Ah, now I see it -- thanks.
A design flaw, perhaps.
Anyway, I have merged the inner half of the pipe joints with the Manx roll bar and uploaded the stl file to the Beach Buggy Body Set on the Google drive.

Everything fit together easily, due to the accuracy of the model. Broke the passenger side upper front arm, printing a new one now...

It appears there is resurrection after all!..it will have Sanyo cells in it 4x2...gotta do the cuttouts in chassis in just the right spots, no room for error...Associated gold shocks coming, having different sprockets coming in hopefully a smoother finish with the "dirty yellowed" look lik...

When I was working on it today I asked myself the same question...it was so long ago I don't really remember doing any of it or how it was done...I do remember they are from a Tamiya...I am gonna go back thru the thread and try to find it

Glad I didn't follow that QIDI factory video blindly. I'm not replacing my entire Chamber Heater as shown in their Factory video, just the SSR, so I only needed to remove the back cover and not pull the entire top and bottom off - as the factory video would seem to suggest.

I'm happy to report that my very first print was a success.

The faces shown are in the orientation that they were printed in. Notice the color, or reflectivity is exactly the same between all three. https://i.imgur.c...

I washed down a manta ray back in the early 90s with motor cleaner and it literally fell apart under its own weight as I was getting a battery charged for it oops

My daughter want a phone case (she tends to abuse of them :-) ) https://i.imgur.com/RZWoRxt.jpeg It's good time to start a first TPU test, with a 95A shore TPU. It's from Sunlu. It is the typical TPU you would find almost everywhere. I can print it on the X1C from the external spool holder with the ...

It's about that time to have some fun in the snow runs!

Print was almost flawless... I'm saying almost as the slicer is possibly a little bit optimistic on the bridge length as the volume button opening had some defects... It doesn't generate any supports there, I guess I should have paint them. https://i.imgur.com/eMgOzg5.jpeg That said, the result is g...
