Yet another 3d print thread

Post by aconsola »

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:

and a Shock clamp for Losi Shocks

I have been working on a losi front bulkhead, but that is proving to be quite difficult so far.

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.

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 .
