The strength is in the way you layer the masking tape  Lol

Looks good !

 

Once your workflow is solid it actually becomes fun. A special slow type of fun as you wait for the print.

 

Honestly though, you've done very well with that shape, printing a high level layer needs a well set up printer



Anyone Have A Projects On The Go? - coxylaad - 14-04-2023

its been a learning curve. 

 

Once this is done im going to make a new fairing set for the TDM to bring it into the 2020's

Do your 3d printer and design skills stretch to a jim'll fix it badge with a tweak to bob'll fix it?

It's a work place piss take thing and worthy if a donation to your local air ambulance or something.

Anyone Have A Projects On The Go? - coxylaad - 14-04-2023

certainly can, I'll knock one up

Looking forward to that ! :good:

 

 

I'm interested because I want to do a similar thing to my 640 as this dude did... just some different side panels and headlight surround but it made a world of difference https://caferacergarage.eu/ktm-lc4-640-scrambler-by-man-the-machines/amp/

 

Short video of the build

As the article says, he's head of external geometry for BMW, I like the fact he didn't choose a BMW bike....I wonder if BMW bikes will ever look that good ?

Fantastic that Coxy, brilliant

 

 

I take my hat off to you :good:

I remember that one. I think the potential for 3d printing bike parts is huge, and limited to your design and software modelling skills

 

I now have a 400mm x 400mm x 400mm printer so can knock out some fairly substantial parts.  Eventually I'd like to built a huge 800mm cubed core XY printer so I can print full fairing sides in one go.

Thats a custom bodypanel shop in the making ! You could even emboss people's choice of words or graphics into panels easily enough !

starting add more detail for the airscoops

some smart arse noted that I put the Honda wing on back to front....
Fantastic work Laaad. My only comment, and it's not a criticism, but to my blind eyes, the line between the 2 panels doesn't appear to match any other lines on the body/frame  :dunno:


Anyone Have A Projects On The Go? - coxylaad - 22-04-2023

Good observation Al, but they do. You just cant see it on that picture. The top surface of the air scoops runs parallel with the seat unit, and also there a matching rad cowling to go on too.

Ready for summer Ian ?


Anyone Have A Projects On The Go? - coxylaad - 23-04-2023

My first thoughts are the red is awful, I ran out of black filament it was all i had left. 

 

next thought is that I could have made the mouth of the airscoop a bit deeper, however its been designed to fit neatly with the rad shroud that I built.

for some unknown reason I built the test air scoop on the opposite side of the test radiator cowl. what a nob!

Yep, got the bigger picture  :pimp:

Them's some pretty bloody good skill going on there! :good:

Do the printing lines rub down ok on that material?



Anyone Have A Projects On The Go? - Studley Ramrod - 24-04-2023

I agree, the guys got skills, no doubt 🤟

those are prototype test parts, take an age to print, but still all destined for the bin!

 

The final product will be printed in ABS, the same material the manufacturers use for their body panels. With ABS you can spray a mist of acetone over the part and it melts the top surface down to form a nice smooth glossy finish.

alledgedly!
