NYLIBUD Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I've ordered a few pro mod bodies from Shapeways.They are great looking cars.But they require a ton of prep work.Sanding,filler,etc.I tried to reach Ron one time,but I never received a response.All I know,is that 3D printing is the future,or the present,lol,of model building.This is a 66 Nova pro mod I bought a few months ago.

RAT-T Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'VE SOAKED ALL MY FROSTED DETAIL PARTS FROM SHAPEWAYS IN THE PURPLE CLEANER YOU CAN GET AT WALLMART, OR DAWN DISHWASHER WORKS WELL. FINALLY SOAK MINE IN ALCOHOL, THEY SHOULD WHITEN UP AFTER THIS. I ALSO HAVE HAD BETTER LUCK PRIMING SMALL PARTS USING AN AIRBRUSH I BELIEVE RON IS A MEMBER ON THIS FORUM, HE IS ALSO ON FACEBOOK AS 3D MODEL SPECIALTIES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronic Designs Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Got parts coming from Ron myself, I asked him about the cleaning and he said that he had already soaked them in alcohol to clean them. But I will do a re soak after dry fitting everything before priming. Henry is correct Ron does a very good job and has been very helpful.

NYLIBUD Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'm confused,are Shapeways,TDR,and Ron Olson,all the same company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronic Designs Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 No Shapeways does the 3d printing, Ron and TDR (Tim) Submit the scaled designs for the printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAT-T Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 RON ALSO HAS HIS OWN PRINTERS, THE LATEST IS A SLA PRINTER THAT PRINTS DETAIL PARTS BETTER, BUT IF YOU GET SOME OF RONS PARTS FROM SHAPEWAYS, THEY MIGHT NEED MORE CLEANING THAN THE ONES YOU GET DIRECTLY FROM HIM.

Kronic Designs Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I truly agree with Tom the detail of the parts that Ron prints on his printers is very detailed, Ron does a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah,gotcha,thanks for clearing that up.Ive just been buying straight from Shapeways,but maybe I'll start ordering through Ron himself. Thanks for the info.

rolsen Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Lou, not sure why you can't join the facebook group. Please try again. I also had to run off communication from the Shapeways store, as I was getting MANY emails every day asking to create custom parts for folks, which I don't have time to do anymore.

Nitrobarry Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I`m about to order some 1/16th 19" dragster front tires. They look great in the photos and not that expensive. Also thinking about the 1/16th blown 392 Chrysler (rather expensive but very well done)! I`d really like to see same scale rear tires ( M&H Racemaster or Goodyear "Blue Steak" ). Working on a mid - 60`s top fuel car. Tires would help a lot! Is there anybody else who makes the tires in 3D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich vit Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ron, I am having some very bad dealings with Shapeways. I ordered a 1/18 scale Model No 7197324 Brodix 572 and received a 1/8 scale Model No 7216761 Brodix 572. I have asked to return the incorrect item and receive the correct engine. They have told me it's your problem and I should contact you and keep the incorrect engine. Can you help me here? Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
