What did you print today?

[Ginglehopper]

A lot of us have 3d printers that are most likely printing non-stop. Show us what you printed today. It can be anything, from a 5 minute print to a 100 hour print. It doesn't have to be RC related.


I'll start. I printed a mount that allows you to put a Firma 130 on a BRCC without it mashing up against the servo. I designed it on Fusion 360.

Tail pans and air dams for the felony and body skids as usual.. rest of the printers are sitting stagnant at the moment..

Cnc machine is running though..

Wait, I lied.. one other printer was running.. my mono x.. actually just finished a print, and some parts I took off earlier...

Daaaanng that's a lot of printers. That CNC looks messy lol.

Yeah, that's only some of them.. I have 9 total..... Cnc is only messy inside the enclosure...... she has been putting in work..

I think I’ve seen you sell stuff that you printed, right? I think they were slides or body protectors I forget. So if I needed something printed…are you a good possible source?

Are CNC's spendy? I need to convince my dad to get one.

I've sold a lot of printed parts. They are definetly not the best quality, but I can model then print and ship them. I've made stuff for @parcou @psychoswat @aametzger @Kusher and more that I can't remember. I have sold to others too. So ask them not me??

I built that cnc for right around 2k with the enclosure and water cooling.. but that doesn't count tooling.. that's probably another 800 worth... If I had the chance to do it again I would have gotten a larger mill..
Keep at the fusion and printing man.. my printers have made me over 8k since January so far.. They can be very useful..

Yeah... no. Too spendy for me and I don't think my dad would want to spend that much if he's not interested.
I'm getting better at fusion,(prior to learning on Solidworks) and i'm really wanting to start selling a lot of printed parts. Thanks!

That’s great! I don’t need perfection. They’ll get scratched up anyway. Next time I have some thing in mind I’ll hit you up man! Thank you!!

Have you ever looked into building a fan mount for the Arrma Voltage? I managed to cram one in on this voltage but would like a proper mount if possible. I’ve got three of them. The other thing is bottom skids for a granite and big rock. I think I saw you mention some thing like that in a previous post and I like the idea.
Have you got your prices figured out and postage? Ir are you still working on that? Happy to help you build up your business here. I’m patient also and understand mistakes and issues as long as there’s communication.

I have never looked into a fan mount for the Voltage. PM me if you want me to make one. I'll need measurements though. Remind me again about the bottom skids?? Where do they go? Are they like skid plates?

On the bottom of the car. And I’m not exactly sure how they would look for work I just know the underside of all my cars take a beating

I guess I could whip something up, but it wouldn't be very strong and the chassis would still get scraped up from uneven surfaces unlike concrete.

I have a question.....how much to get set up on a decent 3d printer and some material? Just for a personal use thing. I don't have enough tine to do anything else lol

You can get a Creality Ender 3 for about $200-$250. You can get 1kg of PLA (easiest to print with) for about $20-$30. I use hatchbox brand. There are plenty of great upgrades for the Ender 3. Printers can get time consuming, there is a bit involved in getting good prints...

Hmmm...atleast it's not outa the world to try it. Thx for the info. Could u elaborate a bit on what the process or main points are to printing?

Level the bed, keep your filament dry, keep the bed clean, prep the bed correctly, print settings in cura. I'd say it takes me 5 minutes to get a print going if everything is working fine. My process. Turn on the printer and raspberry pi, connect to octoprint, heat the bed and extruder, load the filament, prep the bed (clean bed if not already done, put glue on the bed), load the print. I might be missing something though.

Maybe @Lovestricken will help you. He helps me a lot with printing, and he is waaay more advanced at it. I'm still kinda a noob lol. @Camaroboy383 is also into 3d printing.

Appreciate the start bud!

Like 8 more bumper supports. These are my favorite things I have designed and printed so far.

They replace the Oval support behind the bumper?

No, they go right here. They are for the Senton 3s.
