CarlC Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) @Alex97I have printed a number of braces and parts in PETG and it is great, just make sure you go for a good thick wall if you want rigidity.

CarlC Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 1 minute ago, Alex97 said: what filment are you using? Currently, I am using some cheap filament I got off Amazon. Its from a Chinese company called YOYI. I got their filament as I didn't want to spend a lot to try PETG on my printer and found I really liked it. It all prints at between 200 to 240 degrees C (I normally print at 230 and have the printer in an enclosure) and works well in my Creality CR-10S. I did try a Micro Swiss solid metal hot end (I was thinking about printing nylon) and found it work well but I had huge number of clogging issues. It would run for a while once I got the setting right (retraction etc) but then for no reason I have a run of clogs, recently I switch back to the hotend that came with the printer but with some Capricorn bowden tube and its been good. I just started printing receiver boxes as some of my builds have needed them recently and did some braces for an Enduro for another member on here (pics below). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post No brains Posted May 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Gave the ta-03rs porsche the first run of his life, it runs very nice, so after more then a year or so it is nice to have a street car again and do something different then running on the beach, I had a tt-01 and an xv-01 but sold both. I have put a larger pulley on the rear and smaller on the front to overdrive the car, it helps alot with spinning out with putting the power down from standing still and out of corners, my tt-01 and xv-01 where breaking out and spinning out when apply to much throttle this one not. I have to repair a small crack in the body I ran at full speed over a twig. Edited May 14, 2020 by No brains 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Quick ERBE blast in the street, dang those things handle! Gotta hand it to Traxxas on that count. Then as I walk back in the front door my phone pings and I'm being offered a free Strada that was used three or four times before grinding to a halt after going through a puddle, result! Not been touched in four to five years! Edited May 14, 2020 by Tug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushmonkey Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Cleaned the buggy ready for my Green MSUK decals in post. Feel like they will look better than the blue or black I have atm. Also cover the melted spot on the body in the process 😎 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabollicks Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Took my XT2e out for a blast earlier and have managed to snap the upper suspension arm on the front left. Anyone know where I might be able to get XTM spares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Nothing to my RCs but built some of myWarhammer 40k Ork Nobz (yes that really is what they're called) and their Boss Ghazghkull and his sidekick Makari. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t normally do 40K, I tend to stick to Fantasy/Age of Sigmar (though I am currently painting the Chaos Space Marines start collecting set), but I adore that Ghazghkull mini. I just wish he was available on his own. One of my main armies is Orruks, I love painting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Chassis rails and wheels fitted. Now it's a complete operational chassis. Had a little go as it is and iff you give it the beans from a standing start it nearly flips (TBLE-02, Sport tuned motor and 20t pinion) need to build the speed up slowly. Also started painting some of this lot up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghaz model is great as is Ragnar however the box set I really don't think is worth it more so considering the Space Marines included with it don't fit with Space Wolfs. The only reason I got the box was because Element Games have cheaper than GW plus I had a fair amount of points saved up which made it a little more worth it.
