<div><font size="3">Are you familiar with hackerspace groups? Almost all metropolitan areas have at least one. It's a group of tinkerers, innovators and other assorted nerds who get together to share ideas, equipment, and projects. The one where I live (Columbia, Missouri) was meeting at one of the member's home shop until they recently rented space in a strip industrial area. </font></div>
<div><font size="3"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3">Some equipment is donated or loaned, some purchased by the group, and some made by the group. In addition to the more common shop equipment this one has a CNC machine, and the group is currently building a 3D scanner. I think they also have a 3D printer or two. The members include several engineers, engineering professors, and computer programmers. Here's a link to search for what might be available in your area: <a href="http://www.meetup.com/find/?keywords=hack&radius=50&userFreeform=Miami%2C+Florida%2C+USA&mcId=c33101&sort=recommended&eventFilter=mysugg">http://www.meetup.com/find/?keywords=hack&radius=50&userFreeform=Miami%2C+Florida%2C+USA&mcId=c33101&sort=recommended&eventFilter=mysugg</a></font></div>

Also, there are a number of parts suppliers out there with everything from armatures to housings and more, so a single motor purchase as a guide and the rest scratch built seems quite viable.</span></div>

<div>Hi Joe,</div>
<div>This looks great! Is the kort designed to fit the Minn Kota prop I sent you? I like the thru bolt detail and the 2 piece collar. When will you have a file I can send to a cnc machine?</div>

<div>I have finalized the design of the Kort Nozzle assembly for a Minn <span>Kota</span> 101 as per the dimensions provided me by another builder. There are a few detail pictures on my project page. <a href="http://www.psubs.org/projects/1371101163/msvalvinjr./" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">http://www.psubs.org/projects/1371101163/msvalvinjr./</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some assumptions, this is drawn for 11 3/8' <span>dia</span> square tip prop, 3 7/8" body, again with dimensions provided. It requires a concentric attach ring as you see here in SS in the style of a propeller shaft anode. The beauty of that is that it allows fore and aft adjustment as required.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will provide the CAD files and 2d drawings with B.O.M, required to Jon for download over the next week or so for whatever process a builder chooses. The nozzle can be scaled to accommodate other prop and body dimensions as required.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doing these little projects will help me tremendously when my time comes to build.</div>
