    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    There are a few types to plastic that are used. The most common is PLA which is what I’m using. It’s pretty tuff when your printer settings are spot on, you can refine the quality of print you can make. I soaked a throttle arm in nitro fuel for a few days and it did nothing to it. more detail...

    My first true rc related print that works and was practical since I broke the original throttle arm (old and brittle). No idea how PLA can withstand nitro oil... Pretty proud of myself! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know. I’m a happy person. I used to have everything copied, but i wiped it clean and forgot to copy the models again. I messed up good. My flying season is now, I know it’s not the end of the world, but my ship just capsized lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh boy.... just deleted a model off my tx on accident... nooooooooooooo (lazer230z!) why couldn’t have been one I don’t care about!!! Darnit! Very frustrating. And no it wasn’t copied, I was trying to copy another model but I didn’t see that it defaulted to overwrite a current model. Crud crud...

    Kinda bittersweet but I had to let it go. Ultimate hangar queen. Carl Goldberg .60-90 size 64” span kit Super Chipmunk. I covered it in the joe “fang” maroney color scheme. It’s been sitting in my shop for maybe 9 years. The sad thing is that it’s on its third engine and never flown. Taken it to...

    Maybe I need to start a 3D printing thread... Seems like there is a lot of interest and a few folks doing it here as well. It'll be nice once I get things dialed in. The amount of things (useless and useful) are endless. My mind has tons of ideas!

    Under $500 with extra filament, There are a lot of promo codes out there for this printer on youtube, just got to wait... then wait a little over a month to get it from china. I decided on the CR-10S because its the most bang for the buck for a noob I thought. There is a large following which is...

    Thanks.... Well I do cheat. Thingiverse.com has a bunch of stuff I can download and print. I’m really just learning how to set the parameters and coding. I have printed one thing that was similar to what I was trying to recreate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Been learning this 3D printer stuff. Pretty large learning curve for me. Teaching myself 3D CAD, and the 3D printer... speeds, flow rates, temps, bed leveling, bed temp, calibration... not to mention getting parts to stick and replacing an underrated capacitor!! Wow Slowing getting this thing...

    My LHS buddy has a H9 P51 60cc in the box, wants me to put it together to hang in the shop. Sounds like a good idea considering the level of quality for a non-airworthy machine.

    Sounds like Hitec put their 16 channel on the back burner and channeling their focus back to servos due to a flooded Tx market. So I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for a new Hitec radio anytime soon unfortunately. I guess they even had a prototype made though.
