Ooh that could get tricky, Maybe work better as three seperate prints, Cab top, cab skirt around the cab top, and two V shaped prints for the rear sides, ??

If you like I can try a sample roof useing white Petg I can't try TPU as I only have that in Black and Yellow but Petg is semi flexible,I would also be curios to see if it was shiney or matt plus I've never printed Petg that thin, what size is it,

Regards

Joe.

Yea 210 is about as good as it gets for most filaments TPU is a bit higher at 240, have you tried lower infill settings 100% is very high most folk use only 15%, as for that roof part your doing is it a hard top or canvas, If it  is canvas white TPU might be an easier solution.

I was surprised the other day to see this Ktwo Rodeo Curve trailer taking grain away from this Lexion 750, Never seen a Ktwo around here before probably because the original Kay trailers were produced locally in Milnathort 2-3 miles away,

Ok cheers for that Sean, I prefer the clarity I get on my 24" monitor and the pointer on my mouse. Meant to say yesterday, That red filament I used I haven't used in well over a year so when I went to tweek the end to get it to go into the extruder a little bit snapped off, I just kept breaking bits off until I got a flexible bit then cut that as usual and it printed fine.

no joe,they are printed on their side, its the only way i have managed to get the shape to print, even then only one  of the 2 progs i have will do it , it struggles with the wavy shape still , but the other just wouldnt slice it properly .i didn't engage smoothing just yet, want to get the shape and fit right first, then i will try it out, its printed as a solid part, 100% infill as thats the only way it stays strong enough ,the frame is only 2mm thick, 3 with the cladding at the rear 

Those should turn out gorgeous printed flat, Just wish you used Windows then I might be able to help more, I just quickly knocked this up in DSM, it's the roof panel on one of Steves diecast Duncan cab's the lip around the edge is 1mm thick, and the rest is 4mm with all square edges rounded as are the corners.

I've just been dodgeing around making the odd piece here and there, my Hooglosser trailer really need a few fine details and primed and painted and my Pacton flat converted to a walking floor need the back door locks printed and fitted, Sean in Cura if you type in ironing in the search facility you can enable Ironing which should smooth out the highest layer of your print, although looking at those roofs I really think you have some other issues going on, Did you print those flat on the build plate,???

Unfortunately  postage is fixed at €25 to the UK  so I will have to hope one turns up somewhere else 

I don't think this will help much as they all seem to be very thin on the ground, But the Deutz-Fahr version seem's to have the same back door, Same model really just moulded in a slightly different colour,

Diecast Masters took over from Norscot / USK and really improved the quality of they're Caterpillar models, But I can't see where their target market will be for this 1/32nd scale truck from Peterbilt, Most folk in the UK at least would be familiar with Mack and maybe Kenworth, But Peterbilt will be a bit of a stranger to most folk, The US farm model collector prefers 1/16th or 1/64th, And being a left hooker with a very long wheel base the only thing you could legally hook it up to would be the Meiller half pipe tipper, I was hopeing to post up a link to the video but couldn't find one. so here are a few "grabs".

I occasionally see a tri axle trailer around my area belongs to a contractor but I can never get a photo of it to try and delve deeper, There is the odd three axle chaser bin's but they are only ever full when chasing the combine, I see via Instagram Hay farm's at Easter Rhynd have they're new JCB 8330 on their Richard Western chaser in place of the Fendt 939 that's usually on it.

What is the capacity of the new kane triple axle trailer?

It should be C&U reg spec at 8 tonne per axle Paul, so 24 tonne, not sure that's legal though on UK roads, Their web site is being updated just now, But got this off they're Facebook page,

Hello Joe.

An update has been installed to which the search feature has been improved apparently so could be something to do with that. If not cleared up in a couple of days, I will look into it further. 

All good now Andy,

Joe.

to me the rest looks wiking, decent detailing ect, but the reel, seen better on playmobile stuff, they aint marge level but i would expect more at the cost it is,not that i am buying one .

Just discovered there is a wheeled Trion coming as well, Might look better than the tracked version, Those tracks look bad in my eyes.

There are other group's out there in Facebook with more photo's of it Sean, In my opinion the whole thing looks very Sikuesk compared to the Marge equivalent, plus the Marge ones are pretty much all diecast,

Joe.

Hope you get better soon Mike.

ROS were the first to have a >€200 regular model with the IDEAL combine, if I remember correctly, and I reckon this could be a first >€300 contender.

I'd much prefer some Grimme potato planting kit as I already have three Grimme harvesters.

Spot on that man, €299.90.
