Yet another 3d print thread
Earlier this year I took the plunge and ordered a 3D printer. Only after ordering did I see the informative thread by Tamiyadan making me question my order, however I received and built a Prusa MK3 and got to work learning how to print. I spent a lot of time frustrated gettin it calibrated and dialed in, but now have the hang of it.
I found tons of great parts files on thingiverse, but not everything I wanted so I set out to learn a bit about modeling software and watched the Titans of CNC videos that were mentioned I think in GoMachV's thread.
Today I uploaded my first 2 files to thingiverse.
A remix of a brace/body mount for the rear of the Tamiya Lunchbox: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2975016
and a Shock clamp for Losi Shocks
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2975049 I have been working on a losi front bulkhead, but that is proving to be quite difficult so far.

Boom!
Nice work!It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: Yet another 3d print thread
I have been working on some wheels. Both Vintage size 2.1/2.0 and 2.2 for modern rubber. I did not copy the original wheel design, though I did copy all the dimensions and used my favorite Sees directional wheels for the face.

I have a set printed up in red abs that are going onto the jrx-pro of mini-me for some 12 year old basher durability testing.

Re: Yet another 3d print thread
Great info! Thanks.
I considered breakaway/throw-away parts of the model to cut down the giant latticework of supports, have to figure out a good size and position.
I am not a huge fan of the abs, it doens't seem to print as well as pla or petg even with an enclosure, but it's all I had left that wasn't plain black or grey. I have some orange pet-g on the way, next set will be done with that.
I tried some other parts in nylon-bridge. Warp-city. need to play with it more to get decent prints. So many directions to go in learning the different modelling and printing techniques, only so much time though .
