The Hardware I've Made With My 3D Printer Thread!

[sjb266]

Hey all..

I recently acquired a 3D printer for the sim motion project and I've become obsessed with it.. always thought it was a bit of a gimmick and people just printed crap models that looked rubbish..

I couldn't have been more wrong.. although there are limitations in the quality of finish department, having a 3D printer to make whatever I want is amazing...!

Like VR, I think sim racing and 3D printing are a match made in pitlane .....did I really just write that?!!

Anyway... there is always some little part that I think might work or wish I could try... now I can just make it and either test it as a prototype... or just use it! It's Awesome!

So post all you pics of things you've made for sim racing with your 3D printer..

I'll start with an enclosure for my Ascher Racing Button Plate O18L which originally comes with just a carbon fibre plate so all the wiring is exposed on the back.. Martin was kind enough to send me the .dxf and I made an printed an enclosure. Through a few iterations it's pretty much spot on.. The pics here are as printed but I might paint it at some point...

**** All PLA unless otherwise stated ****

Dont forget support eh.

Which exactly, there's multiple processes and techniques being used pending the part.



Ya i could do that, The Larger tubes are for the China "Air Intake" tubes, they go for like 8$ for 3' and are rigid and hold their Shape/position and thread onto the Splitter for an Air Tight fit.

If you could put the .stl on thingiverse or similar, I'd be eternally grateful as it'll save me a job!

SORRY didn't see the link...thanks so much!!

for sure man, No worries. Mine came out strong enough that i can stand on them both vertically and horizontally, lol I guess i could have gone slightly less infill,

The Smaller Hose is for the HomeDepot 1.5" Sump Pump Drain Hose (15$ for like 25')

Haha. Did you print single nozzle to bed, or 3 nozzles to bed orientation? And is it just the 3 fins inside the main nozzle that required support...the rest looks printable without?

Ah, Those are engraved into the plate then a fill in technique with desired color of paint.

Yes its only the 3 fins inside that need support, and im not following you on the "single nozzle to bed or 3 nozzles to bed orientation" care to rephrase that, thanks

I've just looked back at your previous post and noticed you'd included an image of the supports..that I'd not seen when I last looked.

All clear now!

Great work

I've made some addons for my rig in 3D printed black ABS: a hood for the dash mini-monitor, a module on the left of the steering wheel for wiper and other functions, curved pads for my pedals, an ergonomic paddle for my Ascher Racing rally shifter... Some of these pieces were sanded, treated with epoxi resin and painted with spray.

Some really awesome stuff here, makes me embarrassed to post the basic stuff that I have been pulling off Thingverse, but will echo my love for the 3D printer acquisition, such a handy tool.

 

[RCHeliguy]

Very impressive work! I'm still waiting for the right project that gets my interest to pull the trigger on a 3D printer.

I was in the same boat, then decided on the SFX100.

Yeah, that might push me over the edge

For now I'll make do with my NLRv3. I'm pretty happy with it right now and I LOVE the form factor. It is a lot of immersion for it's size. If I felt unhappy with it, I would have more motivation. I've started thinking about some of the things I could potentially do with a 3D printer, and I did have a few small things come to mind, but nothing I care deeply about, YET.

How is your SFX-100 coming along? Nevermind, I looked in the SFX-100 thread.

What 3D printer did you get and how are you liking it?

And do you have any plans to build other things with it?

I bought the Creality Ender 2 for £95 and so far have printed out 9 of the (easily) printed parts required for the SFX100.
I have 15 more to go (which are the parts that will take many many hours to print).

When I got it I thought I would buy it solely for the SFX100 and then sell it again, but since I have started to use it I have realised how good it is and that I will think of other things to make (not sure what yet though), so will probably keep it.
