I was very pleasantly surprised by the print quality... All the more so as, it just relied on the lidar flow calibration... And even seams are really difficult to see... But wahat is really amazing is the material texture...

My friend Johann from Down Under, sent me some pictures today about what he is trying to do... And he precise there is still some work on the graphics, and it is just a V1 as here is still some pixellisation here and there on the graphics... https://i.imgur.com/kZ1QVbA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/f6lvNK...

I added the stickers on the roll cage and wing, and we have the Galaxy RS complete! https://imgur.com/gnKPb25.jpg For the Galaxy, there is more work to do, as it has some very distinctive features - red parts, done - silver rims, done - Marui 360 RS (which I still need to model) - still to work out ...

This car is awaiting in its box, and it's new... SG Gemini SLX 1/12 https://i.imgur.com/ERare0M.jpg Lexan chassis, ball differeential 1981/1982 https://i.imgur.com/7S8nodg.jpg There is a single page manual... https://i.imgur.com/X3zV80O.jpg And I started by doing a CAD model of the chassis... (rende...

Never new that there were 2 versions of the chassis...great info!.. I currently have a Big Bear in restoration that just wouldn't hold 6 cells in line....so i am assuming it's a V1....my 1st ever R/C was a Big Bear in 86'....but I can't remember if it ran 6 volts, 7.2 volts or if I cut the chassis ...

After my previous post, I shift focus on the rear components... Nothing really complex here, I tore it down, took measures and CAD it part by part, includingthe diff balls... https://i.imgur.com/ZA2wItF.png And here is the section analysis view... https://i.imgur.com/ql46D9z.png Next will be finish ...

I completed the chassis... It's simple and the clear polycarbonate give it a nice touch of class...




Next, I need to model the Shkee DB-1 bodyshell...

I did a simplified bodyshell based on the Shkee DB-1 bodyshell I have in hands right now... It's missing some details, but the target is not here to make a mold, as this bodyshell is available (mine fome from Delta plastic and I found it on ebay). https://i.imgur.com/P0aQEhz.png A first rendering is...

My laptop worked last night. Around 2 hours per rendering... https://imgur.com/5BM9YdA.png https://imgur.com/rtEzOAD.png https://imgur.com/HFNmtOf.jpg I did not made more renderings... I need to think about what next for this car. I'd like to build it, but the chassis is NIBBD (New In Box But Damage...

Marui Hunter is on the program this week-end... I did proceed yesterday evenning with some test prints to validate the chassis... While modeling the Galaxy, I identified where was the 1.5mm issue I was suspicious about. I did a cut of the front area, added a marker for the bodymount position and a 1...

The Motor cap is done...


As expected, it should require a bit of rework on the lateral body cut


Tomorrow, the focus will move to the roll cage and bodyshell for the prototype...

I made some test prints of the motor cover. I wanted to be sure it can be mounted on a car with the motor in... I printed the parts for exhaust and airboxes in white so we can clearly see a color separation for the tests... https://i.imgur.com/YbngEot.jpeg Then the motor cover and the rest of the re...

So many things you can do with a 3D printer.... I won't post any picture here. I remember when I bought my first printer. Some of my friends or colleagues were telling me "but why?" I had a vision, and it is quite simple: you can see a 3D printer is the future. First it is a meta tool : a ...

A very nice Big Bear arrived today... https://i.imgur.com/NkSAts4.jpeg Even though it doesn't have proper tires, its state is great. I'm not even sure it has ever been run... The rims are with the car, as well as 3 tires, but they are not really in good state... https://i.imgur.com/36Z7FyK.jpeg Not ...
