3D Printing reality
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Oldmopars's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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. -
3D Printing reality

You do 100% come off as an elitist, but Nano DLP is outdated and not that great.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

I meant where did you get those, I have a set of zoomies I made as well -

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. -

Offenhauser Engine for 3D print
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Oldmopars's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
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. -
Little late to the party, but I do my engines in 1:12. I am reluctant to do my wheels in that size due to the difficulty in doing rubber printed tires in that size.

I am hijacking this thread, everyone stay calm and we will reach out destination. Okay all joking aside I have been working with Scott with some tricks and suggestions and this is where the OFFY stands now, please ignore the janky picture but it's what I had to deal with at the time.
