Extended Semi Frame Rails
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Texas_3D_Customs's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
So 380 mm is about as long as I can print I can't justify buying a printer just to make these rails unless you want to order about $1,500 worth of them -

I completely put this in the wrong place I meant to put this in the resin printed section I apologize someone wants to delete this thread I understand this is not where it goes but 11mm tall 3.5mm wide -
So Scott worked these up in CAD and I am printing them. Not the hardest design or print to be honest, well the print is kinda easy now that I spent like a week trying to remember how to print in Filament, either way they are available in 320mm and 335mm lengths on my website at https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/extended-semi-frame-rails

This is the version I will be listing it is two pieces the filter and the scoop are two separate pieces and while I know the filter is not properly shaped and you'll understand when you see the pictures of the parts it makes it fit all together well -

So there are a couple issues there One that's extremely thin which extremely thin and resin prints usually means extremely hard to make without falling apart The other problem is there's an air filter inside there and people notoriously love to complain at me about the air filters inside my scoop for my 572 so you try to print an air filter that you can insert into the scoop or make the scoop where just kind of sits on top on a very thin ledge on the carburetor but the air filter can still fit through It's not really ideal making things in sheet metal for a car is a lot different than 3D printing. Now I could probably make something that resembles that that was two pieces but I'm not going to sell it with an engine If I do it it'll be a separate item and generally speaking separate items It's kind of a lose lose situation either I charge a lot to kind of make up for making these little fiddly parts for one off orders or I spent a lot of time making something that gets me no profit and I know it's not all about profit but this is not my side hustle that's just for fun anymore. That is one of the bad things about quitting my job and doing this as my income now. -
what is the best way to remove....
Texas_3D_Customs replied to oldr-n-drt's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Best way to remove supports is directly after washing it removing supports before the cure process will keep them a little more pliable so if you remove them just after washing a break off nice and clean -

So was going through my FE engine doing a favor for someone and I realized I never fully completed my Blown Setup, I mean it was close really close, so I finished it off and am printing a small batch of both variants now. Transmission is selectable I am talking about the hats more than anything on the variation. -

Reliable Suppliers
Texas_3D_Customs replied to Joe Lange's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I disagree with casting takes longer, it's just different. You can cast a mold with 50 carbs in it in minutes, printing takes hours per batch, but you have to make molds for casting, but printing requires screen time to make the models, the time spent modeling makes a big difference in the outcome. I am not against casting so don't take it that way, it's just different. -
