Re: 3D Printer files for Bodies

Maybe THAT's why if I don't print something every couple of days I'll find the filament snapped off at the extruder drive? The Plastic Pooping Robot got bored and was acting out?

Re: RC Benchy

I haven't been able to find a Cap'n Crunch figure in an STL file, licensed trademark and all that. I did find the STL files for Mario on Thingiverse though. Why I can find Mario, and not the Cap'n...

Re: RC Benchy

The needle files, the scrapers, the wheel, and myself all have spent a little quality time together for the last couple of nights. I've got the layer lines removed from most of the wheel, should be...

Re: RC Benchy

Frizzen:

I haven't tried floating this thing yet, there's still a couple of major holes below the waterline. Benchy's still missing his prop shaft/bearings, and rudder tube. I think it's going...

I haven't been able to check on this thread for a while, and I didn't see that a couple of months ago you'd asked me a question - until today.

All my printing to this point has been...

Re: Axle suggestions?

I agree with jerry56, even though these toys may be heavy, I don't think they'll have enough traction to be able to dig a load of dirt in the scraper. The belly dump should be doable though.

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

jerry56:

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.

I built a prototype for the...

That's not really fair to you.

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?

Totally agree, there's a lot of good info on here. (Plus I was starting to get the DT's, needed my construction fix.)

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...

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...

That's an interesting concept, a fully street legal forklift.

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: John Deere 9 Series Tracked Tractor with Planetary Steering

I thought it was probably something like that. If I'm reading it right, the center section will telescope back when the wings fold, and telescope forward when the wings open. I know this is just a...

Re: John Deere 9 Series Tracked Tractor with Planetary Steering

Something is not making sense to me on the planter drawings, and that's the length of the triangle braces for the wings. It would seem to me that as the wings fold in, either those braces need to...
