Whatcha Printing?

[Guest D]

Made this for my daughter

Tried to emulate (not duplicate) her Slash. Yes, my paint skills suck. I promise, in person, sitting on a shelf, it doesn't look nearly as bad.

Also made this for my buddy to match his YJ (phone in background to get sense of scale). His Jeep has a tan top, he just had it off for wheeling

It's a Tj. I had mine out yesterday.

Those look good. How long did they take to print?

Yes, thanks, TJ. Total mental black this morning. I knew better, but, apparently, I shouldn't post if I hadn't even finished my first up of coffee.
His son, the one responsible for my rc addiction, has a black one. I'll be printing that tonight

The Jeep took almost 3 hours, becuase I had to print it in 3 prints becuase I can only do one color at a time. So the body took 56 minutes (it also printed a little stand to go with it), the top and interior took 41 and the wheels, suspension and such took 49. That's using a Bambu A1

The little truck took 2.2 hours, all in pink

I finished designing and printing a battery tie down for my RC10B5M today. I'm using Spektrum shorty Smart packs and they are 2.56mm taller than what the battery tray was designed for. It was causing my carbon fiber battery tie down to flex alarmingly.

I used PETG for this job.

Nice work!

I'll take a profile photo of the part and post it to show the offset.

Here's a photo of my custom battery tie down strap for my RC10B5M, along with the one that came with the car when I bought it.

Shock pliers

I had RC buddies that weren't sure the pliers could give enough force. I have shocks to rebuild, so... No idea why there's an echo in the vid, it's not that way on my phone.

Those are probably better than metal ones! Nice man.
