UV cured resin

I have been 3d resin printing since December 26, 2014. On that day, I posted that print on this forum titled "3d printed LS engine block." On my desk is a glass jar that contains some 35 LaSalle front suspension parts I printed in early 2015. They look the same as I printed them in early 2015. Nothing I have printed over the years show any deterioration and appear as they did when printed.

Exactly, but the intake manifold could have been made to fit better. It does look like a nice engine.

This is what I use. Follow this tutorial for mixing amounts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQmB6yvOJeE. This is my 64 cutlass. Follow this video for an excellent, inexpensive cleaner.

Yes and no. It is a visible layer on a smooth surface. If you were to take a fingernail and scrape over it, you would not feel anything but smoothness. If this was printed with a more transparent resin, you would see lots of layers. The printer prints in layers. Take a look at the trunk deck and fenders which have a much greater slant then the cowling. Do you see layers? Just because you can see a layer doesn't mean the surface isn't smooth. A person would have to be into 3d printing and actually do it and understand it to know how it works.

MSLA desk top 3d printers prints don"t have lines. There is no need for smoothing. These pic's were taken under a bright desk top light and are exactly as they were when taken off the printer.

I did the same thing. $75 cheaper.

I have these 2 airbrushes. The NEO has a pistol grip. The GSI doesn't. The NEO is .3 and the GSI Creos Mr. Airbrush Procon Boy PS-290 0.5mm Pistol Trigger Type is .5.

Yes they are. Chitubox is used on many 3d resin printers. This was a test print of the frame for the 55 Dodge. All of the supports were generated by the software. Usually I will make adjustment to them, but didn't because it was a test.

It was Prusa who came up with printing on a slant way back circa 2013. He discovered that slant printing gives the best detailed print. By printing at 90 degrees, you are subjecting you car to support contacts on its front. You want to avoid that. Slant the car like this. As you can see, the frame is too large. A slanted print will give much better detail. This slant is at 22 degrees. Notice how I leave a small edge at the ends. Then add supports.

David, I've been into the d.i.y 3 printing since mid 2011 and when Prussa came out with the I 3 design that year, I built one and proceeded to teach myself cad drawing with Blender. Prussa was a well recognized contributor in the early days. The I 3 is an open source design and available for anyone to build and use. Sometime during 2011, a Spanish guy built the first d.y.i. dlp resin cured printer. The detail was amazing, but it never caught on. Fdm and msla printers came from the d.y.i. open source community. In 2015 a dlp d.i.y resin printer was designed by Tristen Budel(sp) and posted for all to use and improve on. They became the main printer of use. I built mine in late 2015. In 2016, msla became the printer of focus in the d.y.i community. That became a Wonhoo D7 commercial printer, followed by Phrozen and others.

The file has errors. This is a problem with files found on the net. A must have program to find and possibly fix files like this is Netfabb Basic. It was discontinued a few years ago, but is still available for download here: http://julesgilson.com/index.php/2017/05/08/download-the-old-netfabb-basic-free/. This screen will appear when you open it. Check the box as I did and click on "Later" after the count down. Now that you've gotten the 3d printing bug, you might consider moving to the next level and purchase an msla resin printer. You can read up on the different types of printers here: https://all3dp.com/1/types-of-3d-printers-3d-printing-technology/. I have 4 different msla printers. There all made by Phrozen which is based in Taiwan. Their second to latest release was this one: https://www.phrozen3dp.com/products/phrozen-sonic-mini-4k-61-lcd-3d-printer. They released it for order August 15th and their not done shipping all the orders yet. It should be available be on Amazon as early as December. Their Facebook pages are : Phrozen 3D Printer Group and Phrozen Sonic and Sonic Mini Group. I paid $329 and change for mine and it included 4 day shopping from Taiwan.

You can alter Hum 3D files any way you choose. They aren't 3d printable as they are one face, or one layer thick. They also are made of many cad files for parts. This file of their 40 LaSalle is an example and is not fully broken down. I have altered their 57 DeSoto and 55 Dodge to create the following prints. I haven't cleaned up all the support nubs yet as these are test prints. Also be aware that some of the Hum 3D files are not accurate. The 55 Dodge is a good example. This is the file before correction. And after. I ended up having to correct much more than. this. I also changed it from a 4 door Coronet to a Custom Royal Lancer convertible. I myself, wouldn't do what you are considering. Too much money to create a model on an fdm 3d printer.

