Good to see about your 3D printing experinces... What printer do you use? I'm planning for one, and I'm not sure what model to go for. Also it seems that resin 3D printing may require a second type of printer...

I'm very interested by a 3d printer. And a 3d scanner to can have a second set of tbird rims. And lot of other tuning parts.

Silvertriple, I brought a Flashforge Creator Pro. There is a Pro II but they are more money. They had good reviews and are pretty good out of the box. Its fully enclosed and has very minimal assembly and 2 print heads. As I know nothing i thought it best to get one that I didnt have to mess about with too much, There are much better ones but this one was affordable to me. 


 

My re-re Bronco (bought new in 08' a Pajero) needed some love.
I have put aside servicing it for too long now..

Pulled it from the shelf

One of the front uprights has been broken for a while

Used these, same as the blue ones, just in black.

New one installed.

Swapped out the other one just in case..

A good while ago I replaced the worn stock plastic links with 4 link mounts from ebay and made the links myself.

It has also been missing a servo for a while so I fitted a spare one and made a new link with left over bits.

I started a Tamiya, exclusive for men, jewellery fashion line. 







Yep weather no good and nothing better to do 

Yeahhh awesome Sander. I had the idea for the cross key. But the brasselet is top. I'll make one to.

Classic Man Jewellery I like it.  I don't have enough parts to do one yet.  

SO today I spent the first 2 hours organising work for next week, very tedious!  After that I went to our local £1 store and got myself some jumbo car sponges so I can finish the Lunchy and Big Bear tyre packing as the pipe insulation isnt working as well as I hoped. Took the 2nd front Lunchy wheel off the printer, it came out really clean.  Only 2 rears to go! 

 

I ordered a replacement Falcon shell and a Mini shell from Kamtec and a heated case for the new filament I ordered (its hygroscopic so needs to be kept dry) Going to attempt to fix a missing piece of wheel rim on a Lunchbox wheel as they are in good condition apart from that. Got to check the Lunchbox shell in the garage. Will update..

Now I'm having a chillout and some food.

Ive noticed that these uprights do seem to break a lot, i remember on my ta02 Ford f-150 those broke often, they seem to be a common piece too!

The funny thing it lasted all the years and miles it has spent on the trail.
But shelf life seem to have made it broken, or it broke just as I was finished driving last time, whenever that was.
Don't rememember the last time it was used, probl 8 years or so..

These uprights tend to brake Because the plastic is very hard and the hole for the screwed ball is too short. Just need to drill a little bigger or invest in alloy ones
