Lefty ...

Post by Bantum » Mon Jan 12, 2015 8:41 pm

Doh ! - keep meaning to change that ... :rolleyes:

You could say that it is just for the lefties among us I suppose, ( that's what you get when you just cut & paste things ) as it was like that from the original ... :o

I'll have to change that wont I ... ;)

Bantum, you may have a rising opponent, time to put the squeeze on Subaru Japan.

Pigs might fly ...

Post by Bantum » Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:38 pm

Yeah well pigs might fly, but I'll wait till it actually happens ... :p

I recon Subaru could build a XV-Ute fairly quick & will be better, lighter than that Hyundai thing + have 4WD to boot !

It's depressing the state of things, as it has come to 'shirt fronting' Subaru to do their work ... :rolleyes:

Just Print it ...

Post by Bantum » Sun Apr 05, 2015 2:17 am

I didn't get very far with trying to cast it, so I ended up going and getting it 3D printed - following is the trial example :

The Printers :

Note : These are not mine, they belong to 'The Edge' QLD State Library ...

Fitting ...

Post by Bantum » Sun Apr 05, 2015 2:59 am

Test fitted to the TT-01 Chassis :

Fitted Strait up :

Image

Spacers :

Image

Note : the larger one will need longer shaft ...

I may have stuffed up the offset, will have to wait until I've done the body to see how well it sits up against the fenders ...

Ciao, Bantum ...

More ...

Post by Bantum » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:53 am

Thanks Bennie ... :D

Sorry should have said they are not my printers - they belong to 'The Edge' QLD State Library ... :oops: They have some other handy machines there too ... ;)

Those four 'Up's' are the main ones being used atm - they also have more in progress of being built ( 4 Prusa i3's ) plus a half dozen relics floating around the basement ... :roll:

I'm eventually going to build my own, reckon I can get it down to about $ 500 for all the bits required - just takes time to build it ... ;)

I've still got heaps more subi bits to recreate & print so they will be busy ... :mrgreen:

Will have an update when I get back on it ... :twisted:

In that print it looks like the printers isn't calibrated right. Needs more filament feed.

Testing ...

Post by Bantum » Fri Sep 25, 2015 12:33 pm

Printing it the wrong way round doesn't help either - that one was face down, while the others I have done face up ... :)

Also this was a 'fast' test print primarily to check if it works, so will eventually reprint them @ smaller layer interval with higher infill density, but it will take longer to print ... :(

It's a bit of trial end error on these things as I'm still learning how to use them ... :D
