Re: RC Benchy
That and the print time. The 2 main sections of the hull take about 28-30 hours to print - EACH. I had to print the forward section 3 times before I got a good part.
I THOUGHT I had a...

Re: Time for a rebuild

That's quite the transformation, it looks good in the dirt.
I got that same wheel/tire/axle combination to try on one of my Bruder conversions. But they were too small and didn't look...

Re: RC Benchy
A lot of sanding has been done to the hull, it's just about ready for primer, and sanding, and filling, and sanding, and more sanding. Then there's the pilot-house, and the turrets, and the gun...

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
I got the sample of "Green Bay" yellow from COEX yesterday. The Green Bay yellow and the Construction yellow kind of fall on opposite sides of the spectrum to the yellow that Bruder uses. The green...

Re: RC Benchy
The RC Benchy from Thingiverse is a little bigger than that, it's about 15" to 16" long, and 7-1/2" to 8" wide. It's probably about 12" tall, I never measured it.

RC Benchy
I don't know if I'd exactly call it a boat or not, it's ugly enough to be cute. I stumbled across an RC version of Benchy on Thingiverse. If you're not into 3D printing. Benchy is used to benchmark...

Re: What happened?
Forum agreement, is that something you need money to fix? Do we need to kick in a couple of bucks to keep the lights on?

Was it just me that the forum hated, or did the forum actually go away for a while?

Re: 3D Filament color match to Bruder
The Matterhacker's Pantone 3546C is about as close of a match as I can find to the Bruder red, but it only comes in a 0.75Kg spool.
I said I wasn't going to do it again, but I ordered ANOTHER...

Re: Axle suggestions?

If you've got a 3D printer you could probably print that gearbox. Properly designed 3D printed parts will stand up to a LOT of abuse, they just need plenty of wall thickness and plenty...

Re: tiny hydro cylinders
The small cylinders won't be too much of a problem, as long as you don't exceed the pressure rating of the seals you might even get by using a pneumatic cylinder in a hydro set-up. Most pneumatic...

Re: Best location to add oil filter?
I would think that you would want to put the filter in a location so that the oil going out to the system from the pump is clean. That way you are using the cleanest oil possible. If you filter the...
