Jd6320driver Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Done a bit of work on cad over the weekend and drew up a few weight block designs. So far I have, cherry products smartbox, agriweld standard box, Philip Watkins x2 one with a front lid and one without. hopefully I’ll be fit to cast them after 3d printing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 They look great. Have you thought about adding a Sumo one to the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider it, but peter hardy and Dave twose are already making them so I decided against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 They look good hugh. What I find with existing offerings is that they are only really suitable for the bigger 250hp+ machines. Whats needed is one that fits proportionately well on the 140-180hp class machines that are most common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 A mate of mine with his tailor made toolbox colour coded for his 165hp New Holland T7.210 is a good example Hugh. The toolboxes width ,height and depth in relation to a very popular tractor in The 150-180 HP class is the key more than the curvy styling. Actually its similar in style to your 4th model image in red. You could easily set the measurements against a Universal Hobbies NH T7 model.

Stabliofarmer Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 They look very well, the surface finish of the nylon looks far better than the graphite sls I have had done in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron moore Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The weights came out well, what were they like for getting the parts turned round and back to you? Printing is definitely the way to go for prototyping, did you consider resin printing? Pretty much flawless prints and the detail you can add in is madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
