  1. Very impressive.
  2. Welcome back Charlie. Sorry to hear of the troubles over the past two years.
  3. Sorry, you miss understood me. I don't do cad files for others. Anything I do have was created because I needed them for my projects and are available to anyone who wishes one. Currently there are two A block Plymouth dual quad 318's in other people's hands. The engine in my avatar is the 50's Dodge baby hemi that is correct and scaled to 1/25th. It's for future projects as a correct on does not exist.
  4. I don't have the CAD? Herein lies the problem. No file, no print. This technology is ever evolving. The items on my Facebook page are 2 yrs old. What I can produce currently is even better. Shapeways does not keep up with the technology as it would be cost prohibitive. People need to understand that when they purchase from Shapeways, they are not getting the latest and greatest technology and product. My idea of the best solution is to offer a service that has the files for purchase, not just printed.
  5. Nick, you don't need to stay away from 3d printed parts. Just stay away from sources that don't use the latest technology and print materials. I can print this part and you wouldn't have to touch it other than to paint it.
  6. It's a Beach Boys song. It's got more than one error. The Beach Boys were not car guys. The long ram did not come in the 62 Dodge Dart. It didn't fit. Read this on the Ramchargers 62 Dart that had the long ram intake installed. I saw this car personally in January of 63 at the Sunoco garage on north Woodward Ave just south of Teds. My buddy and I were cruising Woodward in his dad's Galexie 500 with a 406 tri-power, 4 speed and posi. We decided to take a look. He popped the hood and we had a good long look. http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990327521141.cgi?itemid=9990440435271&action=viewad&categoryid=9920367363431
  7. No. Use the small intake. The long ram manifold didn't fit under the hood. That's why a group of Chrysler engineers that belonged to a club called the Ramchargers developed the small manifold
  8. Next come the 2 new arrivals. The Transform which uses a 4k 13.5 lcd and interchangeable dual 5.5 lcds. It is just starting to ship. Last is the newly released for pre-order 4k Shuffle. The first resin printer to use a 4k instead of 2k 5.5" lcd panel. The xy axis improves from 47um to 31um. https://www.phrozen3dp.com/products/shuffle4k
  9. The Prusa is way over priced at $1599 for a built, ready to use machine and doesn't print any better or possibly as well as printers costing as much as half it's price. It's on special as the m.s.r.p. is $1699. As a comparison, look what Phrozen, a leader in 3d resin printer technology has to offer. Here is a review. The 3.5 star rating is due to the reviewer lack of keeping up with Phrozen's response to users needs. https://all3dp.com/1/phrozen-shuffle-review-3d-printer-specs/ The first is the Shuffle. It was introduced in early summer of last year. Then in September of last year, the Shuffle XL was available. I pre-ordered mine the first week of September and received one of the first ones delivered on September 19. It uses a 7.9" le https://ultimate3dprintingstore.com/products/phrozen-shuffle-xl-lcd-3d-printer?variant=12616809087079
  10. Sounds like a plan, Ray. Good luck. You certainly have the printer, skill and ability to make it happen,
  11. Creating a 3d printable file and printing it out would be a breeze. The problem with 3d printed resin is that it is very brittle and can have small parts break off easily. That problem has been address. By mixing 80% Monocure rapid gray and 20% Monocure rapid flex resin, the part become less brittle and easier to work with. I just printed this 1935 LaSalle coupe frame Monday using this Monocure mix. The frame is 177 mm long. Note how thin the resin will print.
  12. It may not be a resin but a tinted rtv silicon. I do know that I can 3d print hollow tires with a flex uv resin that is bendable.
  13. Thanks Bill. 3d printing has made great progress since I sent you those parts. You did a fantastic job turning them into an amazing example. Since the time of your post, 3d printing and and post printing possess has improved greatly. What I print today is way better than what you received. I plan on sending you the latest prints in the future so that you can have the best current possible parts for your future project.
  14. 2012 I built my Prussa I3 printer. Started following open source resin printers in 2011.
  15. I can do one of mine for you. It comes with either the dual quad manifold of the single quad shown below. I also have the hemi based poly that goes with the Dodge baby hemi in my avatar.
  16. 73 is not the oldest. I'm 74 and know that I'm not the eldest.
  17. I own both of these kits and they don't have any clear plastic.
  18. Which poly head engine are you looking for? The A block or the hemi based.
  19. The supports are needed to ensure the correctness of the print. Without them, there would only be a glob of cured resin in the vat. It's slanted that much because the print wouldn't have fit on the build platform. Ideally, you want to use as few supports as possible. To sum up. The supports are removed and discarded.
  20. He did't print it.
  21. If you want to know about desktop 3d printing and printers, ask someone who's been there, done that. Here are my current printers that I have purchased over the last 4 months. I built my first printer in 2013. Downloaded Blender, an excellent software and started the process. December 26, 2014 saw a post I made on this forum using a uv resin curing dlp printer that I made. November 2017, I bought my first led lcd printer. A Wanhoo D7 that cost me $620. The large one below came this last September and was $1275. The smaller one came last week and was $799. Through all these years and these printers, I had made posts on this forum showing what could be done with them. The Dodge 1954-55 241-270 hemin in my avatar is one of my current projects. Larger Stl. file pictures are below.
  22. Great idea. Just what I needed for mirrors, door handles, etc. Now I need to take that bad inner tube off my bike.
