Just trying to figure out who would be interested in having a part produced in ABS Plastic. I own a 3D printer, and can print up to sizes of 8"x8"x8"

Thanks for your input.

This is a Thermoplastic Extrusion machine that prints .1mm thick per layer.

These printers are sweet.
What machine do you have?
If I had 1 I would be making some scale drivers.

I will be making vintage and modern scale drivers for 1/8 and 1/10 scale. Also I will be making accessory parts like mirrors etc.

What do you need as a template? Do you need the actual part? Don't know how those work.

Look it up on youtube/google you will see a ton of videos and parts people make.

It prints from digital 3d models.
Its like a cnc machine but instead of taking material away it builds material up in tiny layers.

Printing will begin today. I will have examples up after I return in a week from a trip. There will be mirrors, drivers etc.

It is my personal. I work from home and print 3d prototypes. I just noticed that people do not offer enough "scale" items out there on the web.

Can you do the fuel tanks that resemble the ones on this truck? Im doing a scale truck replica to pull my JBS boat.

I would need rough dimensions for the tanks. I will only print in black or white since those are the colors I use for work.

I'll get dimensions. I suppose black would be best. I can get them painted.

My truck is only a two door, so it would be two of the tanks on each side. Appropriate dimensions would be 6 inches in length and 1 inch diameter. They have a squared shape with rounded corners if you zoom in on the picture.

The black side rails on the model can be replace by flat pieces, so I can just epoxy or bondo your tanks onto them. You wouldn't have to make the rail underneath.

That is an awesome 3D printer :tongue_smilie: If you need some 3D CAD work done, we can discuss rates. I use SolidWorks 2012.

Sorry everyone, I have had to put off 3D printing projects at the moment. I am currently working on some serious projects for my day job. I apologize if I have delayed anyone. I just don't have the time
