3D printing KH Body Attempt

[JDH429]

Glory days, Wow, Thanks Man! I appreciate the comments. More pics on the way.

Oz, yes i agree, a great time to be into our hobby with all the accessories and manufacturers today, and yes 3d printing your own parts. I really enjoy this part.

1985, Yes im using a gray ABS filament like Pugs mentioned. Thought it was a good color for taking pictures of..White might have been too hard to see detail. And yes i can print anything i can design to fit in the printer. Time is all it takes. And yes this is my first attempt at a large piece such as this. Im pretty comfortable with the software im using and have printed quite a few things but nothing as complex as this. Complex in the way that it takes alot of planning and time for one job. The material only comes on one size and strength. The strength is relative to how you build or design your parts. Thanks for the comments.

RockN, Haha, id like to be thought of the first guy to give it a whirl. Hope i dont disappoint. But im sure theres others out there doing the same thing.

Outcast, Thanks! started printing the roof for the cab this morning before i left for work. Print time for these two pcs shown below was 6 hrs. I got home early today and they were almost done.



Started slicing up the cab last night.



And also started working on my front cross member at lunch today which will be a hood hinge, steering servo and bumper mount along with a location to mount my new spring hanger...havent got that far yet. Hopefully tonight.
