  1. Ace, Mike, David, all good points. Now, I'm going to give you my thoughts on what could possibly happen. As far as Joseph goes, as far as I'm aware, he has 2 printers. One Phrozen Shffle that has all the qualities that the Photon lack and a Maoi laser printer. Laser printers are slower than dlp printer. He also is located just west of Pensacola and was right in the center of that last hurricane that came up the gulf. There are people who have upwards of 20 printers going at one time. I posted photos of my Delehaye project in the on the workbench section. If you didn't see it, check it out. Note the detail. I used the newly released Phrozen XL. It has a build plate area of 190 mm x 120 mm. Prozen has just announced and is taking pre-orders on the release of a printer with a 4k, 13.9 '' lcd. What's next? Phrozen printers are solid, well built printers designed to stand up to use. Add to this the fact that a flexible resin has been created and can be added to regular resin in any percent to create flexibility and decrease brittleness. Image a printer or two in a place like a locate hobby shop.
  2. https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=45736.0 Read the 3rd from the bottom post by Chris333. This is the reality of this printer. Absolute bottom of the barrel. There cheap because they use cheap parts. The z axis is poor. The led is of such low intensity that it causes print time to almost double in some cases. The lcd panel is a consumable. It deteriorates over usage time. Life expectancy is less than 800 hours. You might think this is a long time until you see how long it takes to print one of these parts. Guess who gets to replace it, as in remove the old and install the new. It uses a single led for it's light source instead of an array. If you look at the light from a flash light, it's strong in the center and fades out from that point. That means that the 120 mm by 68 mm is dissipated by as mush as half. If you purchase one of these printers, use it as a learning tool and than buy a decent one.
  3. I have been waiting for a new good 3d resin printer to be made and released for sale for almost a year. It finally happened and I purchased mine on pre-release and received it in late September. I just printed this. This is just a preliminary print. I am going to make some improvements. As of now, this project is back on the bench.
  4. Yes, Joseph creates his own cad files, 3d prints and casts them. The resin printers have taken a giant leap over the past 2 years. My current in the works cad files include: 1954-55 scale correct Dodge hemi which I will also create the proper poly heads for an engine to use in the 55 Plymouth that is in the beginning cad file stages. A 1935 LaSalle coupe that will be a compete 100+ pc project that is 60% done. A correct 1935 Delehaye f & f 135 roadster that's also in the cad stage and has the correct back deck, rear fender and fin that Pico missed. A 1938 Buick 4dr sedan that I found on the net and has the complete body the only needs slight mods.
  5. This is what I use.
  6. Pm received. I'll mail it out within the next couple of days.
  7. I do. This is a real glue bomb I'll never use. The steering wheel is on the dash. It's white, so it's hard to see.
  8. Nope, but I'm on a Linux box.
  9. I'm not paying $12 a set for hard resin wide white walls when I can print out soft resin Coker Firestone's with the Firestone name on the white wall for a mere fraction of that cost. Here's the Coker Firestone I want and yes, I've already done a trial print of a generic tire and the white wall insert.
  10. I've been using Ubuntu Linux since 2010. The few Windows programs I have to use are run on Virtualbox inside Ubuntu. Don't need virus protection software and such.
  11. I use Ghostery. Blocks trackers as well as ads.
  12. I came across this pdf link while searching for info needed to create a proper 55 Dodge Red Ram hemi. Note the difference in the length and width of a 331 Chrysler vs a 270 Dodge. The Red Ram in the AMT 29 roadster kit is at or near the length of the AMT 57 392 Chrysler. The DeSoto hemi in the AMT 53 Ford flip nose pickup is even worse. All other manufacturer engines are also included. http://www.wilcap.com/HRT56 V8 small.pdf
  13. Welcome Randy. It's great to see someone near my age and living within twenty miles of me.
  14. Will this help. Be sure to open all the pictures. http://www.2040-cars.com/Ford/Model-A/1930-ford-model-a-phaeton-touring-convertible-632741/
  15. Daytona show transporter. Anybody know about any Daytona show?
  16. I grew up in the n.w. suburbs of Detroit. Every year on the 4th of July there were hydroplane races on the Detroit river. Miss Budweiser was around back then. The spray that comes from the back of the boat is called a rooster tail.
  17. Henrix cast the 58 Ford in both hardtop and convertible. His castings are well done.
  18. I don't really view this as a discussion. It's more of a pet peeve of some. Anyone who was around in 69 and is old enough to understand the market for models at the time and the popularity of "flower power". Just google "69 flower power cars" and check out the many Chrysler products that year that had flowered interiors and roof.
  19. I have rear kits, but this is my favorite. I started it last week.
  20. These may help you some. https://www.allpar.com/mopar/a-engines.html https://www.allpar.com/mopar/poly.html http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/dodge-c5.htm A block poly engines first appeared in 1956. The distributor is is mounted behind the intake and to the right of the cam. The oil filter was on the rear left side.
  21. Flip and modify the manifold by removing the radiator goose neck. B block on left, A block on right.
  22. I imagine your going to use I-95. All the above mentioned are west of there.
  23. This is supposed to be a Chrysler B block engine. It was the first v-8 wedge Chrysler made and was not available until the 1958 Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto models used it. The 58 Plymouth was the 350 model. Dodge and DeSoto used the 361. Plymouth used the 361 in 59. This engine you built here has 2 flaws. It has an A block intake manifold which puts the distributor in the back instead of the front and the oil filter should be horizontal instead of vertical. The 58 Plymouth sold by Walmart has the proper intake and is a proper representation of the B block.
  24. That's good cause I don't sell them. I cast mine from a junk Danbury Mint 55 Olds I picked up cheap a few years ago.
