I’m after dropping the flippin bonnet off my mf390 and chipping the corner of the paint and snapping the exhaust. Someone in annoying me about a bloody phone and you lapse concentration 🤬

the revel one will touch it in no problem, have a tin as well for the same jobs, but use the aerosols for new stuff like cabs or bonnet conversions.

that ford needs some wider front on it as well, doesnt look right somehow with them skinny ones on,set of the jd 4020 would suit it

Nice work there Sean. I’ve done about a 100 little bales before and I can’t tell what’s worse 😂

small, especially if you have big figures ,i do mi e in a jig that does 6 at a go, but its bloody fiddly to say the least,even harder to stack them   ,next efforts trying to glue them to a wall of card, so i can move it forwrds and backwards, with loose ones in front, otherwise it will take forever to make enough to make a good stack .

splash of colour on the tyres, painted really well, and no obvious misses, tamiya black rubber, do have a revised set done as well,with more angled/rounded side cleats,slightly more shallow treads, but will use this lot up first. as once painted i think they look finealso got a set of 3 tines printed, just trying to decide colour, .have two trailers all assembled, along with two others printed, still on the supports, plus body and chassis for two more done,, just waiting on the drop side prints,which have had a small revision to them for ease of build

nice bales there,i  must do more for the layout sometime all be it small bales

Precision combine too ??

they did a jd combine last year,cant remember the number ,but was old school , was very well done, nearly parted with my cash to be honest.

 have spent pretty much all of this week around north and central cornwall for work, somewhere i have not been round for a couple of years properly, just been passing through , but i have been amazed by the explosion of fendts up that way, new ones and second handers, seen a couple of new 939, 800’s and 500’s ,the 500’s mostly all had fendt loaders. a big range of older 700 and 800’s ,and a couple of black 936’s , looking at the plates, i would say most have been trade ins from east anglia, given the A* prefixes. whilst fendt  have a dealer that  way ,it was rare to se a new one so clearly they must be doing some good deals,and even with the trade ins.it always used to be new hollands, then john deeres out that way,with the cow guys liking their masseys, now its all fendt . also passed a farm i go past once a week, always been a new holland guy,normally has 3 ,one with a loader  but now hes running brand new case ,same i know but are the case versions cheaper than nh? seems weird to swap like that,hes been nh for the 30 years i have been out that way .

it is joe, takes ages to save and upload to the cloud , i only put 4 on a file, then copy it on the slicer to try and keep it down size wise as well,

Those grooves are really deep Sean, they will be very difficult to spray, but will look the part, Black Plasti Dip latex rubber aerosol realy does look like rubber, You should give that to go, Could you  print the tyres and centres seperately, painting the centres and wheel studs will be very tricky after the tyres are painted,

They are deep and i do have another one part done cad wise with a shallower rib and a small amendment to the outer cleats? /tread , just softening them a bit , but it takes ages to do , and to be honest for a print ready set of 6 tyres its a bloody big file as well , bigger than all the trailer files added up , 110 meg plus so theres a fair bit of data in it 

what i plan to use 

been fighting a really really bad case of man flu this weekend 😂😂😂😂 so not been bothered to much about the shed, but have been sat doing more work on the trailer tyres, first 2 pics were my original attempt, the next to, what i think i will settle with ,now to find a sensible priced rubber resin, or do you think  a coat of tamiya rubber tyre black would be ok??

to be honest cyril, for a boxed powerfarm, in what looks to be good nick?? 74 quid aint a bad price, they are normally 100 at most shows that i have seen

Sean, can you remember which JCB model was sold at Newmaher for 400 quid, I tried to find it on here in the Events page but couldn't see it,would be either 2018 or 2019.

Regards

Joe.

i remember a john deere that did the rounds in the uk ,to have a laugh with someone,even i had a pic taken with it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

peter raffles of one of every limited show model he does.only just seen the post,but just from pic 1 you could see it was one of his 

look between the rear wheels and the arches and you will see some small screws, remove those, then you should be able to remove th cab in one peice 

one will prob head my way,just down to it being the right era and i have all the other 2000 series , that said its far from good, still wrong on the exhaust, air filter bloody huge, get the arch extensions are a euro thing, but not something i like the look of. really can not believe agco has signed of any of the 2000 with the exhaust issue anway

Give it a go on your Ender3 useing flexible TPU Sean, Or none flexible PLA comes out really nice,And only £14.83 a kilo.

not convinced i would get the tread detail to show joe, i did try it once ,and they were just black discs effectively, i may have a go with the resin, just to see how well they come out, but i do still have the moulds to cast more, its just a time thing, takes 30 mins to get 4 tyres casting, i did a print of 30 and it was 2 and 3/4 hours . the normal resins come out fine, but shrinks a little so they need sanding out in the middle, or redesigning, where as rubber would stretch that 1/4 mm out to fit .

Interesting, the stuff I'd seen was about £140 for 500g so that seems a bargain!

Yes and no i guess , for you its prob expensive given how much you do , it seems costly to me compared to 19 quid for 1kg i normally pay , but i wont  print anything near as much as you, so prob cheaper than i mentally think, test print came out ok, all the details are nice and visible 

cheers james, they really took some doing,

the printer parts arrived Tuesday, so fitted them Wednesday, its now does the exposure test fine and the clean tests as well ,  so all working again, plus a new fep sheet to replace the one wasted in the tests (freebie) not what i had before though ,a softer  sheet than normal, looks smokey, but is very easy to fit, and no sticking/pop when it lifts now. 5 prints in and no issues, 

not 100% sure it was the screen despite what they said, i recon it was poss the ribbon cable loose on the motherboard end ,as i re terminated   that when i had it apart, as it looked angled  ,they only told me to do the screen end ,and it worked when i had the old screen on (didnt try  a print mind) , but changed it to the new one  ,will keep the old one as a spare as i suspect its fine,

the resins 35 quid for a 500g bottle so double for half as much, so i may not do it,but it does look good so maybe a bottle for my own stuff in the future,

well after most of the day ,since 10ish ,mainly trying to remember how to it , especially the wavy pattern tread ,which i have not found on any youtube video ,have used maths i have not used since school working out arcs and stuff along with breaking down to correct size sections to use .my head hurts now 😂😂😂 but i think i have got some tyres  sorted for the trailers, little more detailed than the cast ones i have, but if they come out ok it will save me some time instead of rubber casting. have even found a potential resin thats rubber style as well, but its hellish pricey for a small bottle first sets printing in normal resin as i type before committing to a costly bottle of resin,black paint may be easier 😂😂

they were using something similar down here smithy ,when doing a big roadwork's job, but it had a built in chainsaw as well, they fitted it to the end of a merlo roto, so cut the limbs up high and just bought it down, so no climbing, lot quicker, road was closed for 2 hours max , rather than all night

If i had posted that up Barry i think Robbo would put me on the naughty step ,  again 😂

if you had posted that the top would have been held together with baler twine smithy 

nothing as flash as smithy, my welding was never good to say the least.for me a extractor fan and pipe so i can fit a proper vent in the shed paint booth ,wife's been nagging at me for a while now about when i spray in the shed even though i used a paper face mask , so this should stop her nagging at me now,
