Default Re: 3D printing KH Body Attempt

Fantastic job on the body so far. Can't wait to see it together. Your really showing how far these printers have come in the last few years.

Have a prusa v2 myself but I'm not ready to attempt a body yet. Been doing lots of wheels, sprockets and detail parts. Gotten down to .1mm layers with a .5mm extruder. Building a .35 extruder now. Still got a long way to go at getting better at 3D drawing.

Mario, Thank you! And that video you posted is Kickass. What a cool process. Thanks for posting the link. Id def like to know more about that.

Ihbuilder, Keep at it. It will be worth it. Hope you take some pics as your moving ahead. Id be interested to see for sure.

Outcast, wow, thats some fine detail. Post some pics of some wheels youve made.


Ok here is where im at currently. Did some sanding and filling also. I think its looking great, and I am now able to determine how far i need to move the front axle forward on the chassis. 1:1 w900s are the same way. Front axle sits right behind the bumper..Im also going to start designing a new front cross member and hinge for the hood. While thats all going on ill try to get the cab going too. Im at about 15 hours total print time for the hood components.
