• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE610 Custom water pump housing reverse (normal) flow

Husqvarna

In a continuation of my sunk cost fallacy on this bike I've barely ridden; when I was ordering replacement valves from HTM (https://www.htmracing.it/prodotti-m...ssori-ricambi-husqvarna-sm-sms-te-tee-610-4t/)

I noticed they make (or made rather, it's discontinued) a cooling system kit that reverses the stupid 610 cold water in at the head and out at the barrel system, however; it's discontinued (like everything for these bikes...)

So; I decided to make my own system.

Step 1: design pump housing which can be 3d printed in PET-CF or PA6-CF (I used PA6-CF because that's what I had). Much measuring and lofting later:

Then to the bambu P1s:

Finally after 3 attempts (first was printed at recommended nozzle temp of 275 and had a cold layer near the very end when fan came on, 2nd was printed flat side down and I accidently made support z top distance 0...so it was one giant lump of plastic, 3rd was printed at an angle entirely on organic tree supports and at 295 on 110c bed (chamber was around 60).


1st attempt print I tried out today, was circulating into a bucket, it faired totally fine, got everything up to full temp.

I will need to do the cylinder connection and a different thermostat (maybe a thermobob or something, just simple inline); hoses will be very simple, almost straight up to a tee for the upper connection from the pump, then straight from the radiator bottoms into a tee fitting into the cylinder (haven't finished that yet).Cylinder inlet model.JPG

Will update the lost void that is cafe husky as I progress.
