dBoots Hoons 3D printed wheel masking tool

[magnetik]

Tired of black wheels? Just put this together to help when painting dBoots Hoons rims. You can flip it around and paint the inside of the wheels too. Now you don't have to mask tires off and can paint wheels in seconds. I figured I'd post it up in case anyone wants to try it out. If it doesn't work out.. you could always use them as drift tires. lmao

before applying chrome coat..

after chrome dusting..

Kinda wish the chrome turned out better.. it was real chromy at one point but there is fine line between not enough and too much.. I'll practice some more

Check out the tevo torando mid $300s and prints pretty good out of the box

If you’re buying a printer, stick with the popular brands to get the best support. Creality is the best of the low cost brands due to popularity and ease of support from the community. Doesn’t mean they are the best hardware, but it’s like Arrma where the community support is strong.

I have a Tronxy, Prusa clone, works well.

Every decent product has facebook groups and forums with great people just like this one.

Did I miss the Pro stock drag wing?

haha no still working on it... will post here once I'm ready for testing

 

[magnetik]

Finally got to dig out the airbrush gear to test these templates out. Not too bad so far. These are dry and waiting to get a dusting of chrome.

not exactly sure if this belongs in 3d printing or paint and body..

The black looks killer. Can’t wait to see them mounted up. Nice work

My first attempt at chrome.. I think next time I'll go with lighter coats since it made it look more silvery.

I’m digging the ESC body cutout. Maybe do one of those fan ducts that someone had 3D printed. Was that @Mongoose ? Sorry if my memory is sh!t. Someone had a dope looking red fan duct.

yeah I didn't think about where the esc would sit when I got the center mount. I have a cover designed up but haven't decided if I wanted it permanent or not. I could double sided tape it, use inset screws, or neo magnets.. I'm thinking magnets and just plan on it going flying off if I hit something. heh
