OK, had an hour or so today after work so got the plate tree done for OD's 3D Magic Flute... Heres a little graphic to be goin on with...
Once I've got all the parts assembled, its over to Vray for a decent photo-render... May even try to animate the plates bubbling...
Dont worry LC, I'll get round to the Humper...

Doesn't take long in Inventor to make the parts, Once completed I'll upload a full parts list for the Flute, Dephlag + Shotguns routes...
Hope the bottom tray's downcomer is is OK, think I saw it on a Flute build thread...

Edit: Thanks OD, seems like these diagrams serve to Iron out those little things... Model and Graphic Updated...

OK, after giving it to Olddog (thanks man), to seal it with approval here is a complete schematic The Magic Flute (1 meter 4 plate), at scale (A0). I'll add a complete cutting list with a method of building later... Plumbing of the cooling system has not been done in this schematic to keep the schematic understandable to everyone... A separate plumbing drawing is under-way and will be implemented as a layover to this drawing..
A plate and tree diagram will be included... Great design OD, we don't get something like this everyday...

Acknowledgement:
This design is attributed to Olddog here on HD. The design was taken from a commercial still design and scaled down for the home distiller...
A representation on paper is all that has been done here in a hope that it leads to an aid in building the still...
Full credit must go to the designs author and other builders on HD who keep tweaking this design to its boundary's...
Thanks guy's..

This will print out fine on smaller printers also... But for best results, put it out to a large format printer. Scale (1:1)...
EDIT: The dimensions are in metric only... Decided this after I realised that there were to many variations in the fittings globally...

These are templates that can be printed on label paper and applied to your plate for a drill pattern. There are different styles for the plate of your choice.

Heres my easy to make Pot Still Plan... I made the drawing before I built it, I've just annotated the plan for the beginners out there...

This works like a charm and could be modified quite easily to add a thumper, ect;

Think I built it for about $60... Not bad considering the whiskey I've taken from it...

The plan is in full A1 format ready to be printed.... Drawing last updated for text/dimensions correction on Jan - 22 - 2012

Heres my current VM/Bok combo setup from another thread centering rings inside the column..

I take 1.8L per hour @ +96% abv @ 20°C from my parrot...
If I take +2L per hour, the abv is still +90% and the neutral/vodka is very very clean...
