My third RR10 Bomber build..

Kaler · 03-04-2017, 06:45 PM

Wheels for the green Chevy showed up today.

Full Throttle Rob · 03-05-2017, 04:47 PM

Today I went and saw my friend Josh at Beneath The Bark Woodworking - Custom Furniture and Cabinetry - Bath Maine to get some wood veneer for the beginning of the 10-II's XJ body mods.

I spent a half hour sorting through his veneer scraps until I found the perfect pieces to do the "Woody" effect along the center of the beltline.

I chose a Black Walnut with a tiger stripe pattern for the panels.
Then I chose a tight grained White Maple to cut into strips for the borders of each individual panel.

I found 2 walnut strips that were definitely cut consecutively from the same board because they are 99.9999% identical.
That way both sides will look identical!
I'm using a solid piece between the wheel wells so the grain pattern is disturbed only by the maple trim.

These will be absolutely gorgeous with 3 coats of clear gloss poly on them.

I'll be using Shoe Goo to glue them on.

Stay tuned!

Whoa....

robertjpjr · 03-17-2017, 08:01 PM

Still needs wire management / calibration. The assembly is complete though.
Waiting for the filament to arrive, then I can make my first print!
I'll try my hand eventually at printing RC prints. I imagine there will be a learning curve...

I'm anxious to hear how you like that one. The main con about that, besides being a kit, is that the frame is plastic.

I'm working on perfecting these Ford OEM wheels.

The cool thing about a design flaw or weakness is, that somebody has printed a part that fixes it.
I've seen a few parts I plan on printing to sturdy up the chassis.

robertjpjr · 03-18-2017, 04:11 PM

Wire management done for now. Assembled the filament holder. I need to fine tune the bed. Filament should be here Monday! Then I can start printing.

Sweet! How long did it take to build?

Just a few hours. With tinkering / learning as I went.. Probably 5 hours.
Assembly was about 3. 2 for wire management / playing with the software, detail stuff.

Installing the VP Currie "RockJocks" to my RR10..

Kaler · 03-20-2017, 05:09 PM

Decided to move the battery in the 10-2, didn't like where it was. This should be much better.

Full Throttle Rob · 03-20-2017, 07:10 PM

I started cutting the veneer for the XJ Woody.

The pics do it absolutely zero justice...
Without the flash, the color isn't as bold.
With it, it's hard to see the colors past the reflective capacity of the tiger stripes.

After some research I found that the woodgrain effect is not bordered on all sides of each panel(fender, doors, rear quarters), but is bordered on the top and bottom of the woodgrain effect along the entire length of the belt line.

Like this:

So, I guess I'll do a strip along the top and bottom, and draw the door and fender seams on with a black pen.
Maybe???

robertjpjr · 03-20-2017, 08:31 PM

Printed my first object!! Pretty psyched!!

Ummm..... what is it??

robertjpjr · 03-21-2017, 04:28 PM

Lol it's just a test cube cylinder thingy.
I plan on print some RC parts later.
Wheel hex's, sliders, shock hoops. Just for fun. See how they perform.
