Mockup of bed conversion and roof rack. First time using the jewelers saw on a diecast. Australian style.

Took a bit of a hiatus from RC to focus on diecast and a little revenue stream to pay for my hobbies. I've started modifying files for the Mighty FC so I can get working on the interior, a full one piece reprint of the cab with a slightly different orientation that should not only be stronger...

Back on my diecast garage project. I posted my make on Thingiverse this weekend and the designer said he thought it was better than his. I don't know about that but I'm pretty happy with where it's headed. It was originally many more individual pieces but since I have the large printer I melded...

Good call, I went back and looked at my settings from when I printed it and I thought I had changed it to 3 walls but I guess I left it at 1. Talking to a couple of other people that have printed it they said that the cubic subdivision infill gave them similar issues and it was probably...

Options. I've been playing with TPU a bit since I got the new printer and decided I wanted a different option for the Mighty FC. So along with working on revising the canopy from it's first design I made a tonneau cover. I think the support bows need to be a little taller and thinner to give...

Canopy, Bumper, Mud Flaps, lot's of design and printing this weekend.

1 of 4 doors for the side of the canopy I'm designing for my Mighty FC build. 2 per side. They theoretically can be rolled up for access to interior body pins and a couple of small toggle switches I'm adding for the lights that run directly off the battery. And some trays I drew up for...

Chose the wrong infill pattern when printing the cab, it's going to get shot with a matte or flat paint so we'll see how it looks. I will probably reprint the cab with the roof attached but didn't want to spend the time and materials for the supports it takes to do them together for a mockup...

Going to give the 1/10 scale flares a shot in TPU. Mock up beds are nested and printing 1/10 and 1/24 right now. Then I can get positioning and mounts figured out. I designed up a canopy for the bed so that is next on the printer after I run the flares and some PLApro detail parts like hinges...

Haven't touched my RC stuff since New Years so of course I jump all in lol. One of the reasons I wanted a larger printer is to print my own bodies and large parts, as well as for the diecast diorama buildings I'm designing. Working in 3 scales. Left is going to be a drift truck for my HPI...

First ever print with TPU just getting a baseline for the new printer. Generic TPU settings and the high end of recommended printing speed. Going to see how it likes a day in the sun. Also whipped up a little dolly for some of my photoshoots. Have a rail design in process so it will be...

Haha, I just remembered you said something about hoping you had enough filament and then saw the color change. It's not bad, good visibility.

Run out of filament?

LOL. Pretty sure it's a cigar in his hand so that fits.

Modified a shipping container design I found for the diorama. Maybe a security office? Boss approves.

I will put together a photo essay of it soon. I find myself tinkering with it all the time making little and not so little changes. Printed a bunch of small accessories. Need to get some paint on the walls but I like it.

That means I'm doing it right. ;) 1/64ish cars. Building is 115mm tall.

Made a gate to go with the wall.

Haha, at some point I need to stop adding to this project and clean up the showroom design so I can sell it as a kit. EDIT: To be clear I didn't design the wall sections but I did have to modify them because they had some odd errors. Cura was just sitting frozen when I tried to slice it so I...

Some 1/64 cinderblock walls are about an hour from being done. There are actually 4 panels there.
