Yeah, the rear arms look great this time. What's the bearing fit like; do they drop in or require a push? It was a tight fit, most likely based on the layer height settings, and the unfinished interior of the hub, the model looked great, the print could be better. Couldn't get that bearing back out...

Thank you XLR8, unfortunately that is not quite correct what Mr. Google had to say. See the table below. 32DP is close enough to work with MOD 0.8, but the mismatch between 48Dp and MOD 0.5 is too big. Especially the smaller the gears get. I have a 20T input shaft from Team Durango that I wanted to ...

I keep my filaments in 5 gallon buckets, with screw on lids, and dehumidifiers in them. Each bucket holds 5 spools. Check on the dehumidifiers every now and then, and recharge them as needed. https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-5-Gallon-Orange-Homer-Bucket-05GLHD2/100087613 https://www.homede...

By chance, are you also measuring the humidity in the buckets? Maybe knowing the humidity in storage isn't so important since you can always dry the filament when you're ready to use it? Thus, storing the filament in sealed containers with dehumidifiers reduces the time required to dry the filament...

When Bambu has a sale on the AMS you have to take advantage of it

Anyone know how much you need to spend on shoes or purses to counteract something like this?

Polished the gloss layer from Coarse, to Fine, and then Finish with the Tamiya polish compounds. Struggling to come to terms with the problems in the paint job. Need to decide to fix the flaws - which won't be short or easy to do, or leave the 'character'. The line I putty'd on the nose, chipped and...

Decided to pull the trigger on a Bambulab A1 Mini for very specific uses cases that I don't want to tackle on the X1C: Printing low shore TPU/TPE requires to change the extruder spring tension to work. This appear possible to do on the X1C by modding the printer head cover, but comes with additional...

The A1 looks like a very capable yet inexpensive machine and perfect for single purpose printing. Very much looking forward to your review. For the small story, one of my friends contacted me because he had a small rc project (a mini Lunchbox 1/32 with available parts on Thingiverse) and he told me...

Sorry, the temptation has already been generated. :wink: I also have a few projects in mind that will require tires that are not available so I want an inexpensive printer for that purpose. I could print them on the P1S but... It looks like the mini could be the right tool for the job. I would say ...

Front pivots, rear axles and front springs.


Getting close to being done with printing the SRB. Will drill and tap most of this, but probably have to CA or hot glue some things along the way.

Got the white PETG, and Olive Matte PLA. The PETG Manx dune buggy chassis was the last piece to print, it's ready for assembly. https://i.imgur.com/yCjwAOp.jpg The Olive Matte is exactly the same color as plastic army men. https://i.imgur.com/d6duaTQ.jpg First crash test dummy, forgot to print his e...

Your parts are looking great! I'm about to order filament and I'm looking for some advice. Are we selecting PTEG over say ABS for its improved printability? According to these graphs, ABS is stronger and more heat resistant than PTEG. Maybe it's all about the "pungent odors"?? filaments.j...

Thanks!! I'm leaning toward ABS for printing bodies that will painted so UV exposure won't be a problem. How does PTEG sand and does it accept lacquer based primer and paint? Also, what is the best method to bond PTEG? Thanks for your reply. That's the biggest advantage of ABS : it's probably the e...

The Sharpie looks pretty good, it's not flat black, but it does look like rubber.




Going to finish as much as I can with the pen, and then see if it requires paint.
