I printed the Tamiya Sand Scorcher driver figure, from a CAD model I purchased a while ago. I printed the face in three different orientations. 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...

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...

The result is really encouraging, and this means we may have another solution than Resin to print tires, because at the end it feels like the rubber of a tire...

The many added benefits of having a printer are slowly become apparent. For instance, the aluminum motor plate and mounting blocks require many precisely located screw holes so I quickly printed drill templates for these parts. transmission.jpg I simply glued the templates to the blanks and drilled...

The more you will work with 3D printing the more you will think about insiginifiant short print helping to solve simple problems.
I do no longer see problems, I see solutions

After looking through all the vintage boxart, I can't find any pics of the passenger side. https://tamiyabase.com/images/stories/boxart/box_58016_04.jpg I've found others interpretations of what the passenger side looked like, but the K&N decal under the door handle is directional, it won't work...

Your license plate does look great. I'll look in to the gloss decal sheets for color laser printers, would like to print on the good stuff if possible. Three fried ROM chips on this Commodore SX-64, has kept me troubleshooting and researching for days now. https://i.imgur.com/fBMv0r7.jpg Better than...

Please tell me you're running your 3D printer with a Commodore 64... 8) 8) 8) :lol: Laser prints are more resilient than inkjets. Inkjets require lamination especially on vinyl where the ink comes off easily. Unlaminated laser prints will wear and fade too, just not as fast. Laminating makes the de...

Man...they just keep coming!

Got the floorboard painted. https://i.imgur.com/3Fqc8jP.jpg Finally solved the mystery of the larger decals. https://i.imgur.com/MKETM5Q.jpg There are two sheets that MCI sells for the Sand Scorcher. The sheet on the left is Sand Scorcher specific, and that's where I took the larger Penzoil, Simpson...

Could only find one of the smaller correct size Gumout decals, the other one will turn up some day. https://i.imgur.com/DMn0Ixt.jpg In order to make the passenger side match, I'm going to have to borrow the Gumout from the Rough Rider common sheet. https://i.imgur.com/KdpocRi.jpg Had to do it. https...

When I search for 1979 Beetle tail lights, it pretty much confirms every version of the Sand Scorcher box art is not accurate. :D https://www.copleywest.com/wp-content/uploads/1979-vw-super-beetle/IMG_1352-scaled.jpg Orange, red, white, is '79 US spec. Euro spec is the same apparently. Will still do...

Got the interior-plate painted today. https://i.imgur.com/oOCDAaE.jpg The dash board I'll go over with X-18 aluminum and detail and highlight the features, later. https://i.imgur.com/Tsc5hZV.jpg But the masking tape pulled the acrylic airbrush paint from the floor board, in a few spots. https://i.im...

Got the geometry nailed after having a look at my Scorpion , had to put a significant riser block in , looks inelegant right now but I'm thinking of combining it with the original trailing arm mount that also acts as the roll hoop mount so it needs something there and if I combine both functions in ...
