Is there a size system for them? I can see different numbers on the ring, size 2 ,size 98 etc etc, if standard what are the dimensions on them? As an example this is an inverted mantle size 2/179b with Ceramic Ring
We have a vintage caravan (1958) the gas lights in there are a size 2. I believe they come in sizes 1,2 and 3. 1 being the smallest 3 the largest.
Yes, but were is the size 98 compared to them? https://classicpressurelamps.com/threads/keros-200-cp-for-lux-inverella.3379/
I know that on the German Hytta site there is a gas mantle page. If only I could find it.... It is a page with all the sizes on it.
you are looking for Infoseite: Magnesiaringe für Glühlicht, Übersicht historischer Formen and Mantle sizes for upright mantle burners: Infoseite: Glühstrümpfe für stehendes Glühlicht I think. Erik.
Well, in my case finding a 98 cheramic foot, I know will not be easy. But it got me thinking, cheramic 3D printing. Any one been doing something with that for a thing like this? I do have some 3D printed BD caps, but not seen any cheramic feet , or, anyone that have seen that?
3D printing, at home, is not that advanced that we can print metal or ceramic. If you have the 3D STL file you can contact a profesional company and ask what it costs. A complete out of the box solution: many dentist work with 3D printed teeth. So you may aks your dentist.
I was not thinking homemade, more as you say, a 3D file sent to someone like Online 3D Printing Service | i.materialise but I need to do the file first...
Way back I did some first steps with AutoCad and 3D modelling. And even made a gas lamp. With gasmantle with ceramic ring.
3-D printing is a possibility. And it doesn't have to be ceramic. A regular metal printing version from e.g. the services you mention would work for you just as well. Or you could make a mantle holder yourself from a piece of brass. It's not hard, but take some elbow grease if you don't have a lathe and milling machine. But you can make wonders with just a pair of good files and the normal tools like a drill press etc.
