Fred Flintstone's sidekick...…. Barney Rubble

BamBam Rubble

The Rubbles...…. Barney, Betty and BamBam



Barney's scale is out of wack. I'll print one of bigger size later. Right now I am on a Radial Piston Engine model.

8 Cylinders Radial Piston Engine

Parts printed, to be assembled


Assembled model. All pistons move manually by turning the handle at the other side of the engine block

The reunion..... the Flintstones and the Rubbles



P.S. Barney is a new print. Last one was too small. And now, Betty looks too petite and Wilma too tall. Oh well.

Harley Davidson Evolution Engine

There are parts missing and fitting is not good. I did a lot of filing and sanding accompanied by crescendos of swearing.
I guess I was spoiled by the precision fittings of model car kits.

The Trinidad

One of those "mind teasing" models.

This one has 6 rings which are printed from one gcode file. They move independently and yet maintain as one unit.

Spiderman


The fitting was atrocious. The body consists of 3 parts. 1 part to be in red and 2 parts to be in blue. Boots and base are separate parts.
When putting the body parts together, there was a 1/32" gap along the seams. Had to cover it with polyfill before I could hand paint it.
Spent 2 hours printing the base and turned out to be incompatible. Useless. Had to improvise by printing a circular base for it.

Came out good looking but always sucks when feels like almost done and find out some pretty big errors like that in the model/export. Had similar problems with one of the ed-209 models had to scale some things to fit properly and still ended up redoing the top leg parts cause the original ones were too fragile at the scale I used.

Captain America

It is safe to say that he is having a very very very bad day?










P.S. The base is from Spiderman stl file. I use it for this model with a little improvisation. Why? Because the base meant for this model consists of 2 parts, each part requires 7hrs.+ to print. 15 hours just for the base? Nuts!

Only I could have done that...….

I have been printing a "man of war" type of war ship. So, I had all 15 parts of the ship's body printed. I glue them together, poly-filled the gaps, and painted it.
Only then I realized I forgot about the canyons. All 34 of them!!! This warship is not going to scare any pirates, I'm afraid.
Well! Start over again.
What a dummy. Guess I can't claim myself "a stable genius" anymore.

A buddy of mine found a fixed wing in the woods where he works and I got it to bind up and it sort of almost flies. Long story short I had to print some parts for it but now trying to design and build my own plane (I have no idea what I'm doing so this should be interesting). Learning from ecalc.ch as usual and looking at other people's designs for inspiration buy just winging it (pun totally intended)

 

[wafflejock]

In hindsight I should have had the support ribs go through the cylinders that are meant to hold rods to put the wings on the fuselage but learning as I go here.

The warship hull makes up of 3 decks...… bottom, middle and upper.
As luck would have it, 2 of the 3 parts of the upper deck came unglued. That exposed the middle deck. So, now I could put in the cannons to the middle deck. All 14 of them.
Bottom deck is glued tight, no chance for its 14 cannons.
I decided to finish the model instead of starting over.
So the ship is missing 14 cannons. I can always dream up a reason for it, however stupid it might sound. Learnt it from the guy in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
That reminds me. Have to make an appointment with my doctor for a Kung-Flu shot!

Multi-colour vase using my new printer Tronxy XY-2 Pro.

The multicolor is pretty sweet one day might add some multimaterial stuff.

Recently been doing work on my diy machine to take full advantage of the rails to get biggest possible build volume and just tighten up the quality but now need to adjust my partially 3d printed shelving solution. Going to make it shorter which will make it more stable and just wider.... Will make sense in a few days when I get it done.
