Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Wow, that's pretty cool. I can see you even 3D printed the bellows of the airbags, but what material are the ends printed from? They look like metal. Nice work.

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Thanks Nathan, the only thing metal on the whole air ride system is the springs inside the bags and the rod and nuts that run through them, all else is abs solid plastic bud.

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Did a quick , mock up of the custom visor I'm sending to rod to have him fab one u in metal for me!

http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6932b699.jpg

Very pleased with the outcome so far, minor touches ups and wet sanding to follow...

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Wow, that's incredible. Are the shiny metal looking parts painted? You had me fooled, and I read that printing with metal was possible.

The cab looks great in primer! Any hints on what color it will be?

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Yes sir they are painted, and as for the color she will be cat yellow, white, and black with my fancy line work :)

http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pse2bd1883.jpg

from mirrors, to brackets, to vents to light buckets

http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4cd7aba0.jpg

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Turned out real nice.:D:cool:;) That is one bad kitty.:lol::lol::lol:

Big John

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Wow, I like the paint scheme. The cab turned out great. I like all the little detail touches. Awesome! Good luck drilling those little holes for the visor. Drilling holes that small in aluminum isn't as easy as you'd think. Been there, done that. Take your time!

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

thanks brother
thanks man and yea, tell me about it!, problem isthey have to be OVAL:eek: because thelights are integrated in the visor so not only do i have to drill them but i have to oval them out just right to fit the oval lenses in them....

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

Nice

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
 

looks good Brian ;) now I'll be expecting another update in a few days :p:cop:

Re: Heres My New Project...Cat CT660
