Bilingham Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 I'm having difficulty posting. Sorry about the double post of picture. At any rate, this is the weird, couch like seat use in the P70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hello Bill, Great to see you posting !!! This looks to be a great project from your bench. Loved your Aston Martin and of course my favorite was your latest Birdcage!! Randy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Hi Bill, With all the 3D printed bodies you have done, have you experienced any warpage? Thanks, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Absolutely fantastic results Bill! I knew 3D technology could produce amazing things, but this is next level, your mastery behind the computer is what impresses me the most. It's a renewed hope for this hobby and one that could give it a second life, the potential is infinite and you demonstrate it to us brilliantly! 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Incredible build Bill! Designer of this vehicle Peter Brock has this model in 1:12 scale in his BRE showroom, and I too have wanted for a long time to build it in 1:24 scale. I have the aforementioned Tamiya slot car body (inaccurately labeled as a King Cobra by the manufacturer), along with a Tamiya slot car body of the Detomaso Sport 5000. I am still looking for the Nethercutt Mirage. BTW, if you haven't already checked it out, there is a wonderful book on these cars: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Randy Randy, I've done this enough times to have developed strategies to avoid warpage while still having a 1mm thick body. The P70 has been largely free of warps.

Bilingham Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Here is a trial of the windshield. I really love the size and shape. The fit seems fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilingham Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 I've been experimenting with a new 3D printer the as very high resolution. The printer, an Anycubic M5s Pro, has a pixel density of 1412 pixels per square inch. My old printer, a mono X has a ppi of only 508. There are lots of controversy of the value of more pixels, with folks saying that the individual pixels are only about .02mm in size, smaller than a human hair, just too small to be seen. Well my testing shows that more pixels do matter. Take a look at these 1/24 scale Weber carbs. These were done with the high res printer and they are phenomenal. Dame near perfect. Read the Weber type! These make my past webers, used on some of my best models look crude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCo66 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Awesome detail on those Weber carbs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted Wednesday at 12:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:29 PM Fantastic work you've done! Your conversion from sketch to product is incredible. I agree with your comment on the pixels. I just upgraded to a Elegoo Mars 9K and the detail is excellent, as well as the reduced depth of print lines. Well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbarlow1 Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM This is truly exceptional and inspiring work. Look forward to continuing to follow along, and to learning more about the frontiers of 3d printing tech in the hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmojr Posted Wednesday at 02:37 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:37 PM Awesome modeling skills. I've tried CAD like apps (purchased MOI3D as Rhino and Fusion360 were a tad expensive) but find them daunting so I still using sub-D modeling in Blender 3D and Silo3D. This is beautiful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
