Nos rêves en 3D

This Caddy Cyclone version is beautiful !!!!

 

For the Bubbletop, how did you make it ? thermoforming ?

And for the wheel, how did you do the white on the tires ? 

 

[Exnerve]

Génial cette Cadillac Cyclone !! j'en veux une !!

[Atlantamodeller]

Bubbletop: The clear PETG is held it a frame , I turn on the shop vacuum, then warm with a heat gun. The PETG is slowly drawn into the volume of low air pressure. White walls: I hot glued a small piece of razor blade on to a compass and cut the piece from white decal paper. The next time I need white walls, I will 3D print an insert to fit into the tire.

I have attempted to resin cast the body but been unsuccessful. Next year I will get an Anycubic Mono X , the build volume is large enough to produce the body. I intend on producing it as a 3D printed/ resin cast kit. I will announce it here. 

[Exnerve]

😍

 

j'adore !!

 

comment sont fait les logo " Cadillac " ? 

[Atlantamodeller]

The Cadillac logos were made by drawing them in Inkscape, reducing them to 1/24th scale size and printing on clear decal paper - which has a clear film on the surface. Then floating them off in water, same as any kit decal.

You are doing a crazy and wonderfull job !!!!!!! 

i love it !

1/43rd? So much detail is lost. I will think about it.

Oldfield Cord tires on a 70 spoke triple laced Rudge Whitworth wire wheel in 1/24th scale for the Duesenberg 1921 French GP winner. The spokes are about .23 mm in diameter; which I have decided is too delicate. Back to the drawing board.

[philX]

Seems to be pretty good ... 

 

Which diameter for the wheel ?

Very good ! 

I can see some spokes broken, but if you increase a few his diameter...

You printed it in one loop ? 

 

 

[Atlantamodeller]

Wheel diameter is 27.11 mm, spokes were designed to be .3218 mm. I think if I increase the exposure time it would make thicker spokes. 

[Atlantamodeller]

Much work done, much more to do.

[Boblebric]

@Atlantamodeller how do you place the wire wheel in the 3D printer ? Is it verticaly, or obliquely ? Can you show us a screenshot of the chitubox (or other soft) placement, please.

[Atlantamodeller]

I experimented with angled and vertical placement with this wire wheel. They might have worked if the spokes were larger. I don't like the automatic positioning of supports, so I use Prusa SL1 to manually do that. Then export the file with supports to Photon Workshop to slice it.

[le vil coyote]

WOW ! 🧐

[Atlantamodeller]

Much progress, but much to do.

Great Scott! Nobody treats me Chiken! 😁

Ton travail est fantastique! j'ai adoré le travail de la bulle de la cadillac! Et les rayons de la Dusenberg...

Fyi, me, the spoked rims, I re-soak them in resin to thicken and smooth them 😉

 

U are our Guide 

Passez toutes et tous de bonnes fêtes, et à bien trop 🖐️

All parts have been assembled to make one last check to see if they fit before reducing to 1/24th scale. They will soon be "in the soup". I am wishing all here a Happy, Healthy, and Productive New Year.
