While back from Montluçon, I reshuffle some boxes in the work area... And found some ball bearings allowing me to resume work on the 44B Hilux... I reopen the gearbox and replaced the rollers bushings by ball bearings... Then I started to work out the suspensions... You may note the double bearing a...

Today, some stickers arrived from Down Under, courtesy of my friend Johann (aka yogi-bear)... This is just a sample, but it's on really nice and thin material and super easy to apply, like it was on the Mitsubishi... https://i.imgur.com/DynDdT6.jpeg I applied a set on the Big Bear bodyshell, and the...

During the vintage event on Saturday, one of the local guys who looked at my Samurai and my Optimas gave me two diffs he thought to be Optima, as he thought it would be of better use with me... But I don't think they are coming from an Optima... https://i.imgur.com/umRZHsa.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/e...

That was not exactly today, but was yesterday... I went to Montluçon to a vintage event organized by the "Mini Racing du Centre" : Montluçonnaise 2024. I loaded the car on Friday morning, including a set up to allow me to sleep in... About 21 cars made the travel this time, and that's far ...

If you're not changing resins and don't have the printer near a window you don't even need to drain the vat unless you're going several months with it not in use. I know but It really depends the resin you use (not all are behaving the same on that aspect - some resins have a life once outside of t...

This morning was resin session end. I already learnt how to do better with flex resin as it is usually very long... With a standard resin, which is way more fluid, cleaning goes like a charm... 15minutes and it's done... https://i.imgur.com/TDNHqwx.jpeg And as usual, resin prints are so much better ...

After the Lynx, its 2WD brother came in today... The state is not the same, but it was really cheap, so I did not hesitate for long. This will allow me to work on both 2WD and 4WD version in CAD together...

Ok, I must confess something now... I've been totally over optimisitic this time... There was some progress, but it won't be enough to get a 44B Hilux for the week-end, and I don't want to use the other one... First, I tend more and more to rely on auto oreintation on Bambu Studio, and it seems it w...

Tomorrow is the first vintage of the season, and I'm late on my plans... Thanks, I'm off today, so that give me some possibility to do something about this... I could go with the already built 44B Hilux, but it is too nice for this. The plan was always to have a runner based on printed parts for sus...

Looks like they're wifi only, no ethernet. That's a no-go for my company, unfortunately. We had an UM3 running on wifi for a bit but they got mad about it and, of course, you couldn't set a static ip on it, so that one nobody uses because you need to bring in a usb drive. for X1C, P1Series, yes. Bu...

Bumper print as per plan... https://i.imgur.com/RiibaXK.jpeg Next was to paint them... No, I don't like super wheelies, I love them :-) https://i.imgur.com/8meP3rR.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/grV5RTg.jpeg We just have to wait for the white Toyota Land Cruiser and the Big Bear stickers, now... I'm a bit...

I never did a lot of random, just fun stuff with my Ender 3, and I think that was for two reasons. One it took too long, and two, there was a decent chance it was going to screw up and waste all that time. The Bambu is changing how I approach the fun stuff. I am now on Yeggi just looking for random...

Time for another build while the bumper parts prints are ongoing :) https://i.imgur.com/uXJPEEQ.jpeg We go full pink for this one :) https://i.imgur.com/R2VNpSj.jpeg There is going to be a lot of pink :) https://i.imgur.com/RBy5vcm.jpeg Hopefully, with this, my daughter won't say "not enough pi...

This morning, I separated the parts for the 4th Super Wheelie to reassemble... My daughter car will be a runner, and the original gearbox which came with the car was heavily damaged : I decided to go for a printed gearbox with printed gear set. That will be the second test bed... https://i.imgur.com...

As they are then Thingiverse or cults3d would be a nice thing to do , they are really so close to perfect though that I'd be tempted to try and rework them , sharpen the detail of the seat belts and buckles . Maybe cut up the model in meshmixer to just export a part of the model to cut down on the ...
