anyone have a drawn up stator cover for solid works that i could use? I started drawing up my own but am having trouble trying to figure out the geometry of the cover. Im trying to make this in my cnc machining class at school. We are using solidworks/mastercam to program. Parts are for a 1997 cr250r. If anyone has any ideas let me know

I have found this one drawn by "Leon" on grabcad but i want to make mine differently and have tried to use this one and make the necessary changes i want but I'm fighting with it to get it to do what i want

Finally Got time to finish my cover up. Ended up replicating the oem cover except out of some 6061. I have the solid model for anyone who is interested. Cover came out really good I'm happy with it.

heres a few more pics for you guys. I wish i could make more of these and get into other parts. I truly enjoy doing stuff like this but the prices of machines, tooling, computer, solidworks, mastercam make it nearly impossible to start a small job/performance shop. I wish i had access to the machines at school forever!

tvalliere27, I sent you a pm. I was hoping to get your files. I have a friend that makes triple trees for me and I'm certain he could make these parts. Check your pm's and we can chit chat. I'm sure we can work something out.

Some of my parts I've designed and had produced.

Nice part wonder if the same cover with HRC in the middle would move better?

How many hours on the machine to do that cover? Looks good!

You'd be surprised. Programmed correctly I can't imagine that cover taking much more than an hour to cut out.

The triple trees I posted above, take 12 minutes for the top to be cut out and 15 for the bottom. Obviously the cover is a little more intricate but I can't imagine much more than and hour and a half machine time not including setup. The time consuming part is the setup of the machines.

I had about 5 minute run time on lathe and then the front side was an hour and a half because of the 1/32 end mill at .0003 per tooth so it was super slow. The inside took about 15 minutes.
