Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Oh so close , 13 out of 14 mountings line up perfect , the torsion bar adjuster is spot on , just one last adjustment and it's ready for a good quality print
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
I'm completely unfamiliar with the RC your building Dadio but I can appreciate the work you are doing to replicate parts for it; that's an extremely complex part.
Your doing some very advanced design engineering work and I seriously doubt that the professionals who created this car a few decades back could have imagined that someone in the distant future would be re-creating their work on a computer and printer in their home. It's really quite amazing when you stop and think about it.

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
This is a Marui Samurai , Stock box art on the left , they are one of the best looking 80's cars in my opinion but horribly fragile ! The chassis was like egg shell when new , made of very thin brittle ABS , new chassis are getting very hard to come by and its a beast of a shape to draw up in CAD

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
This is the very latest iteration of the chassis with all rolled edges and sectioned out hollow , I've kept a version that's not sectioned out and I'll offer both the solid and sectioned version on Shapeways , cost difference is negligible .

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
It's done ! by far in a way the hardest thing I've ever reverse engineered , everything lines up , it just drops right in there

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Printed and fitted the right side chassis for the Samurai and it also fitted perfectly , I've just ordered both parts myself from Shapeways , I'll let you know when they arrive.

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Got a delivery from Shapeways today , that should be good but its not , the chassis parts for the Marui Samurai is what I'd ordered but on inspection they are 1.5mm too long ! they advertise a dimensional accuracy of 0.15% but 1.5mm over on a length of 185mm is 0.81% and makes it not a nice fit if your just fitting one side , it will fit just with a mix of original and my part , if you fit both sides then its fine but its not what i wanted really , I've emailed them to see how its happened and if I need adapt my model ?
Otherwise the chassis looks nice .
I've taken the model off sale for now until its resolved

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
I had ordered some parts that were supposed to be round, spacers iirc, and they arrived oval shaped. I inquired and they pulled that accuracy card until I sent pics, then they reprinted and the next were fine.
The big issue is the inconsistency, as buyers may think it’s your work that is incorrect when it’s the print.

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: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
I just sent pictures but it's hard to prove as I can't get both ends of a ruler in one picture , I could put a note in the description and only sell in pairs but it kind of sucks after all the work I put in to get it right .

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Shapeways have agreed to reprint the chassis and I've put it back up in my shop , I've only reinstated the pair of chassis halves as that way they are going to fit , its a shame but I don't want the grief of complaints that i can't prevent

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Just got the reprinted Samurai chassis and its spot on this time , I've put it back on sale on Shapeways but only as a pair not as the right or left halves , that way no matter how much tolerance it will still fit .

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Last week I finally got started on remodeling the Yokomo Dogfighter yz-834b gearbox , it's now finished and ordered from Shapeways , if it comes back good then it's going in my shop , fingers crossed

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Very Very pleased with the Yokomo YZ-834b Dogfighter gearbox I just got back from Shapeways It's spot on , even mates with its original other halves ! Going up on my Dadio Designs Shapeways shop today .
These next two show the original gearbox mated up to the printed version
The eagle eyed will notice the odd diff and Kyosho chain sprocket as I stripped out my runner gearbox as a comparison .If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff
Beautiful Dadio, absolutely beautiful!
It's virtually indistinguishable from the original part.
Awesome work.
