That's looking really smart Sean

From memory this was printed along with a bunch of track grousers, so I nested three engines and probably 15 grousers on the build plate and because they're only 10/15mm tall it took about an hour to print everything. Yes Joe, one singular print with supports where the computer wanted to put them and then just quickly brush painted.

A little demonstration of the detail a Resin Printer can achieve. This was a full size file downloaded off Grab cad then scaled down to 1:32 and put in the printer. The detail that has remained is really impressive.

Great to hear, looking forward to hearing more

Missed these earlier, love them! Particularly the Bonser, foot pedals are the icing on the cake detail wise, far too much patience

Incredibly intricate work there John, nicely done

Thank you, yes it is 1:32 scale. I have a habit of starting projects and not finishing them so I have not made a specific topic, when some more progress is made I will start a new topic.

Thank you Jan, yes the undercarriage has been designed and 3D printed by myself.

Scalpel in hand on this one for the first time in a while, they're a big old bit of kit these mastenbroeks, certainly testing the grey matter between the ears!

Looking good Gav, do you just flat the backs of the castings off with sand paper, or do they cast flat enough to use as they are?

Loving those Will, would look great on a diorama

Looking good Alex, great to see the new farm expanding beyond the carpet!

Great work Gavin, nice to see the development process too

Alright, this 3D print stuff is quite good fun. Stl file bought of cults, never thought I'd have my car in 1/32 scale

Funny you should say that today if all days Smithy. I've put my first ever big print on (5.5hrs) and the kettle has decided it no longer wants to kettle tripping the electrics mid print! Luckily as Sean says there's some fancy bit of programming that realises what went on and starts from where it stopped.

Yes all the CAD is from scratch, I have two 2d views from the brochure and just working off that for rough sizes. Wheels are okay once you get your head around them and the idea you never really draw a circle to make them, instead revolving a cross sectional drawing of tyre. I'm still getting used to fusion 360 though, like learning a second language. Solidworks is what I use during the day and I'm much more competent with it.

I think they have, but AT aren't the best at sticking to deadlines.

Surely there's a tracked Volvo on the way from AT at some point.

Really starting to see the possibilites 3D printers can offer. Just not as enjoyable as hand work, think the upper body work on this will be off the craft knife, spend enough time staring at computer screens at work!

Excitedly booked a table this afternoon to dust of the display, only to be reminded I've got a YFC dinner dance on the Saturday night in Driffield, going to be some rushing about going on that weekend! Looking forward to catching up with the community again, feels like theres alot of excitement building about being back.

One 'ultra' detailed KTwo Ejector finished. Quite pleased with the outcome. Added the working scissor system for the ejector hydraulics, working roll over cover and lots of hydraulic hoses

Phoar, look at all the resiny goodness. Looks like they've held up very well, no major warping.

Something on the go for myself at the moment, functioning steel tracks.

Looks great Sean, nice to see the work pay off!

I've seen stuff about Gcode for printing before but never really understood it. I just save the file direct from splicer (chitubox) onto a USB, plug the USB into the printer and hit print from the touchscreen menu. Use a cnc router at work that requires direct Gcode and just alot of hassle these days to be honest.
