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...

Re: What happened?

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: Chevy K30 U-haul Maxi-mover 1973-75

Tracking down where the actual horse trailers can be rented is awesome. I expect license plate and phone number of the branch on the finished trailer.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Sat down and spun up 4x corner pucks. Force fit into the lower box and slip fit into the upper. Works not bad once they're all aligned. Lets me use the top box as a push handle to pop over...

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...

Re: Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader

Thanks Frizzen. The stock motor is a brushless outrunner 2800kV 22-24mm diameter and 30-35mm length. It's somewhere around a 280 sized motor in brushed size. I have not yet disassembled it to see...

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: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

A little paint would go a long way. Just too lazy to fully disassemble.
As for the cases, yeah I need to finish a couple chocks/blocks and it'll be complete.



Stack is the goal. The bolt...

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Case worked well bringing the Hitachi to a Diesel show. Was only a few miles from home though. Mostly just enjoying playing with my machines.

While gluing in the windows many weeks ago I broke the...

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?

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Thanks Jerry. I hope the tie down system is as solid as expected.

Tapping the stainless steel nutplates sucks, so I ordered some aluminum nutplates. Thread tear out will be a concern.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator now is a little strap to secure the bucket and slew

I needed a new brake bleeder for my real truck. Did the vacuum style, so maybe I can use the same to degas the resin. Haven't tried it yet.

The little ZX did get its first taste of real dirt....

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Tried out the elevated pour. So far so good. Still has small internal bubbles when cut, but OK for my use.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Been quiet around here in all sections.

I was too slow to paint the kenco and it rusted up. Recut it in stainless and painted it. Found some super thin .15mm THK M1.6 washers for assembly....
