Re: Looking for 1:20 fuel inlet
well I guy may as well get one and throw it in the box for later , pretty cool this new stuff we have to work with , 3d print has changed the game on lost parts

Best quote is that it is too easy Thomassteinietrabi wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 1:50 pm 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.
Allways impressed by how fast you create such files, needs a lot of experience and you have a lot of it!
Lovely work and as Jaykay said, allmost impossible to do such part in a simple casting with a 2 parted mold, this ammount of details would only be possible with 2 parts put together, but not in a single piece, 3D printing offers so much oppertunities!
Take a stand!

Re: Looking for 1:20 fuel inlet
I don't find such small parts with standard geometries very complicated. They are quite easy to create.
If you then use the help of existing components from the kits.
For someone who can design 3D it's not rocket science.
I also like to help others with little things like this and would be happy if it helps you.

I know that this is not a very complex part to do, but your doing such things in a speed i can not imagine sometimes, remember the uprights we`re in, that`s too much with my littly experience, if i`m allowed to call it so!steinietrabi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 7:32 am I don't find such small parts with standard geometries very complicated.

Don`t play your skills down, some guys like myself would need hours or days to replicate such part in 3D, even with a partly simply geometric design.

Anyone that orders anything from Thomas will be pleased.Great Stuff!! Anyone building 20th scale Mclaren MP4s or Lotus 99-T should see his brake sets.
