Ok you computer guys. I don't per say use any anti virus software to counter any virus or or any other malware getting on my os. I do have a program that will scan my drive and report of any possible threats in a file. I check the file every so often and remove anything I feel may harm my computer. Am I in trouble? Should I be doing something more?

When I look for a file to use all or part for a 3d printing project,I check to see if the whole is a sum of it's parts. This is how our models are made. Here's an example using a 1937 Buick blender file. The whole: The parts: This enables me to assemble the parts into what I need to print and make a model. Usually the designer will specify whether or not the file was created this way. If you are going to make a model of it to sell, you need to create parts to assemble. Otherwise, It's not a model. The more parts, the higher the cost to produce. If you make it in a scale that there are already some parts for, you eliminate costs. Then there is the demand for you model. The larger it is and the fewer available parts, the lower the demand.

Exactly right Bill. Tom's post is flawed in that he states that the 3d files need to be created by professionals. As 3d printing has grown, so has the numbers of self taught 3d cad file creators. It's not some kind of rocket science. It's simply a computer program that is used to create the file through a series of key stroke manipulations. It's taking the time to learn the one's you need. You don't need to lean the whole cad program to create simple parts. There is so much help provided to those who want to use Blender, that you can find how to do a function in a matter of minutes. There are You Tube videos that teach you how to set up background images and what keys stokes are needed create 3d car files. There's even a Blender for dummies book free on line. And speaking of free, Blender is free, plus it is one of the cad programs mentioned by SafeWay. As 3d printers advance and come down in price, more people will become involved. Desktop 3d scanners are making advancement as well. Yes, you still need to know how to repair a scan to print it, but that's not rocket science either.

The pineapple I posted above was printed on a Solus desktop 3d printer that also printed this figure. It is a DLP machine that uses a dlp projector to cure uv resin into a finished product. This is the same technology I use to create my prints. Yes, the technology to print in such fine setting that the detail is superb and lines disappear is here. Expensive? Not really. And, there are many more machines that will give you a decent result at prices down to 1k. If you are going to do any amount of printing, purchasing may be a good move. Check out their website and look at the gallery of 3d prints this machine produced. I can give you many more examples of dlp and sla machines costing thousands less than Shapeway machines and, in some cases, a better print. http://www.junction3d.com/

Aw, come on Bill. You know you just can't print small objects with any kind of detail on a desktop 3d printer. And there are lines everywhere.

Yes, you can make models in any scale using 3d printing, but I caution anyone wanting to do this at home. Review my 35 La Salle post for valuable info on the right style of printer and see first hand the difference in the right and wrong way to apply this technology. This post was made to inform and educate individuals through my experiences.

Personally, I don't believe that the introduction of another cheap 3d printer of this type technology is growth. This is what I consider growth. I'll explain the importance in the development of the faster speed. The following frame took me 13 hrs total of print time to produce. Add to that set up time, clean up time, cad time to make one frame into 3 parts. The gas tank took 4+ hours. With the technology of the NewPro printer your looking at a print time of less than 1 hr, plus the fact that you would be able to print with tighter layer and x-y specks to greatly improve the quality of the print. Also, the frame could be made with one print. The other consideration is the saving of time the dlp projector is in use, thus extending the amount of time before the bulb needs to be replaced. Bulbs run into the $100's.

I was wondering the same thing. It was helpful.

I'm confused. I own no less than 3 55 Pontiac promo's. The grill is one piece, not two.

As to the 3d printer, forget it. It is the wrong technology and won't give you anything you can use without extensive fixing up and positively nothing small or detailed. That's not taking into consideration that you need a printable file.

Carl, check this out and it may shed some light on your question. http://www.allpar.com/history/christine.html

The heads and valve covers for the hemi version poly have already been done. If you go back to Bill G's post in this thread and follow the referenced thread, you will see them. The A engine had very little similarity to the hemi based version. reference: http://www.allpar.com/mopar/a-engines.html. The A was exclusive to the 56, 57 and 58 Plymouth. The Hemi version was used in the other Chrysler lines. The A heads and manifold will not interchange with hemi heads and manifold.

Yes John, but as usual, the topic changed to what some were interested in.

Yes John, the 350 B engine was available, but I am under the understanding that these people are interested in a 318 poly head A engine.

Yes Charlie, I am. If you have watched any of my posts over the past year and a half, you know I have the capabilities right here in my hobby room and can produce and end product of good quality. I have great reference pictures to make the job easier. The heads stl. are about 70-80% ready to print. For those unaware of my work with my home 3d printer, here is my 35 Lasalle trans & bell housing that is 1-25th scale. The file to print it was drawn by me at home and printed at home on the 3d printer I built. When done, there will be a complete engine with separate spark plugs, 3 different manifold options and more.

There is nothing to closely resemble the Plymouth A engine. A person would have to start from scratch to build one as near to correct as they possibly could. Something as simple as the fact that the 56, 57, & 58 valve covers had three bolts holding them down and Chrysler went to two in 59 through 66. I am creating what I feel is correct for the three bolt valve covered engine because I have a need for one. Here is my stl. file of the block. 8822222

Most of mine were mentioned in the above posts. Ones I would add are: Peter O'tool Peter Sellers Gene Wilder Tommy Lee Jones Wesley Snipes Sylvester Stallon Mel Gibson Dustin Hoffman

That's alright mama was written and originally recorded by blues singer Arthur Crudup. Here's the Wiki web page to explain it's origin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That's_All_Right. That being said, mama was used in blues music and early r&r as reference to a girlfriend. Little Richard's True Fine Mama is a good example. "Mama she done told me, Papa done told me too, Son, that gal your foolin with, She ain't no good for you, But, that's alright, that's alright, That's alright now mama, anyway you do" references both the mother and girlfriend. Google the lyrics. The last stanza should make it plain to you.

I remember seeing that article and if memory serves me right, it was done by Bob Downie, aka zoom zoom on this forum.

With the development and advancement in desktop high detailed 3d printing, the creation of an A engine is only a few days work part time. Since I have a need for an A block engine for my 56 Modelhause Plymouth vert, I will be creating one over the next few months. I will make a limited number available to others, as I only need one. There will be an option of a 2, 4 and dual quad carb manifolds.

If I'm reading your post correctly, your looking for a site similar to this: http://www.blendswap.com/. Blender is one of the best software's to create 3d printable files and is free.

If you decide to do your own Bill, I have the heads and valve covers I drew up and printed out about 10 months ago. These are for the hemi engine that was the earlier poly version where the hemi heads where switched to the poly. The scallops on these valve covers can easily be changed to the a engine ones. The Aussie engine appears to be a modified 58 Plymouth kit engine. I chipped the lip when I removed the printing supports. I also have spark plugs that can be used. They fit perfectly to the hemi and 58 Plymouth kit engines.

Come on. Your old enough to know it was Larry Vern with Custer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0nHWAoIfxo
