Gaz! Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Does anyone make up a trailer kit? I haven’t much 3d printing knowledge to be fair but I thing it could be a winner if someone did some hub that will take standard sized bearing and be able to use generic out drives such as Axial or Tamiya leaving to chassis and load area to be sourced unless these could be printed too. there’s a market for them I reckon, loads of people want them but they are expensive (some more than the cost of the rig that’s pulling it. cheers.

Ag100 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Considering a 3d printer, is the Anycubic Photon mono 4k any good (resin printer). is there a recommended design programme (preferably free)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) What sort of parts are you looking to produce with it? If you want to create “engineering” parts then Fusion 360 is pretty good and has a free hobbyist licence you should be ok to use. If you want to produce nicer looking models for things like minatures or more organic designed then blender might be a better place to start.

I have bought 3d printed scale dash gauges and little scale parts, so things like that, I just quite fancy the idea of it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) That sounds like the sort of thing a resin printer should be good for. I’ve not used one myself but I think you might need something for doing a final UV cure of the resin part once it’s been washed. I believe we have a separate machine for doing that into go with the resin printer we have at work. I’m sure I’ve read about some printers having some sort of extra cure function built in too.

You can get Solidworks student for a mere tenner if you search around. It's an excellent CAD package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shergar Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 That’s the first one I’ve seen that actually resembles a Renault Magnum! Just fabulous 👍 Was it a paid print? I guess it bolts to the front crossmember and rests on the rails at the back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