PS. Of course it has the proper engine and frame

If the promo is a 54, I can't help you except provide the correct engine. If it's a 55, it's an entirely different story. I am currently working on correcting a very screwed up cad file from Hum 3d. It is a challenge, to say the least. This is where I'm currently at.

The 54 Dodge did not have a poly head engine based on the hemi engine. They didn't start until 55. If the poly engine you remarked is mine, which I'm assuming it is. it's an A block introduced in 56 for the P lymouth. The Ala Kart engine is another screw up. It's totally out of scale. Therefor, I created the correct hemi engine based on the real engine, which is in my avatar.

In order to build this stock, you'll need an A block poly engine. I have them. Message me for further info is interested.

The people I grew up with, as I was adopted, were older couple in there mid 40's in this time frame. They didn't hate swing music, as didn't any of my friends parents. All were content with the change and rock and roll music. Times were so different then. I'm going to give you and whoever reads this, an education on the period in question. I'm going to reveal my up bring which will reveal how it was in the period and times, The small city I grew up in was established in 1925 and the developer followed the guidelines for successful development from the then American Real Estate Association. Their guidelines said that in order to preserve real estate values on sales, those to persons of Mediterranean descent or of other than Caucasian should not be alloyed. In order to purchase in Dearborn Mi. Mayor Orville Hubbard of Dearborn practiced much the same philosophy. It wasn't just in Michigan. It was nationwide. In order to purchase property in the city i grew up in, Louise Lathrup Kelly had to approve you. There was a very social economic gap that extended to those in power. People with this mentality were running the governmental agencies in control in this time period. This old school philosophy threatened many in control at the time in question.

I really doubt the source had any bearing on the resistance of older people to rock and roll. If you know anything about human nature, there are always those opposed to a eradicable change. It was a drastic generational change. Rock and roll was the integration of of Blues and country music. This was not acceptable to many older Americans of the white origin. Performance, or more con temporarily termed, concert goers exerted an amount of zeal totally out of control to many. It was seen as a threat to some in political power to a world they knew. You really had to be there during this time to understand.

Such a huge influence on rock n roll. Such a huge innovator of rock n roll! I read a story about the origins of Tutti Frutti over the weekend. His original lyrics were a little more...provocative. Heck, modern music would get censored if they tried it, so for him to try that in the 50s? Pretty daring stuff! kindly give the source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutti_Frutti_(song)

Another one of my 3d projects I've got going on. In this post, I'll give you an example of how I go about creating a 3d print. I have plans for a 55 & 56 Dodge plus 55 Plymouth. The 55 Dodge is on the drawing board as I got a file from Hum 3d. Problem is, it needs some major correcting. A poly head version is also planed. I got lucky and found an engine on a stand at my local salvage yard 3 miles from my house. It was right next to the front door of the office. Went back a few days later with a tape measure, pen and paper. I found this drawing on the net. I had also found this on the net for all 55 engines. It shows dimensions and stats for all 55 engines. Notice how much smaller the Dodge hemi is than the Chrysler. The small dimensions for the Dodge are the ploy head version.

No, I wasn't exposed to R & B at this time. The only Detroit artists I knew of were Jack Scott and of course Jackie Wilson. I just learned that Barry Gordy, founder of Motown records, co-wrote three of Jackie's hits- Reet petite, Lonely tear drops and To be loved. I did check out Nolan Strong and the Diablos just now. Great Doo Wop.

It wasn't so much the record execs selling Pat Boone as it was parts of this country where record resellers wouldn't sell or buyers refused to purchase records made by colored performers. I was 11 in January of 56. In the Detroit area where I grew up, there was no problem finding records of these performers. You would, however find it sold out and you couldn't find a copy. In 58 after a Chuck Berry performance turned into a riot, Boston's mayor, followed by other Northeastern states, banned Rock and Roll as an evil influence on youth. Below is a Youtube vide of the top 10 Rock and Roll Pioneers and there influence on the industry. Little Richard is number 3.

So, time to move on. I wasn't happy with the white body I worked with to get the end product I wanted. The red resin just gives so much greater, crisp detail and good end results that I reprinted it yesterday. Keep in mind that it takes 8:45 hours to print. Add to that the time needed to set the print up on the software, set up the printer, and finally the post processing and curing. It's a full waking day project. scrolling up this post will give you in-site of the of the off the printer condition and the cad files. The fenders were created circa 2014-2015. In the infancy of my cad files creations. I am, after all, self taught. The following photos will show you what I did to correct the deficiencies of my files. Much simpler than to take the time to upgrade the files An easy swipe over with a nail fail and most of the problems goes away.
