Only on special occasions. Most of the time if my ESC is still in a case I just solder it with my dean's plug. On this one though the dean's plug is all the way in the back.

I was never happy with the grill area of the Scout and now that my new 3D printer is here I decided that I wanted to fix that. So my very first part off the 3d printer that was designed and produced (not just a test print) was a new grill!

The grill was the first part I printed to make sure I was capable of printing whatever parts I was looking for, and now that I was comfortable with that I decided to shoot a video of the process for anyone who isn't all that familiar with it.

As an exercise in ridiculousness I came up with a simple part that the Scout was missing to print and install...

Nice work with the cup holder!

What layer resolution did you print that at? I dont think I heard in the video. And is that ABS or PLA? Thanks!

That piece was done from PLA with a 0.3mm resolution for speed. I have ABS here but haven't printed any of it yet.

Thanks for the info, so you think you could save on some 'finishing' work if you went with a higher resolution like .1-.2mm? Granted I know the print would take longer and total finishing time was literally 30 seconds. Just curious

I think it would pay off more on parts that were contoured more, I am not positive but I don't think that the layer height would have changed the finish of the very top. Again I could be totally wrong. I think adjusting temperature could help it flow together more and possible smooth the finish a little.

I have printed all of 4 parts now with this thing so I am in the newborn phase.

Shinjari · 02-20-2014, 04:24 PM

Well I'm debating on which printer for my 3d printer purchase so I look forward to any parts you make. So far its really promising.

Anyways back to building! =) Digging the metal interior.

Last nights project, try designing and printing a piece that has a more organic shape. The Scout was the intended subject and the dash was the piece I chose to attempt.

This is the top half of the design, it will get a second piece that will glue to the bottom.

I printed it at the same thick layer height, I wasn't even sure the piece was going to fit for sure. I was thinking I would print another version if this one fit. However I think I'm just going to smooth sand this one.

2JSC · 03-01-2014, 10:22 AM

That is pretty killer man. I could geek out and try designing all kinds of stuff, so much so I would be printing out things for around the house. Very very cool.

62PYRO · 03-01-2014, 10:56 AM

Nice.

I'm assuming the printer takes .STL files.

Yup, export from SW to STL and import into the slicer.

Szczerba · 03-01-2014, 11:07 AM

Cool piece for sure.

Watched Harley design, cuss and print this piece last night on his Google Hangouts channel.
