Looking for 1:20 fuel inlet

[Paul_OFarrell]

Hi All,

Hoping someone may be able to help me with a spare fuel inlet piece for Tamiya's 1:20 Jordan 191. It's the small circular piece which is located directly behind the roll hoop.

I could even entertain the idea of buying the full kit instead if someone has a spare 191 kit available.

Thanks in advance...

Do you mean this one?
Part B1

If so, what would you think if I 3D recreated and printed it?

[jaykay]

I have that piece left over if you want it.
If Thomas does a printed version if will be better/more accurate though

Yes steinietrabi, that is the piece I’m looking for. If you were to 3D print it that would be fantastic. Let me PM you so we can discuss further.

Many thanks for your kind offer Jaykay. I will go with the 3D printed option for now, but will keep your offer in mind when you are searching for a part I can help you with.

That's the 3d model...

Sorry for the hijack, but are you using a 3d scanner to make a 3d model of that so quickly or are you creating it from scratch?

[steinietrabi]

I have a scanner, but I don't use it for things like this. That's too easy. Here I simply used a caliper, eyesight and 2 reference images.

That looks really good.

That part is too small for a 3D scanner to get a useful scan and the Tamyia part isn't accurate because it's made for injection molding with a simple 2-part mold.
The accurate part Thomas created couldn't be made that way.
