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?

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...

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...

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.

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: 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...

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...

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?
