Whatcha Printing?

eventually this will be a mold to create a vacuum forming buck.

Awesome! Something you’ve done before?

No, working with a friend. I'm just printing these. He's doing the majority of the work and vacuum forming.

I would love to see that process documented if he’s up for it. Such a cool skillset.

Printed some of these and had leftover magnets from another project. These will come in very handing when wrenching

Fixed it

Got about 80% complete. Somehow I miscounted bearings and need a few more and still waiting for the belts to get here. Did a solid rear end as I didn't want to mess with a 3d printed diff.

Generational thing, can't be helped. Still love some of that music, and at the young age of 51, my cars still get equipped with premium audio. If it won't shake the mirrors, I got no use for it.

I lived that life. I had a 4 banger Mustang I couldn't spend money on making it go fast, so I put a stereo system in. That damn car had over $1000 worth of gold plated RCA cables in it. The front component set were MB Quarts and were ridiculous. Over $600 for that set. Rears were Infinity. I made fiberglass enclosures for the mids and subs. It only had 10" subs, but man that system sounded good. The music is still playing now and it's called tinnitus

I have tinnitus too, for many reasons. Loud concerts, heavy equipment operator (didn't alway have ear plugs, eh, this'll be fine), shooting guns without ear pro, car stereo systems, watching ball games with my sister (she was a cheerleader, she thinks the louder she screams at the TV, the more the coach will hear her LOL) etc. Good times.

Not sure I’d classify this as wood working, but yeah. This is for a plywood box that needs hole in it.

 

[Spksh]

Yes, good.

I love that stuff! My kids always use it all before I get around to printing anything cool for myself with it lol.

My HL is always wiped out as well. Even after they hiked the prices up 2 dollars per roll once they realized how well it sells.
