[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

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.

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

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.

Truly exciting progress !

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

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.

Got a little more done on the lower wing piece. Added some foam to widen the back half of the part. Also got another printed part for the hydraulics. Just needs a few kit parts glued on and this will be ready to mold.

[Ray22]

I see Al has found a way to incorporaate guns into modeling as a new tool insted of drilling a hole just shoot one out Lol!, Now I know what Mike was talking about Blasters Lol.

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Lol. Yeah Ray. Ive got about 8 calibers to choose from so i can make a wide variety of holes.


Got a little more done on the lower wing section. Plus my laser cutter is here so ill be setting that up this weekend. More soon

Thanks for looking.

You know, after reading though this entire thread in one sitting, I am disappointed that the Betty isn't done yet. That being said, I am glad it's not done yet because I live just up the road in Austin, and I'd love to see it first hand before it gets shipped to Dallas or Waco or wherever. You are doing some fantastic work, and I am humbled before your mastery of the craft!
