Brake drums on the f1 cars are made with lots of printed formers now. What they tend to do is on the open end they print it with 6mm holes You then have a plate with pins on the correct centres that you push into the holes then bag the whole lot up I would be really interested to see any kind of picture if avialiable to have a better understanding , thanks

For example From the centre of 1 fork end to the other is say 150mm When you print your fork at the ends in the exact centre of each you print your 6mm hole You have a plate with 2 6mm studs pr bolts protruding with the centres at 150mm Push the 2 studs into your printed holes Your part is held at the right centre during cure Once at room temp remove plate/studs

That was exactly what i had in mind , i just finished redesigning my forks (chainstay and seatstay ) and a support rod to hold the legs in place . Unfortunately i have the chance to work only on weekends , so mid week is desing and print only . I will post again as soon as i have a new result .Thanks for the feedback.
