Default Re: 3D printing KH Body Attempt

Mario, thanks . I do think the hood is a bit high but after looking at it from a few feet away straight on it looks better than the pictures represent. I pretty happy with it. A buddy of mine had an 05 w900b and it always looked a bit bulldogish with the short high hood and even from the side profile the front of the hood looked tall like the cab was leaning back a tad. I think it's close to that. I designed this from just looks and without any hard measurements. Next time I'm gonna scale down a 1:1 and eliminate the guess work. First time..not too bad I think.

Nate, thx man. The printer I have is called the Afinia, Octave systems sells it in US. About 1800.00. I did the same thing and looked at desktop milling machines and decided to go this route cause it was cheaper and seemed like it had many uses, which it does. Comes in handy for around house too. Made countless little gadgets easily and fairly quick like brackets, holders, toys etc.. It was worth the money IMO.

Thank you Lost.
