  1. Yep this is happening
  2. Printing that integument fold wouldn't be a problem designing it that's a whole different story and I have Mickey Thompson valve covers well I do the Mopar performance version which is more or less the same different script on it I don't know and I'm not going to make a different valve cover for the 413 The only difference I can see is the notch in the outside front or rear I don't know what side to call it because they're symmetrical
  3. Well being a 440 and a 413 is nothing but bore and at that scale no point. As far as the cross ram I am not sure. But I did scan this cross ram intake
  4. I know that it works for the Revell that's what I scanned to make it and I know I've seen it used on a Tamiya, and if I recall correctly I think I saw someone do it to a hasegawa
  5. How do you wear out a printer I'm just curious I've been running my original Saturn since January of 2021 still using them, and I think I've replaced one screen on one of them and that was my fault I think I dropped something on it
  6. I have one here in Lewisville Texas which is close to me every time I go and I'm not happy with any of the models they have
  7. If anyone has an smp kit, I have a scanner, I am sure that I can work something out with somebody who wants to print bodies and sell them
  8. So I'm on a trip I'm in the Louisville Kentucky area because I just stand and it will be coming in Mopar 440 three different intakes a 727 and an 833 transmission. Today will be day two of scanning and going to his uncle's house who has all sorts of mopar stuff and it looks like I'm going to get a long ram intake some carburetors a tripower for the Ford FE and some other stuff I still don't know things are coming.
  9. well looking at the engine, you couldn't have used it as the carbs are on backwards, the throttle bar would be embedded in the fan shroud. I may go and modify that and make it where it can only go on the right way. Something like a shaped peg like a triangle that only works one way. That is not my design so its a little harder to accomplish, but not impossible. I also have always planned on making my own VW air cooled engine that is more accurate but keep getting stuck on doing other things that expand my offerings not replace things I already have.
  10. Some how I completely missed this thread, I am thoroughly impressed, but I see that I left a little support material on one of those tires, I try to get them all off, but its pretty easyish to remove. I also see you didn't use the throttle bar connecting the two carbs, may I ask why?
  11. Its all good, you just used Icemans name and my site thats all. And I am the one with the baja kits, thats all trying to avoid confusion. I was not offended at all.
  12. https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-fe-cobra-427?_pos=1&_sid=c156793dd&_ss=r Been available for a while now
  13. I am not joel and he is Iceman Collections
  14. I bet you hate me now that I have an actual day cab, but you are very brave and talented to get those doors off
  15. So something I am working on, and about done, I will be releasing this and a triple 4BBL version probably tomorrow and a quad turbo at a later time. Because who doesn't wish Ford made a V12 Cammer
  16. I busted my rear the last few days trying to get everything out. I even got an order this morning that I fulfilled, now if it's ready and made which a lot of things are in 1:24 and some in 1:18 I will try to pack it before I leave, now if 10 people order today, unlikely, there's no way I have a lot to do to get ready but I will try. But I have no way to make anything anymore All my printers are drained all my alcohol is drained out of my washing machines The air conditioner's been turned way up there's just no way to make anything. Fortunately I can control mine air conditioners remotely so I will turn them on the day before I get home and depending on what's in my queue I should be able to get back up and running and about a couple hours after getting home the next day because when I get home in the middle of the night ain't nothing going to happen but sleep.
  17. Now I thought this was just a post about people supplying this wheel now I understand how I misinterpreted the first few post and I pulled my pictures down that was bad on me and I apologize I was legitimately confused about what this post was. I read the first post it didn't really have a link to someone's site or page it was just like hey what if someone made these I posted without reading everything and that's on me but still look man I was just stating a fact the first time You definitely rub me the wrong way and I responded I wasn't even going to put mine here I have my own thread and I did listen there but you when I try to offer some insight got a little snarky You can say that you weren't but you were but I tell you what go on with this I pulled anything referencing anything I make up from there and like I said I apologize that was bad on me. As far as you being snarky or not towards me I was legitimately just trying to point out something about wheels and I made the same mistake when I first started making them undersized because you know logically a 15-in wheels 15 in but it's not in fact I went out and measured my wheels on my Mustang which are 20s and they're about 22 in on the flange face I started doing a little more research and you know it is what it is I was just trying to offer some insight.
  18. Yes I have many many tires and different styles but you'd have to visit my site to understand So if you buy like a 15x8 tire there are several options for 15x8 they're separate items gives you the ability to make just about any combination you could ever want everything is sold in pairs so I can the 15-in line there's scat tracks BF Goodrich TAs torque twisters drag radials slicks off-road tires and a few others and then street tires I have quite a few options So basically buy a set of wheels and whatever combination you want and then you buy the corresponding size tires but everything's standardized everything's printed rubber for the tires too So think of it like a tire shop go buy a set of wheels and then you pick different tires that fit them
  19. So I am off to colorado Saturday all orders as of now have been shipped but I have been very busy in the wheel department. Lots of new wheels and tires listed including these four today. All orders that are made while I am gone will be filled first in first out unless they are big orders but will fill them as soon as the parts are available. The password to my site is Colorado2023, but understand I will be out until August 7th.
  20. I stand corrected I see now how it all worked out and I just didn't understand what was going on My bad.
  21. I quoted the whole post no need to get cranky just trying to put perspective on it. But normally I dont even make posts helping out competition.
  22. 17mm is not overscalled by realism. 17mm in 1:24 scale is 16" a 15" wheel is 15" OD on the barrel you need to add in 1-2" for the flange a lot of people overlook that. 15.6mm is ~15" 1:24/25, 17mm is more correctly scaled for how a wheel actually looks from the street.
  23. Well I am not going for speed, in my mind if what they say is true then on my Mega 8K it should help with suction forces regardless of what resin you are using, now I will say it may or may not help with that, its quieter and seems to release easier, but there definitely is a texture that wasn't there before. Now I did an identical print on two Elegoo Saturns using rubber resin. I printed the hardest tire I have that shows layer lines, the release did appear to be better but not as good as they say. There definitely is a difference in visual appearance though and its very obvious. On the rubber tires its not necessarily a bad thing but its there. I also am not the only one who has noticed check this youtube video
  24. So you have ACF film and didn't notice a texture on the prints? The texture I noticed is very obvious with rubber resin and mildly noticable with abs like resin. I am not the only one who has mentioned this either. I got my ACF from chitusystems where did you get yours?
  25. If anyone wants to paint and build the engine for him for thanks with the help let me know.
