The peculiar world of 3D printing. Printers and CAD in a world of Craft Knifes and Pencils.

I might as well start the topic I've spoken about in the purchases topic. If admin want to do the fancy thing where they move posts to different threads then I think what was discussed in the purchases topic would make a nice start to this one. 

Anyhow, in the mean time...

Amazon sells lots of resin, search for '405 UV resin'. I but mine from there but generally stick to grey as I find I get better results than with the coloured stuff.

I'll need to try some calibration files at some point, My really big problem right now is this Geeetech Alkaid only recognises .ctb files, even sliceing .stl files and saving them as .ctb files it wont print them,??? Wrong resolution apparently, Anyhoo, I tried reprinting that dragon again, Turns out there was a screen saver over the LCD's but there was a felt pen mark on that, Guess that created a weaknest in the first layer causing the first print to fail.

Just spotted these on farmmodels nl, No doubt printed in Resin, A fully functioning cup and ball tow hitch so you can actually stick one of the minute pins in and lock the hitch, you'll notice all the hydraulic connections are fully replicated as well, as is the coupleing for the closed circuit hydraulic steering for any trailer with that set up.

Where did you get the file from?

Amazeing what can be achieved when your Resin printer is dialled in spot on,1/10th of a second can make a big difference in exposure time, Dust covers for K ball tow hitches,

1st bit of printing done with the Elegoo Saturn 4U and a new resin too. Well impressed with how this has turned out 

JF FCT 1100 harvester kit. £80 comes with a set of wheels 

[James Joe Dewar]

Nice bit of printing Harry, I gues you did several seperate prints, And the tyres and wheels individually, Much as I like the print quality of my resin printer, I still prefer the softer filament for tyres.

The tyres are cast rubber from artisan 32. I’m fit to print all the parts individually but together in one single print 

[James Joe Dewar]

Ah right, sounds good, I reckon you know about Cult's, some good tyres on there reasonably priced as well, I've bought a few from there, then just scketch up a wheel to fit them, That's how I did the tyres / wheels for the Knudson 4400 I made earlier.

sorry hugh, only just see the reply, cults3d, the red ones the kit, i have then altered/ remade some bits axels for instance, for it to allow bigger 4x4 tyres ,new interior seat, added the nudge bar and roll bar  .its close enough scale wise against the 1200 .although i may reduce it slightly ??
