Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...

There is an amount of adjustment in the locking of the centre differential, similar to a slipper clutch. The different output gear sizes in the main gear means if the nut is loose you get 2/3 of the torque to the rear wheels under power, with 1/3 to the front wheels. This will give you more steering...

Not sure if this helps. Very hard to photograph and get that line. Mine is the World Engines version (Academy)

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...

Boki is close to me, a couple hours drive, and can do it non destructively however it's not a body he would usually take on with other more popular bodies ahead of it in line. If I could prove it would be a value for him, I'd be happy to try. I'm not sure why tbg claims the body is destroyed, I susp...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

I recently bought some Polypropylene (PP) filament , the type of plastic used for Tuperware food storage containers . Reason being I was pretty sure it's what was used for PB Mini Mustang suspension components , I'm even more sure now . I'd seen a few YouTube tutorials on printing with it and althou...

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...

I'm not sure why tbg claims the body is destroyed, I suspect he has a container full of the bodies that have been backpoured that are perfectly fine still :lol: The technology of the time when Bluegroove started meant that to get the best finish and sizing you backpoured resin straight into the bod...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

20240104_184451.jpg There is a quick down and dirty solution though , most regular sticky tape is PP so you just tape up the bed and print on the tape , now I tried this but I used a smooth PEI bed plate that may have been the problem as the filament stuck very well to the tape but the tape peeled ...

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...

Back when I was as school I did try making a mould and there is more to it even if you use plaster , we tried to do a Ford RS200 body and what we didn't expect was that the weight of the plaster bowed out the sides of the body and distorted it so you need to put a support frame around the outside as...

Re: Graupner/Mugen Mercury CAD model...

TBG had that problem with a TOJ body I sent them. When I got the repop from them, it looked like a balloon. Of course they couldnt do anything because the original was destroyed, so I sent them my 2nd and last new TOJ and they were able to successfully backpour it.

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

I'm so impressed with this PP filament , I've been doing some destructive testing on a couple of parts , firstly the first warped print I've been repeatedly bending it double then the other way , I've managed to mangle it but I can't break it :shock: then i though what about the suspension pin holes...

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

Just printed this Mini Mustang bumper mount in PP , entirely printed on support material , I thought it would be a thorough test of how hard it would be to remove the support material , I was pleasantly surprised , while it's not the easiest it was not as bad as I expected and the print surface afte...
