1970 dodge truck 3d print

[mike s]

This is my 3d printed 1/25 truck, did it at home on a ultimaker 2+ and Sketchup. will post more pic soon

[DrKerry]

That is super nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[espo]

Are you printing the cab and the bed both ? How thick is it compared to the original kit ? How about the frame ?

[oldcarfan]

You've kind of dropped a bomb on us all! LOL! Everyone is going to want details. I'll start with this; Is that how it looked coming right out of the printer? Really nice.

[gtx6970]

Impressive is an understatement

 

Whats your plans with this. 

 

If ths is a master for resin casting...keep me in mind

[Super28]

I'd like to know more about 3D printing myself

 

[JollySipper]

AWESOME......!! I used to own a 1:1 '71 D100........... These Sweptlines are cool................. 

[mikemodeler]

That is awesome and I am very impressed with the cleanliness of it. Like others, I would be interested to know more about this and if you plan to make it available to others.

[mod3l Lover]

   You have to make a mold of that truck, that's all

there is to it!!

   I look forward to seeing the progress on this one.

No not printing both cab and bed together. Using a 74 truck kit for parts.You need think of it as a old revell kit, print it flat. If you print in pla it will sand like a rock. Print in abs that is model plastic. I print in  pla for test shots and abs for the final result

the  sides are printed with a .6mm tip at speed 50. comes out like 220 to 100 grit. I only use the outer shell not the back, set printer to a thicker shell. 6mm Tip x2 =  .047 inch outer shell.  Small parts printed at .25 tip at 15 to 25 speed sand out with 400.I can print down to a .013 line. Printing it will give a good start both sids will be the same right or wrong

[Super28]

OK, I'm impressed!

 

[wrecker388]

Awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only person on here who has been using a 3d printer for model parts. Yours are a whole lot better quality than mine though.

[wrecker388]

I seriously need to get a spool of ABS filament. PLA is sandable, but like you said it is a rock.

[espo]

Wow. I can see so many uses including having spare parts to have for back up.

[DrKerry]

So are you going to send this for casting at all? If so I'd be interested in a copy for sure!!!!

[Ken Kitchen]

WOW what can I add that hasn't already been said. I know are you willing to share the files so those of us that have 3D printers can try it ourselves? if so I'd be interested in giving it a try.

[mike s]

.thanks guys for the kind comments. Wall keep you posted on the progress

[landman]

Is this project still ongoing?

[Carmak]

Very nice work! I have been thinking about printing a retro camper but I have been to busy with other projects to model it up.

Which cad program did you use to model you truck? Would you be willing to share STL files?

Very very cool...!

[MrObsessive]

WOW! How'd I miss this one??

Not my favorite year of truck, BUT from what I see VERY well done! I've been saying for while now............THIS is the next wave of the hobby like it or not!

 

[Slotto]

I would be interested in the files too! My public library has 4 3D printers! Print all you want for 2 hours for free

[Jonathan]

This is epic.

[Ben269]

I like these trucks.  This is a very cool choice for a project.
