Most of the interior was 3d printed, outside the exhaust was 3d printed the front lip was old school modified

Maybe you could do the HD parts some were asking for. Hood and lower grill.
no way i hate the things IRL, last thing im gonna do is help make scale versions

Scanning this truck end to end and modifying the parts into custom pieces and putting them up on my content site

This sweet Kyosho Fazer with a 57 body. It's pretty quick stock with a 2S battery but I want a 50+mph monster so new wheels, tires and electronics

First build in some years, wanted something different. I saw some pictures of kei vans with American van front ends so i went for it on my build. I kept it as a amateur job or someones home brew attempt at the conversion that isnt quite halfway through. This project was the first time i actually 3d scanned the body to scale the grill, make the new front bumper, and rear window fillers. the interior is 100% stock with orange accents. The paint is Mr Color high silver with Mr color clear orange, Windows were done with 2 coats of tamiya smoke. The wheels were supposed to be 4 spoke chevy rally wheels but that felt off to me so i went with some one off fan style wheels with orange wall tires to give it a "look". Pretty much every build going forward will end up in front of the scanner before anything else is done.

Wheels are done so are the tires they look good but decided to add more meat to the sidewall so I'm reprinting them
-
Interior is done. the 1:1 is spartan inside so I decided to avoid the multiple speaker sound system I had planned
-
Smoked the windows by scuffing them with 6000 grit then airbrushing tamiya smoke
-
Garage was freezing and wife doesnt want me getting sick so as long as im using tamiya and not painting a whole car i can paint in the house.
-
Granted a rare privilege of painting inside the house because its too cold in the garage
-
Was able to paint something before the temperature cools

Finally got a decent temp range in the garage so I decided to paint. Didn't want a cliche Playboy color so I went for Candy Orange.

I love it. Tell me more about the scanner, the software and how you go from A to B. I am very interested.
Thanks, It's kinda hard to work with and you do need a decently fast gaming laptop to operate it. Eventually I'll do a YouTube video on it

I'm not even that lucky it seems. The wargaming group are very helpful as it turns out, a couple of them are on the same island so I might get them to visit and see if they can see whats wrong. It has to be some setting for the printer and annoyingly its probably just one number causing it. I've sorta offered a bribe to them by saying once i am more consistent that I'm happy to do printing for them if they have the files they want printed so hopefully that works out.
Have you talked to MCS? Maybe he has a idea or a different model

I'm having problems again. I've been trying to print some drag suspension parts from mcsdesign that are quite delicate. Some of the parts are under 1mm in diameter so I used the 1mm light supports on a raft as the medium supports are larger than the parts. I thought this would be the way to go but the supports are falling off the raft. I've tried printing them with the medium supports and they print fine but the supports being wider than the part seems to be causing them to print warped. I've tried changing the angle the parts print at but it seems to make no difference. this is some of the parts I'm trying to print and most are pretty similar in sizes

I've also noticed the resin seems to be seperating while the printer is is in use which hasn't happened before even when using mixed resins. Quite often ther is a clear layer on top of the print plate after about an hour. The bottle of resin used when this happens is a fresh bottle so is it a bad batch?
Slow your printer way down for thin parts also reduce you exposure times. your resin is bad i suggest you contact the manufacturer

What problems did you have cutting the chassis? Others may learn from it, thanks.
None, treat it like resin go slow and wear a mask
-
Finished the floorboard but ran out of resin. Originally I was supposed to cut the interior tub floor to mate to the floorboard but changed plans and cut the print instead and caused a whole load of problems after that. That aside I learned that Wesleys Bleeche white cleans the residue after curing better than alcohol does without as much waste all I did was spray it, let it sit a second, then hit it with a soft brush and rinse it off.

First big print, scanned the chassis and separated the frame and floorboard into two separate parts, floorboard still printing. Only difference really is the narrowed rear arches for deeper dish wheels.

If im drawing it from nothing its drawing it from scratch, nobody in their right mind is gonna sit there and scratch build 4 wheels like this.
