Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Like your clamps, great idea. I agree with you that the cost of the commercial "welding" clamps is insane. I usually buy the cheapest Harbor Freight clamps I can find for welding. Like you, just...

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Absolutely incredible work! Thanks for the update photos.
Is that a certi-flat welding table? Been thinking of getting one. How difficult was it to assemble? Stay as flat as they claim?

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
Awesome work! Must have taken a lot of work to get all those rods adjusted to the proper lengths so all those wheel sets will turn to different radiuses simultaneously. Were you able to scale off...

Re: 3D Printing Test
Some more interesting questions Wombii. Would require some more testing, which I'm not going to do, to answer the relative strength question. However, I think that a 100% infill printed part and a...

Re: 3D Printing Test
Thanks Frizzen. I'm not going to be doing any more testing for awhile, too many other irons in the fire. As I said above, if I do another trailer it will be a combination of I-beam with 100%...

Re: 3D Printed Lowboy Redux
Yes, you are correct. I recently ran some tests on ways to increase strength, see article in 'Truck Building Tech'. One of the best ways on increasing strength turned out to be doubling thickness...

Re: 3D Printing Test
So without further ado, here is a table showing the deflection angles for each weight amount applied to each of the samples.

Re: 3D Printing Test
A few pictures of part B being made. Here's the part on the bed of the printer right after the extruder has paused and moved out of the way.

Download speed seems to have greatly improved. Only a one or two second delay today. Thanks to whomever was responsible for taking care of this issue.

Re: 3D Printed Lowboy Redux
Thanks very much. I've become inspired to do some testing on some techniques to improve strength and hopefully will have some information to pass on shortly.
