Thanks.
Guy, ive seen your builds. im sure you could build that part.
those boxes are perfect for primer. LOL
Does the heat (temperature) in Texas cause any problems with your build or is your shop climate controlled?

Not really, the only thing that might get a little wonky are the 2 part foam patterns over time, but i just use those to make concrete plugs and they get tossed any way. and the concrete will never shrink or crack. so not really a problem. unless you dont like the heat. and well Texas aint no where near as hot as the Sand box.
Just a quick update. my computer is in for upgrades so the pics are lo Rez.
Started on the pattern for the lower rear wing. the one underneath the tail. and the main hydraulics actuator or what ever its called. it will be printed out.
Thanks for looking.
Al
How much does it cost to have something like this printed out? Its a new world to me but well worth investigating?
Guy, that parts about $60. theres ways to save money by making hollow parts and making the side walls thinner. let me know if you want a part made ill see what i can do for you.

Al what is that huge chunk of medium on the table?
Cheers Al, I'll PM you some thoughts later, off to Fedex now with a Snowspeeder bound for SpainIEDBOUNTYHUNTER said:

Quick update, doing this from my phone. My computer is getting some upgrades for when my laser cutter gets here. Ill be able to cut 1/2" wood and plastic and bed size is 12x24. Pm me if you need laser cutting
My friend Roboto printed this part for me. Came out great. Hydraulic actuator for the betty. Will get more pics later when i get it.
Man when those 3-D printers come down in price that will be sweet to have one, remember the 1st flat screen tv's when they came out they were about $10,000 to $15,000 grand that was nuts Lol.
Ray, still got a ways to go for good resolution and a decent price. Right now for a good printer its about 30k. Anything under that and theres alot of clean up work and loss of detail.
Formed a part and started trimming still need to form the plating and add the inner wall thickness to it. Heres what i have so far.
Thanks for looking.
30 G's Oh Snap! yeah they have to come down a bit like 29 G's Lol, man she is starting to shape up with all the different parts.
Great update Al!
3D printed part came out great....WOW!
Love the vac pic using the thick stuff.....looks
cool with the cut out in it!
Hey guys. Got the printed part and started fitting it into the main housing for it. Going to rough fit this. Then mold it. Then ill finish this part and mold that.
Also go back to the lower wing part saturday. So another update soon.
Also my laser cutter should be here next week. Got 50watts of power so can cut 1/2 inch wood and acrylic. With a 12x24x 8 inch bed. So if any one needs cutting just PM me.
A few pics.
Looking good !
Laser cutter to YOU ! OMG. It's sounds like a light saber to the Jedi-Master.
Did you name your workshop ?
