Here are a few other fittings I have been working on.
This is the work in progress of the A7LB / EMU Glove disconnects. This is my clear 3D print on a real A7Lb lest suit side disconnect, and in the background is the EMU glove side.
I have also been working on Apollo gas connectors, also modelled directly from real fittings.
ACES glove disconnects have also been produced. (Currently not anodized)
These too were created using a real fitting. They have the same function as the real fitting, but with no pressure sealing capabilities.
Cast metal Koch fittings will be available soon as well. These are cast pewter with basic function.
I will be offering some of these replicas in different grades;
"Class I" - Are high fidelity plastic copies, molded directly off either real fittings or machined aluminum replicas.
"Class II" - Are non functional, or semi functional machined aluminum fittings anodized correct colors. (Some of these on on the Orbital Surplus eBay page now)
"Class III" Are fully functional machined aluminum replicas, nearly identical to the real fittings. (But without functional pressure seals)
If there is enough interest I have been considering helmet kits. (They would likely be in the $3500 to $4500 price range)
I can do
Mercury (early style)
Gemini (early)
S-1030 (SR71 / U2 pilot)
ACES (S-1035)
These kits would include:
FRP shell
Optically clean Visors - Pressure and sun (if applicable) visors
Visor reinforce surrounds (FRP)
Cast (pewter) metal fittings with limited or complete functionality (In most cases, molded directly off real components)
Keep building.....
