Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Getting close! Almost every FDM printer I've used will make IDs too small. Normally I drill them out. Even the industrial printer's SLA parts I've ordered are a bit of a wildcard in term of...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Awesome you took the CAD plunge. Alibre was at the top of my list too.
Id wager your printer is culprit. Some are better than others. Should be able to tune scaling in each direction. I've never...

I will say the forum has been running like a champ recently. Now we just need some content.

Re: What happened?
As far as I know this version of the forum software, vBulletin, is end of life. No security updates to keep the latest bots/spam out. The badguys always get better at being bad.

Re: Indy show
Checked out flights - no good options. I'd be in an airport longer than I'd be at the show. Maybe another year.

Re: Indy show
2023 had a big turnout! Far enough from me I'd have to fly in which isn't practical with equipment.
Would like to attend an east coast show at some point.

Re: Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader
Thanks Zabco.
I used Toucan Hobby. They accept PayPal which I prefer for international transactions. I like putting stuff together a certain way so a kit was a must for me. I'm always tempted by...

Re: Chevy K30 U-haul Maxi-mover 1973-75
Had no idea there were classic uhaul toys. You guys find the craziest things.
Some balsa furniture would be awesome. A stack of moving boxes would be great to fill up the trucks.

Re: Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader
Great to hear Jerry. We'd all like some fresh content.
The green was kind of an accident. The proper machine should be yellow and grey. Almost all brands are yellow or orange which is no fun. I...

Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader
Gonna start dumping more content here since I miss the heyday of this place and PMD's forum.
Acquired a kit a few months ago. Been together and tuning on it for a while now. Barely any...

Re: LINN Model DD-15 "HafTrak" Dump (1/14)
Awesome to see this getting worked on again. The drivecup and pinion mount are beautiful. Do you plan on swapping all the printed parts for metal, or only high stress parts?
