on a plastic printed clutch bell ! Top marks I'll see if I can complete the parts list next weekend , had to work Saturday so not much progress this weekend , then you can get that metal clutch bell printed.

I've tried a few wood filaments , love them , real smell of wood when you print them , if you set the piece right then their layer lines look like wood grain :!: The down side is clogs and stringing , I'd recommend a 0.6mm nozzle and there's nothing you can do about stringing , on the bright side it...

https://i.imgur.com/Vf7xQXh.jpg The printed side facing up is always good. https://i.imgur.com/tzBGoRk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6KM2XlD.jpg The underside, or layer resting on the supports, is always rough. https://i.imgur.com/DhxlA3Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3T2q2Ks.jpg I'm learning a bunch on what t...

Smooth as a babies ass!

Huge relief

Typically with older machines you used an adapter to fit an SD card into a USB port , this still works for Bamboo Labs printers

... Some would even advise to do temperature tower, Flow calibration, Pressure advance calibration for each new roll of filament, even if it is same color/brand than the previous one used. Oh no, not fun. :lol: That would be the tipping point for me. For designs that require the highest strength po...

This really is the simplest way , a friends phone

looks very cool , love the SRB shocks up front .

I've rewound tiny micro helicopter brushless motors but that's kind of easier as the armature is static in BL motors , the only time a rewound a 540 it ran for about 30 seconds then the wire shifted and it ate itself in an instant , my lesson was that you have to be tight and neat with the wind , ma...

Very cool , what are the front hubs from ?

Love the clear chainbox viewing point in the rear of the body got a sort of Alitalia theme livery to it .

That picture is pretty clear it looked like the tower was further back but with the stand offs that's nice

The many added benefits of having a printer are slowly become apparent. For instance, the aluminum motor plate and mounting blocks require many precisely located screw holes so I quickly printed drill templates for these parts. transmission.jpg I simply glued the templates to the blanks and drilled...
