Jiml0001 Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 My wife bought me the greatest birthday gift, a 3D resin printer. I have never had more fun modeling. I have been digging up print files all over the web, all of them free. I have been tying to print extra detail items, wheels, and especially engines. The first engine I tried was a Curtis airplane engine It was my first printed engine That was fun so then I jumped in and tried a Toyota 4 cylinder. This engine is complete with pistons, valve train, everything: My next challenge was to build an engine for an Aril Atom style track car. decided on a Caterham 4 cylinder. These pics show the engine as well as the raw print right out of the printer. I did it in 1/24 so it was pretty small.
Oldcarfan27 Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Too cool! Someday I hope to get a 3d printer. Any idea how much the resin refills are?
MeatMan Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 The real fun comes in when you start designing your own stuff. The side pods, block, heads, swing arm, and gas tank I designed and printed on my FDM printer.
Jiml0001 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 Yeah MeatMan, I agree. See my bellytanker I'm building in the Land Speed Racer section. That is going to be completely self designed and printed except for the wires
Jiml0001 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 I am using Phrozon Sonic Mini, which seems to be perfect for what I need, inexpensive. I don't know how good these pictures show it, but these radiators printed with every fin and tube, you can see through it and these are in 1/24 scale
Bills72sj Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Cool stuff, Have you run across any files of a Pro Mod blower and scoop or even a whole engine?
