[QUOTE="V_8, post: 60465, member: 2099"] Ill have a design done for the clip together jobbie and a prototype piece printed by the end of the week, my only concern is the toughness of the plastic for riffles and how long they will last having rocks roll over them for extended periods. Also another benefit I thought of was we could do a few different riffle variations and then you could clip them in any order and length to suit your sluicing conditions. Cheers for the ideas guys will post up a 3d render in the next day or 2 for feedback, more heads are better than 1 :) . Its a hobby for me and not in it to make cash, if i can contribute and give something back to the community on PA that has helped me so much i'd be happy. Also tested a centre cone on a new blue bowl on the weekend - a few things i've noticed having seen a few of the home made ones now. Classification of material is the most important thing, also the inlet manifold positioning is crucial to the bowls performance (need to have a smooth entry point and not create any turbulence into the side of the bowl, if it does it will push all the material to the centre quite early) Cheers, V_8 [/QUOTE]
