3D Printed Cooler

[Addict Rc]

Found this model and finally got the 3d printer to work right came out decent but it’s leaned (can't really tell in the photo) if anyone has any recommendations on what to print for the crawlers please let me know

I meant to get you some links last night and went to bed with a headache.

I've printed most of these and they printed well in Overture PLA plus/pro.

Wheel nut covers and wheels I'm currently running are from this guy. He has some good files.

Traction boards I'm using. If I remember right they were a little flimsy so when I sliced them I scaled the thickness up 10% and it worked perfect.

I've never got around to painting it but this printed really well at a .1 layer and 30mms. Coleman stove

Bed rack, not wild about the square "tubing" but it has held up really well. Also the Textured panel I put under it. I think the headache rack looked bad so I used the low crossbar instead.

I printed these screen/mirror assemblies for the side windows but never installed them. They printed really well

Hadn't seen this Jet Ski and trailer before. May have to give it a go.

@Addict Rc - Check your belt tension. You can see in the vertical ribs of the cooler, your printer is not handling the changes in direction as well as it should, which is also causing your layer lines that you see in the print.

What speed did you print that at? Printing at higher speeds can also cause these issues, even on printers with proper belt tension.

Warning - if you tighten your belts too much, they will break mid-print. You want them to sound a little like a low guitar string when you "strum" them, but you don't want to go too tight.

Forgot my favorite TRX4 part. It's part of what is inspiring me to do an interior in the TRX4 Sport Camper. I love the way it looks when I'm taking a low video and I nose off something and as the tail comes up I see the tank under it.

It's like an ocd coming on. Add one thing, then next thing you know it has you.

Truck looks great.

I think I’m going to have to print one of those

Cooler looks good!

Thanks I think I’m going to paint it to look like a real Coleman

That'll do it. Try printing one at 40mm/sec and see what you think. I used to print everything at 60. But I have lately been running between 30-40. It makes for much nicer prints. I only use 60 when I don't much care how it looks.

Anything with detail I usually run 30-40 unless it's just a test print for fitment or something. The little hubs I print I run at 30mms at a .1 layer and they turn out pretty well.

Truck looks great.

I have a bunch of little accessory parts I've printed sitting in a bin waiting for paint. Just keep getting sidetracked by stuff that actually makes the truck driveable lol.

This is the type of shot that always makes me glad I put it on. Need to paint that battery tray when I paint up my last revision on the rear bumper. I keep putting it off because I keep forgetting to order leds for it. I split the reverse lights into a two part lens that will have the larger reverse light like the current one then a 4mm round brake light added to it.

 

[WickedFog]

For really small stuff, I run 25-30mm/sec. The bigger stuff with large sweeping curves I'll run at 50mm/sec. If a print has sharp corners, small changes in direction, I'll run at a max 40mm/sec. This was printed at 45mm/sec...

Painted it and printed a Jerry can but I put it on the side next time I’m printing it vertically

Both

I "organized" a bunch of my files and now can't find a few lol.

I have a really good file for Gerry cans that printed very well. I did print it upright, 20% infill, with tree supports. I was looking for it on Thingi but couldn't find the specific file again. If I come across it I will send it to you.

 

[Doom!]

I can't believe you didn't print a Yeti cooler, that would be the only size I could afford one! The Coleman looks good!

I printed a similar jerry can. You should be able to print that vertical, with no supports.

I was going to but clicked the wrong file once I get some more white fulfillment I'm printing a yeti

Yes probably it was originally vertical but I turned it horizontally I’ll try printing it at 35mm/s vertical

 

[FJC_GUY]

This is the Gerry can file was looking for. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/off-road-crawler-accessories

It's a pack. I've printed the chainsaw, Gerry can, traction board, wheel chock and mount, farm jack and the crate. All printed very well.

Can I see some pictures of them printed next to the crawler please and thanks for the file
Printed a propane tank (will print in white when I get it)

Use light coats of Rustoleumgloss white. Shoot it at a little cooler temp than normal and let it dry slowly and it will fill in some of the layer lines.

These guys were shot in Rusto gloss red, no prep other than cleaning up a couple of strings. I also like to print in a different color and paint it because I like how it weathers.

Nice work!
