Large Scale Buick Nailhead ?
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Yeah I think that was a bad idea, the flathead that is, the Nailhead is significantly bigger than the Flathead. -

Added the 1:10 scale options to both of my Nailheads -

It was more of a joke I never thought anybody would actually inquire about it -

And this is the inherent problem with answering these questions yes yes indeed that is another engine on the list but again lots and lots of engines to do and these requests could continue on forever one of those things there's hundreds and hundreds of desirable engines out there I know most of them I am a car guy after all with all this takes time and as it stands right now kind of unable to do what I really want to do the reason I moved if anybody really wants to help me out I have a house in Dallas Metro that really needs to be bought -

Most of my engines are already available in 1/10 scale -

Probably eventually I will do a Cadillac V8 but I'm kind of still stuck with two mortgages so money is a little tight so I can't go out and buy an engine there's also some other engines I know I'm going to do before that one -

Well he wont find my files that I can promise you, these are not Cult3D files, but 1:10 scale is something that I do offer, I am not sure why this engine doesn't have that option but there was a time where I was thinking about cutting it out. -

Knock your S.O.H.C. off
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Mike 1017's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
not everyone, does that, but to get down to the honest answer its about money. I can say that its very profitable at 1:25/24 easier to make in bulk and cheaper to ship than any other scale out there. The demand is greater and the profit margins are much greater. -

It really wouldn't be that hard to do in real life, flip the pulley bracket make yourself some ugly triangle shaped adapter to go on top of the lower manifold. Sheet metal and some welding will do and then suppose you would have to have a custom belt made but really aren't they all custom in this industry and I mean the real thing not scale models -

3D Printing Storefront Directory
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Oh I agree they are much better now especially if you run them at low layer height settings for the layer lines but your nozzle is still even on the best of days you're running up 1 mm nozzle You don't have the XY accuracy Like I said they have their uses I have a nice printer it is very reliable It's not that old It's a core XY machine It's got all the bells and whistles including a heated chamber I can print carbon fiber infuse ABS pet g nylon has a diamond nozzle in it but PLA still is not temperature resistant and it's nowhere near the quality of even a 5-year-old resin printer
