	  Empi-Style Dual Carb for VW Bug?Texas_3D_Customs replied to Calb56's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed I will be making that same engine that Iceman makes, just a little over loaded at the time, I will be designing a stinger exhaust next year to use on the non turbo flat 4's both the Porsche and VW variants.

	  Texas 3D CustomsTexas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed Plug boots yes loom clips probably not, it's not a lazy thing it's more of a some won't want it some will, and I am not making a million combinations, not only that but I have no idea what size wire people will be using.

	  Texas 3D CustomsTexas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed Side note, I am probably going full time next year, I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the rear, but as I seem to be doing better, I think that with more time and possibly a lot more product I can support my family off this. Now there may need to be some sacrifices to be made, but I really enjoy doing this, not so much my new job. Perhaps this is for the better in the end as there's more to life than money.

	If any of you do download it and need accurate measurements for an actual Coyote LMK, I know I have mine scaled properly and his models are close to 1:10 scale but not quite accurate. I can get measurements off my car which is how I made mine correct. I will say this is by far the best low cost Coyote model available, but if you have modeling experience you could fix the few errors in the details.

	  Texas 3D CustomsTexas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed Thank you, but after seeing the pics I realized I left a bit of supports on the intake for the Zephyr. As a side note, there's a technique to reducing/eliminating the visible stepping, I do use some of those techniques, but for obvious reasons I am holding my methods secret.
- 
	I wouldn't use blender I would use Fusion or another CAD program. Setting up constraints based on actual data points would make a much more accurate and precise model, plus if you find an issue later on and have design capture on you change a previous measurement and it updates the whole design.
- 
	So that's a lot easier said than done, it would get very chassis specific and I would almost guarantee I would get lots of returns or things like hey I need this at X mm not what you have. It happens so much already and the stuff I make is pretty universal. And if I did this the brakes would not be included as it would be made to be compatible with my wheel system and you could just buy the brakes of your choice, and really wouldn't matter if you used my wheels or not
- 
	Oh yes indeed I didn't realize we were talking about that

	  Texas 3D CustomsTexas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed It's all good I was just confused my payout is approximately the same either way, just in eBay more of the money goes to the state and eBay. I will say the advantage of eBay is the protection you get from them. You still have PayPal and Credit Card buyer protection on my website, but eBay will usually side with the customer reguadless of the circumstances. I am generally pretty forgiving and will always make things right in either platform. I even had a guy buy off my site list a part contacted me 6 months later I still sent him a new one free of charge.
- 
	His designs are very good, but I think my 572 albeit I don't have that intake is more detailed and more accurate.
- 
	I could mate the Mendeola Transaxle I make for the GM line to fit the Modular bolt pattern, I just didn't think it was a desired combo.

	  Issue 216Texas_3D_Customs replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions I was in 215 not a full review of everything I make but it was a good review/article
- 
	I think you have your numbers backwards as 1:24 should be larger, now my 5.0's are referenced to my actual Coyote in my mudstain, but those numbers sound about right.
- 
	Would be better to buy on my website tx3dcustoms.com better prices no tax outside of Texas
- 
	I use some of his models, but they are not quite right, I spend quite a bit of time fixing them, now it might print fine as is but good enough is not good enough for me. My Coyote comes with a TR6060 as a T56 seems inappropriate, I am also working on the ZF autobox for it, the Ford tranny is just a ZF 6/8hp with a larger input shaft.

	  Texas 3D CustomsTexas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed Why would you want to go through eBay? The price is higher and there's no sales tax on my website except for Texans. I mean it will go to eBay eventually all engines do, but $27.50+tax on eBay $25 flat on my website, I am confused.
- 
	You won't see the layer lines especially if you primer first but even that's not needed, but as far as criticism I am fair game to suggestions and critiques. There's a caveat here while I always listen I don't always go with what someone thinks is a good idea, because what seems like a good idea isn't always a good idea in reality. But I do always take it into consideration.

	Did you model tires for them? If not Perhaps we can collaborate on tires I can make for them
