Casting parts??? Level Up!!! Awesome!!
Yeah only the test models will be 3d printed. Once I have something I like I will cast a few duplicates to give to beta testers to play with. I think I will do 10 beta testers.
Thank You for the Level Up
I have been casting rubber for a while. It is the best way in my opinion to get copies of tires for old robots like the omnibot 2000 for example.
If you can spare the time...I guess a tutorial on how to do this would interest a lost of people, including myself!!
Yeah Sure, I will take bunches of pictures when I am making the wheels , tires and tracks for this first prototype and use those for a tutorial.
Just realized I hadn't commented on this project. I definitely want to follow it. This is going to be epic!
Update: the first parts are being printed. Two 6.2 inch wheels. The left printer seems to have missed a step one time so I may need to tighten my bets but it is usable at least for testing and such , a mm or so off is not detrimental to the looks.i have both the Robo 3D R1 plas dusted off for this.
i will pick back up soon on the FT6 for printing the larger body pieces as one.
79% printed , it looks like this will be about a 24 hour print at .2mm
At this rate it is a months worth of printing. I think more printers will certainly speed up making these models for testing and such. Especially since I need to print a few for betas. I am thinking I am going to need some more printers of this size. Fortunately the Ender 3 printers start at 170 so maybe I can get some additional ones to make the print time a little more manageable.
