  1. 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
  2. Yes and no depends on who's doing it and the material is still somewhat brittle and I think mine are better than molds
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. You do 100% come off as an elitist, but Nano DLP is outdated and not that great.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°.
  6. 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.
  7. You know this was on my list and with a little help from my FE I think it's a good idea.
  8. I think the best possible scenario would be to send me the bed, preferably primered first, have me scan it and send those scans to Scott, if he wants to do it.
  9. I thought he meant that box on the side, I was like how did he get that from the box. I looked like 5 times before I finally found that. Oh brother.
  10. I don't have a SBF yet, excluding the Coyote which I don't see that as an option or even worth considering. But this would be a good thing to put on a Windsor when that happens.
  11. Well either Scott will make you one or he will have me produce them. Not sure the demand on these so if it's a one off he may do it. I do have a question though, how are you planning to couple this to an engine?
  12. They look very similar to the ones I made for my Hemi didn't know if I shared them with you. Perhaps I should offer a set of zoomies for this.
  13. I meant where did you get those, I have a set of zoomies I made as well
  14. You're definitely printing that differently than I am, but I am mass printing them which makes me have to make a few compromises. What headers are those?
  15. So here it is done with properly printed carbs.
  16. I am not sure what to say here, but okay.
  17. New Ardun finally done with this one. Also noteworthy if you look closely the belts are slightly a different color, I have a new mix I run just for belts that makes them much more durable.
  18. Transfer case is done and they are available at Rockwell T138 Transfer Case. I will be at $10 for a four pack in 1:25 or 1:24 haven't thought about bigger or smaller scales yet. So far I have 16 1:24's ready.
  19. It is printed, I am not sure if I am going to continue doing bodies as they just aren't good enough for me.
  20. Pictures of it printed and you can see the auto in the parts picture.
  21. Oh snap you just laid down the knowledge but I Do have the Auto transmission from my Flathead that seems to fit very well infact just perfect. Don't ask me what trans I used because I forget. But it's an option. Also sorry for the lack of/late responses but I was paddling a river today.
  22. Well I just did 4 Offys in 1:43 scale, guy was real chill about them not being perfect but I would've keep trying if he didn't stop me. So now I have a whole new level of frustration.
  23. They are good dogs, the younger one just tends to be more reserved and protective of the house. But you have to admit that momma dog was very sweet.
  24. I was just poking fun at the comment, it all good.
  25. 1:24 will be $25 shipped in the US should be available either tomorrow or Sunday, I have to run a second test print, but the first one was pretty close to perfect.
