I printed an ABS powerwheels gear out for a friend to test the fit. 100% infill, tt was chonky, was going to get it redone in nylon.

    it fit and was ripped to shreds in 30 seconds :)

        At 100% infill, it’s all wall. Though the better bet is probably using the printed part to make a mold.

      People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

      That said, this is obviously satire/bait.

    One time, this was back in my skydiving days so a very long time ago, the drop zone’s CASA 212 was down due to a bad hydraulic pump. The pump finally arrived and the DZO asked me to help him install it. He was a certified A&P, I just had a lot of experience wrenching on cars but it allowed me to get a lot of free jumps due to helping him out on things like this.

    He handed me the pump, which was a LOT lighter than I expected and told me with a smile: “Don’t drop it.”

    In inquired as to how much it cost and he replied: “$10,000.”

    I was holding a pump in my hands that weighed barely 10 pounds that cost more than my car (this was circa 1998 or so).

    A couple years later the igniter box on the port engine died and I helped him replace it… That was a cool $15000. The engines were about $250,000 a piece back in those days.

    You are ready to own an airplane if you can wake up in the morning, burn a $100 bill and flush it down the toilet without feeling anything.

    You are ready to own a helicopter when you can do the same thing, except with ten $100 bills.
