Okay, I originally said I was going to start modeling all the parts on my 73 but that got put on hold. But, I got ahold of the SLA machine (friend did) at work and we made this, It's half the scale. What do you think?

* If anyone would like for me to model something, please send me a actual part or drawings with dimensions. PM me.

Let me look for it, That was done years ago and I think that file is on my old computer. If I can't find it, I will model it again. Should only take me an hour or so.

Thanks to Drew for finding the files. I printed out a couple of funnels on my printer and your drawing was spot on perfect. I'm very happy with the results. Now I guess the questions is there a big enough demand to make a run of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yes, ABS black plastic. I printed it on a makerbot to check for fit and tool path. If I make a bunch I will go to the Fortus industrial printer. Although the ones that I printed would work. They are plenty strong.

We also just bought a Romer 7 axis laser scanning arm to do rapid prototyping. Cool thing is we can scan an object, clean it up a little and go straight to STL and then print.

I was looking at the new 2 axis makerbot that is to be released this year. I'm also interested in a scanner by 3D3 "Flexscan" that uses white light or they call structured light. Any advice?

We are using Geo magic software with our scanner. For an inexpensive scanner we have also hooked up the XBox Kinects to the software and had good results. I don't have any experience with Flexscan but looks to be decent equipment.

Also just ordered the new Replicator II but it has not arrived yet. Hoping for better build quality.

I was checking out the availability of the rain funnels, and found them at Auto Atlanta for $14.00, so it doesn't look as though there would be a market to make a run of them. But it was fun to take your drawing and test it out. By the way, nice drawing, we did not have to do anything with it except rotate it to sit on the platform.

I like that kinect idea. I was only going to use their software not the camera. I was looking at MBII, that has a 8 week lead time. I really want the MB2x.

Thanks, all my models are .stl ready for proto-3Dprinting. I'm buiding a library of parts so when I get the printer I can keep it busy for awhile.

That's pretty much what I've found for many of these parts. There is some cool technology to make one off parts inexpensively, but any time you up the volume the manufacturing cost is the same. One part for $14, is cool. 100 parts, + cost of equipment and other incedentals is $1300+. There is no real economy of scale, but great if you need a part now and have the talent to draw, or can scan a good one.

I have about 4 hours into this (so far) just by sketching from pictures. When I retrieve a real wheel I will take measurements and revise as needed. The 5 Lug Mahle is a complex wheel, especially the reverse side?!

that looks like you have a hand held handle for the kinect. are you able to use it as a hand held scanner, and get multiple angles?

Can you get your 914 into work and scan the body? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
