No that's not what I am doing.

The tubes are fairly small. 11.2mm ID, 12mm OD for the inner. 12.05mm ID, 13mm OD for the outer. approximately 40mm in length for the inner, 10mm for the outer. Force is what a person will apply to rotate the tubes with his fingers The person should be able to turn this easily, but not...

I need to make two close fitting cylinders that are longitudinally locked in position but need to rotate against each other. I want to make this in as few parts as possible. I was thinking of machining grooves in each cylinder and placing the Teflon ring in the groove of the inner cylinder...

Good idea! But unfortunately, there is no room for more electronics.

Buying Ti foil for the switch cover will make this into two parts and not a one piece unit. OK, so basically Ti is not flexible enough to be made thick enough to be used as a cover for an electrical switch?

I can't see the volume needed for stamping to be cost effective in this product. However it would be a very interesting way of manufacturing this design if there ever was that kind of volume. Right now I am looking more at CNC prototyping for the actual manufacturing process. Has anyone...

The original plan was to do just that. Turn the top into a membrane switch with a thick rim for screw attachments and o-ring seals. But how thin does it need to be? What contour should the membrane be? Dome, flat, convex, or "corrugated"? This is a personal project and cost doesn't really...

Lack of formal education does not always mean lack of knowledge. :smile:

Thank you Danger Titanium was choosen for it elastic properties, corrosion resistance, resistance to wear, colorability, and also its inherent "cool" factor. I would also like to keep the number of parts as low as possible so I would like to machine the cover as part of the switch housing...

Can titanium made thin enough or designed a certain way to be used as a cover for a push botton switch? Such as the one made from plastic in the flashlight below. http://www.photonlight.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=P1-keychain-LED-flashlight The titanium would cover the...
