With the DST changes last week, the days are getting slightly longer, and the weather starts to be good enough to consider paintjobs. I had a lot of those to tackle, and that start by the Ninja... https://i.imgur.com/PuhbQt3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bV5VMMw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BjixR80.jpg https:/...

Had to add the driver figure, otherwise it would be missing, and a car running without a driver is not an option in my case... I painted it last night, and added the finishing touch this morning... And it joined the car when ready :-) https://i.imgur.com/LW1HE9c.jpg https://i.imgur.com/W9uqqPF.jpg h...

I ran the Samurai this afternoon for about 10 minutes... The tires grips and the behavior of the car is just normal... Full throttle, braking, turning, everything is as normal tires... dk-0mQ2mNKs The tires still look good after the 10 minutes run... https://i.imgur.com/C9NVOok.jpg Conclusion : 3D P...

The last print was finished yesterday... https://i.imgur.com/t21uy9C.jpg I did a mistake when doing the slicing, and the result is that my red marking is not really visible, because behind a white layer (I should have done slightly differently - I'll know for next time) : I had to use a red permanen...

Hello! During one of the last year vintage events, one guy looked at my cars and he was clearly impressed by the work on the Spirit FF... We had lot of discussions since as he was in one of the clubs I was going for running my cars... One day, he told me : "Marc I have some rare cars you may mo...

Spent almost the day reorganizing space, and did not move on any of my RC projects... This morning, I moved the Ender 5 Plus to the enclosure, and it allowed me to free some space under my desk to store car boxes... https://i.imgur.com/P21cqc1.jpg I'm pretty happy, as there is now additional room to...

I launched a print of Hunter rear tire this morning, with a target shore of 55A. The resin is a different one that the one I used for the Samurai and Ninja tires... First it has less odor, and it seems more fluid... We'll see if it prints correctly in a few hours, finger cross... In the meantime, I'...

And the first print of tire with the second resin candidate is done...


Need to post process it next... Still a lot of work to do, and 3 other tires to print for the Hunter...

Post processing was done. First a bath of IPA Alcoohol (not a fresh one), then remove the supports, then another bath with clean IPA; the two baths with agitation. Nex was drying with air compressor outside, inside, outside again... Then I let it dry alone for 30 minutes again... I only had an issue...

Second and third print attempts with the same file failed... I may have been very lucky with the first one, as both failed in the same area... https://i.imgur.com/krYDUkn.jpg I used a 50s exposure to quickly removed the polymerized resin from the VAT and be able to launch a new print right away... N...

That's bad luck Mark , the first one looks great and for running not shelving it's perfect , some of the cheap tires I ran in the 80s had no better finish , you could use one of the failures to try painting a light coat of resin on the outside and curing it to remove blemishes . Well... I don't tru...

Until now, the Ninja was not in situation to run... It was missing electronics... A Tamiya black Sport Tuned and an ESC arrived today... Time to scan one motor isolator, to do something in Silhouette Studio and to plot it in a cardboard made from an Amazon enveloppe... https://i.imgur.com/EZCpCG1.jp...

I'm dry on ideas side right now... Time to unfill the VAT more intelligently than last week... https://i.imgur.com/NigLXvz.jpg I'm getting better at this... I may need to find a bigger funnel and filter to make this even more efficiently (trying to do things, you get better and better every time, t...

It took about 6 months! The motor is connected, and I do not have any other car as silent as this one... Except that when I run it in the leaving room to check the trims, the dog is barking :-D https://i.imgur.com/AWvPykT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mBYfG2u.jpg I still need to paint the driver figure. I...
