We recently finished MS6 which includes the solid model of our MCM, the drawings for all parts of the MCM, the bill of materials, and the step-by-step manufacturing plan. The MCM, or plunger, is a very complex design and will require advanced manufacturing skills. In order to machine the bottom two pieces of the plunger, we will first waterjet the main shape; then drill the center hole; then mount it in a lathe and cut down to shape., it should be very fun to make such a very unique part.

In order to complete the plunger, we need 3/4'' diameter aluminum rod and a solenoid, which are not provided in the kit. We have decided on the type of solenoid we need (shown below) and a supplier for the solenoid, and will soon place the order. We are still looking for a supplier for the aluminum rod.
