Then you know the good Czech beers and might be a bit disappointed from the thin beer at the Oktoberfest. At least I consider the Czech beers to be the best in the world. Peter

 

[Goldwasher]

I'll be fine...I drink a pretty thin beer...already......I do in fact know what a good czech beer is and do enjoy them...you probably have better prices and variety over there however......I'm sure they have to use a thin beer to avoid having to put in places for NAPS

Nice details on your build! I have a suggestion . Instead of using Plexiglas for the top of your fluid bed , use Lexan . the Plexiglas will scratch up and your visibility will be reduced quickly where as Lexan wont!

Hi All,

New person here. Does anyone still have the CNC plans for the FBS mentioned here i have a CNC and i am interested in making one

 

[X4FRNT]

You could use a 3d printer to make this, much cheaper than a cnc or laser cutter. Just print the parts and assemble. Just an idea...

what is the hardness of printer material ?

 

[mofugly13]

You can print with ABS. But, in my experience the finished product is nowhere near as strong as a 'monolithic' piece bent, glued, etc. Also. A 3D printer big enough to make a bazooka would be extremely expensive. If the gcode was available I would just pay someone to laser cut it for me. I dont know if CNC laser cutters run on gcode....just guessing.

Somewhere, on my old laptop, I may have saved the attachments the the OP posted.

Its weird that both big gold trap companies went outta business. I still have my bazooka sniper but I havent used it in ages. Maybe this summer I'll dust it off.

Last few times I was having problems with it. I had dirty water flow from people digging upstream, pieces of leaves clogging the tubes and blocking stuff. Next thing you know the tubes are jam packed with silt from the water and chunks of crap and your gold is washing straight out the sluice.
It must have clogged up 6 or 7 times that day and I was cursing it. Since then I've only used my Angus sluices and never had one problem.
It's a good system as long as the water is clean, deep and fast.

Double post......again.

Actually three including Croc gold trap.

It's not weird. It is a very small market. It will never be a viable product unless two guys are making them for funzies or a company with a larger product list takes over.

Oh I never heard of croc. They were gone so fast!

exact copy of bazooka made from cnc parts made in Australia

Did it have a clear deck over the trap? I saw an imported bazooka knock off with a clear deck on it at the last GPAA gold show I went to.

Grizzly Goldtrap didn’t go out of business. Two things happened:
1. The mold for the smaller sluices broke. The margin on those models was too small to justify further investment.
2. The owner’s other business accelerated and demanded more of his time.

As a result only the largest model is still being made. Yup, that’s right, still in production! He no longer takes orders via the website. You have to email him...that way he can set your expectations on how long the wait will be. Often he has a couple-month-long waiting list.

Pretty hard to label that a viable business. Thanks for proving my point Kevin

Goldwasher, is the size of the fluidizing tubes, and the diameter and pattern/number of holes in them 'proprietary' info?

Would you be willing to share that info?
