Version 1 fit check next to a factory T. Modifications already made in FreeCad, version 2 will get printed tomorrow. This works in TPU, so I probably won't have to mess with molds for silicone!

In another thread the issue of yoke vs. DIN came up (yet again). One of the arguments postulated against yoke was the idea that it could be dislodged or sheared clean off by impact while diving. Having only ever heard of this in the hand-wavy "it could happen" discussions, I'm hoping to get a...

I had made an inspection light a while back for an internet friend, and then more recently offered one to another.... then life got in the way and I took forever making it. With it taking so long any way, I went ahead and took the time to do it right (or as right as any of my projects get!)...

I'm not a CCR guy, but I built a cheap, low pressure, hose dryer for my double hose regs and someone recommended I pass the idea to y'all... https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/hose-dryer.624351/ I don't know that my cheap 5v fans will push enough air for rebreather loop drying, but if the...

Because randomness, and I'm trying to figure out better storage and transport of DH regs, I found myself wanting a reasonable way to dry hoses quick-ish. So I threw together an old 5v wall wart, a couple 30x10mm 5v fans left over from an old project, and some printed bushings. Instant low...

A couple years ago I started a project for double hose mouthpieces based on the Hope-Page design. Of course, at the time, I had never seen a Hope-Page in person. A number of evolutions ended up with a workable mouthpiece, with wagon wheel/horn assemblies that are changeable for different hose...

As some of you know, I modify/make/alter and otherwise do different stuff with vintage gear...... I'm rebuilding a supreme, and hate the silicone oil with a passion (gets everywhere, leaks out too easy, etc.). Has anyone tried packing with silicone grease instead? In my head the theory is...

In a week (20-21 August) I will be meeting up with at least one other Vintage enthusiast at The Scuba Ranch for a couple days of diving/show and tell. All are welcome.... I will be bringing a DAAM, RAM, Cyclone/HPR updated DAAM, Healthways SCUBA, and maybe a couple other toys. Respectfully, James

Almost 2 years ago, I started a thread on my $28 BPW... That particular one is back in action (sort of, has a known slow leak from a malformed elbow.), thrown together with spare parts. It's officially a spare, and reminder of lessons learned now. Since that experiment, I've refined the...

Well, attempt 2 at this thread... Let's all hope the servers don't crash again! lol Long story short, between kids that dive with me and friends borrowing gear, I often find myself cleaning up multiple sets of gear at a time. To save space soaking regs, I now put one reg on my pony bottle, put...

@Luis H and @wildcat99s , as mentioned in another thread... I have started modeling a replacement for the screw on 1085 T's... First draft is loosely modeled on the narrower style. I'll get to the wider ones eventually. I have some minor adjustments to make before I'm really happy with this...

I was just gifted 2 38's with bushings that I am looking to put in service for my 10 y.o.... unfortunately my better half has me on a spending hiatus for a bit, and I need a couple 1/2 inch taper valves to put on these tanks to use them. Hoping someone has a couple in rebuild-able or ready to...

Simon ( Buddhasummer) is trapped with few options open to him, he has offered unlimited help to anyone who needs it here so I’m going to offer up my DIY Wing MK3 (estimated 15 to 20lb lift) suitable for short plates or double hose... following in @lexvil 's pattern ( For Sale - SB celebrity sale...

As mentioned in another thread, I'm starting on a mouthpiece design inspired by the old Hope Page mouthpieces. Goal is to have it reliable, use standard mouthpieces off modern regs, and easily adaptable for different hose diameters. Below is the first cut, still needs seals, and mushroom valves...

I was just given an older steel tank by a non diver (had been used as a paintball fill station at one point). It's a Faber manufactured, Scubapro branded steel... Shorter than my LP 72s, and fatter than an Aluminum 80 (I believe it's 8 inch diameter). Not DOT stamped, and the valve in it is...

Well, I started tinkering originally on vintage metal single hose a while back because it was a cheap way to learn what I was doing.... ended up so satisfied with the gear (mostly Conshelf and SP MK5/108/109s) that I saw no need to buy any new-fangled plastic stuff. But it turned into a...

As promised (threatened?) version 2 of the Death Wish Engineering BP/W! This is shown with a Steel 72 and my 13 y.o.'s MK5 with U.S. Divers SEA 4 seconds (cut him some slack, he rebuilt them himself). Notable improvements: 3d printed ABS hardware has been vapor polished (stronger and...

Introducing the DeathWish Engineering backplate/wing Mk 0.1! Miss-matched cam-bands were stolen from Pony brackets I had laying around, webbing and cobra buckle were in my miscellaneous sewing salvage. Red nylon and long zipper started life as the bag that a queen size...

With a couple of threads happening recently about 3d printing, I thought it would be nice to start one that is not discussion, just pointers to things to print. I'll throw some out there, please add to the list if you see anything else good out there. Things I put on Thingiverse: BCD OPV BCD...
