Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

[Dadio]

Started modelling the Mugen Bulldog , all four suspension corners are the same parts so it's a bit like cheating.
The balljoint sockets are a little tight with FDM home printing and will need a little more clearance, may not be needed for pro print shops , the rest is good to go .

Nice work. The Mucgen Mercury arms are slightly more complex... I need to get back to it, by the way: now that the Marui gearset is done, it is really time for it

[Dadio]

More Mugen Bulldog , transmission housing done .

For the Eagle eyed this one has a few minor additions to optimise it for FDM printing.

It's difficult to see when you can't compare with the original part, my friend

There are several paired posts that come out of the top and bottom of the transmission casing , I just added a web between them and extended it to bed level (only 1mm) , I also put a 45 degree chamfer on some overhangs

I suspected that, but as I don't know the Mugen Bulldog, I wasn't sure

I just found that I can fit the PB Mini Mustang chassis on the P1P print bed in one piece

[Dadio]

Mini Mustang chassis in CF PETG , going to work on a diff that uses Hotshot bevel gears as parts are very scarce now for the Mustang

Thanks , been working on the diff , looks possible .

Well, the Big Bear ran with bevel gears printed in plain nylon in my Bambu Lab X1C for quite a while without a single issue... So yes, it should be possible (and I did not used a 0.2 mm nozzle for that).

I'm planning on using the metal diff gears and outdrivres from the Hot Shot and just printing the toothed pulley and bearing adapters .

[Dadio]

Hot Shot diff gears in a mini Mustang compatible diff , will need axles to match the more common dog bone size of the Hot Shot , uses 5x10 bearings and an adapter to fit the 13mm hole for the stock Mini Mustang bearing .

Just received an engineering plate and some PA6 CF from Bambu Lab yesterday , dried the filament for 20 hours and my first print has started

[Dadio]

PA6 CF prints so well , printed some Mini Mustang arms and once I pressed in the ball studs they are free and smooth , often when you print a ball joint you have to hone them a bit , very impressed with the dimensional accuracy .

These arms and hubs are modified to use HotShot dog bones and axles to make a set to complement the Hotshot diff components .
