How to make a tire mold?
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Fat Brian's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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 -

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 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You do 100% come off as an elitist, but Nano DLP is outdated and not that great.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. -

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. -

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? -

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. -

It is printed, I am not sure if I am going to continue doing bodies as they just aren't good enough for me. -

Offenhauser Engine for 3D print
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Oldmopars's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
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. -

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. -

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. -
