Texas 3D Customs
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Erik Smith's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
So thanks to Scott's hard work I did a little touch up modeling and ended up with this. Should list it tomorrow. SBF -

I have, but Scott is handling pretty much all of the modeling now as I can barely keep up with printing. -

I hope they meet your expectations but I still think they are some of the best printed engines available and some of the more unique offerings. -
How to make a tire mold?
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Fat Brian's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
A completely different option would be to have a mold 3D printed then pour and go. The only issue there is you need a 3D model of a tire, or scan a physical tire, I am probably going to scan the tires from my 1:1 car for this purpose -

Depends on what your printing in, I can say that printing in rubber resin is a bunch of not fun and expensive about 3X the cost of regular resin, but it makes really nice tires, more detailed than cast IMHO -

Texas_3D_Customs replied to Oldmopars's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes and no depends on who's doing it and the material is still somewhat brittle and I think mine are better than molds -

I don't know which body you are referring to there's like 4 but there's an Electra a Caprice a custom jDM and a Ponton oh and a slowmaro funny car -

I think that's one of the things that makes this work so well, I hate designing I love printing and have a lot of time at home being I only work 2½ miles from home. -

You do 100% come off as an elitist, but Nano DLP is outdated and not that great. With all the hate on Chitubox I still say it's a fine product if you're willing to pay to play, yes basic is horrible but pro is not. As far as mainland china electronics being garbage I am a red blooded American served in the US Navy and am patriotic but the chitu infrastructure is very good. But hey what do I know. Oh and 15-20° is probably only marginally better than printing flat on the plate. It's all about suction force, and ideally you want as little surface area on a given layer as possible especially in one area, when you get to the roof lots of it will be exposed at once at 20°. -

So I will disagree, I have 9 resin printers 4 Mars 3 3 Saturns 1 Saturn S and a Phrozen Mega 8K. So with that out of the way, they all work and behave similarly, yes the phrozen is better built as a machine from aesthetic properties, but mechanically more or less the same minus the immense build plate on the mega. I can and have printed very thin bodies and I have printed my engines at 1.1mm wall thickness, but at that thickness warpage becomes an issue. IMHO it's about settings and what resin you use. There's a big difference in printability of say Anycubic, Elegoo, Opto... Resin and the better stuff like Phrozen, Loctite l, Siraya, yes I think Siraya is a better resin. Get the exposure and supports right and you can print paper thin objects, of course durability becomes an issue but it will print. -

You know this was on my list and with a little help from my FE I think it's a good idea.
