Basement Resin printed parts

[JS23U]

Hi fellows, I just put up a shapeways shop with the stuff I designed. All are 1:25 parts, mostly wheels, wheel covers and hubcaps. I will slowly expand the line. Thanks for watching. Remove my post if not appropriate.

Mr Mopar: I didn't have that plan yet, but it is not out of the world. They don't look too difficult. Could you help with good photos and some dimensions? If so, please send me a pm.

If I may make a suggestion: One of the frustrations I've had in this area is that the objects are TOO faithfully reproduced. If the wheel cover needs areas painted black, fo instance, I would very much appreciate if those areas had exaggerated depth to aid in painting. I plan to do exactly what you're doing, and I've added this feature to all my drawings. Note the extra depth I've added on this one to allow easier painting:

I'm very excited about what you're doing!

[JS23U]

Tom, you are exactly right. The art about it is to find the sweet spot where you are able to paint the part and not make it look toy-like because you exaggerated too much. Usually you will need (at least) one loop to get it right.

See attachment for the current version of my "Bullitt" wheel cover. I had them chromed and I expect that I will be able to detail paint the recesses. The shown covers are prototype parts printed on a private printer in grey resin.

If anyone of my future customers might not be happy with the design I beg him to contact me and give me feedback. Thanks!

Are those Dodge 3/4 Ton Truck Hubcaps/Wheels in the 11th pic?

I need a set of those, and with Rookie Resin closed, nobody seems to be making them.

[JS23U]

Yes, they are Dodge truck caps. They fit my 16 inch steel wheels as pictured.

[stavanzer]

Okay.

Now I need a set.

[JS23U]

Here is an example a friend of mine printed on his personal printer. My Dodge truck hubcap installed on one of my 16.5" rims. The tire is the two piece item out of the AMT F-350 Star Truk.

Second picture is the same rim and tire but with my wheel hub.

I just wanted to post that I requested the Pontiac Rally II wheels in 1/16. In a matter of days they were to my door. A+ thank you once again

[JS23U]

Thanks Rich, my pleasure!

Yes, they are. Look into my shop, link is in the first posting.

[JS23U]

For those who haven't taken a look into my shop. I have a few other items for sale, not just wheels.

-69 SC/Rambler grille. The kit has a 66 grille as it was based on the 66 annual

-Chevrolet tailgate for converting the GMC 1/25 kit

-Enduro wheels for the parts pack motorcycles

-White 4000/9000 grill. You will have to source a hood to convert a Diamond REO or similar into a White

-Chevy truck hubcaps/hubs for use with the 16" wheels in my shop (the same wheels as used for my Dodge truck caps)

 

Slowly expanding...

[JS23U]

New item:

1968/69 AMC Javelin and AMX engine bay. Includes the four "walls" as one piece, plus separate parts for radiator, blower motor, master cylinder, wiper motor.
The last two pictures show the parts "as printed", with runners.

The shape is correct for 1968/69 Javelin and AMX and is designed for the Johan kits. The parts will work with the 1970 model year (and maybe even 1971 to 74) as well but wouldn't be correct. The shock towers changed for 1970, among other smaller things.

If you want to use the kit chassis, the front inner wheel wells need to be removed. Expect a little adjustment work on body and chassis.

Wow! I definitely did not expect to see that offered in resin or 3D, but I'm glad I saw it now...And ordered one immediately.

I've had Shirley Shahan's Drag-On-Lady SS AMX stalled for years because of the lack of proper engine bay. I was trying to find a decent starting point for making one myself, but never got to it. This looks like it will make things a lot easier.

I also ordered a set of those Dragster wheels. Interesting to see how they look in person.

now that shapeways is gone will you have another source to get get your product, I found the Jav engine compartment too late.

[JS23U]

Hi Joseph, I haven't made up my mind yet what to do. I don't have a printer, so I'd have to use a platform similar to shapeways. I haven't found one yet, but I haven't searched for one either, so far. Maybe I will offer just the files for sale, and the buyer prints them on his/her own. There are several platforms for this.

Thanks for your interest!

[thatz4u]

Now if someone would make 1970 AMX bumpers/grille in 1/25th for Johan kits

[JoeK]

Please keep us informed on what you do.

Thanks

Shapeways is Gone?

I do not pay much attention to these things, so I missed this. When did this happen?

[JS23U]

About a month ago.

The homepage still works, and as of today I even can load my own page on their platform. It wasn't possible or awfully slow the last few days. Maybe this is a good sign ?!

Their homepage doesn't give any hint that there might be something wrong. Chapter 7 doesn't seem to mean all things will stop and go down the river. Maybe they will recover...
