AaronM Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Folks, I’m coming back into the hobby and loving the extra detail I can achieve these days just by being having access to the Internet to learn so many ideas and techniques. But what I’m really intrigued by are all the great Resin detail up parts available. My first build back has already taught me about needing some varieties of AN fittings, bolt and nut heads plus pipe-flare fittings to add brake lines to 1/12th calipers etc. Anyway the price and availability of these detail up parts is immense as everything has to come via online shopping, and not one store ever seems to have stock of the range needed and a fair postage cost. So I would like to 3d (resin) print them. Are there any STL or CAD files that people are using for these or should I just start drawing up my own?
MeatMan Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 I haven't seen any but those aren't the kinds of parts I've been looking for, as I do 1/24 and 1/25. I do think that designing your own in 1/12 shouldn't be that difficult. I did this PVVC conduit clamp just by measuring and basic cad drawing. I've also done a few simple model parts but just starting out.
AaronM Posted July 20, 2021 Author Posted July 20, 2021 Hose and wire clamps will be a thing I also need to think about. I’m in the 1/12 and probably 1/20 & 1/24 scales and looking at the specs of my resin printer I can definitely have it print the things I want in the sizes needed. Learning the software, and fine tuning the accuracy of design versus ease of use/print is probably my biggest concerns. Hence looking to see if people are sharing these sorts of things (I don’t even mind buying a half decent set of designs)
Jiml0001 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I'm building a bellytanker completely from 3d printed parts. I have drawings for AN fittings, nuts and bots, batteries, pedal sets, distributor, disc brakes, etc. What are you needing?
