Chas SCR Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Been working on a new project and hope every one enjoys this build. First here is some peaks into the ACR V10 that is a mock up mule motor, it's ran at .080mm at 185% feed rate with ABS material. This was to cut down the run time for the mock up so far to just a little over 12hrs. There is still a few tweeks to work on some of the parts but other then the front cover every thing is more of a go right now. The front cover was design off the revell kit and it lacks detail so I'm working on a full new cover and the T56 trans next week. Hope you like what you see so far.

LaughingIndian Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nice! What are you running it on? Does the ABS clean up easier than resin or styrene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas SCR Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thank you for the kind words Darren as this was done at a very high speed and I was just wanting to get some thing mocked up to start the frame work is all. The main motor will be fully detailed and done in .080mm and ran about 85% feed rate as with the older motherboards that are two years old it seems to like a lot better. Mike this was done using ABS Industerial matearl solid white as it's for me. For clean up I have a shelf of .003mm on each edge that needs sanded off but that is more from the speed that im running the machine at. This is a Solidoodle Gen 3 with a few custom things they did for me two years ago. I'm getting a new machine next month that will be fully updated with all new stuff that can run at .060 at 150mm per a sec and use specialty material. I hope that I answered you on what you need to know as for resin and styrene the clean up is min and it does not soke up any paint, this is ready to paint on finish and clear. For gluing use CA or 5min epoxy like it was a model kit and it holds a lot stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas SCR Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Here is the new front cover, since this photo was taken it has been updated one more time as a longer oil connecter and water neck put in. Plus the one side has been stretched out a little to make more room forother brackets. The first mock up motor and then the new mock up motor with the right size heads, valve covers with script, oil pan with detail, Bell housing with T56 adapter plate and new front cover. Still was done in .080 185% feed rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
