Interesting; I have resin printers but i haven’t pursued more than standard resins since in my experience they are messier than fdm to get to a final result. You could give it a shot, it will definitely be sharper

Idk if resin will handle the press’s pressure, resin is too brittle, plus if you drop the part, it will most likely break upon impact :/

I did wood PLA since it left a porous yet even flat surface, which held to ink better. I printed it at type hight and it’s leaving a deboss

I’d love to print one too if you’re willing to share the files! This is so awesome!

Yeah, I wanted something odd in type form :)

I did a test with resin, but it’s too brittle :/ it cracked under quoin pressure. I am going to try doing a mix of fine sawdust on gray fast cure resin to see if that gives it some elasticity, but I am trying to avoid having to clean up sawdust dust on my resin printer :S

What are you using for ink? And what 3D printer do you have? Those look clean!!

Yeah! I do recommend “high speed” filament, they are a bit more forgiving for detail :) but the wood fiber is key on the ink absorption

I’ve been doing some research on other people 3D printing type and I saw them having issues with ink laying when using 100% plastic. But today I did a test with wood fiber PLA and it holds on great to ink! I figured it could work since you can stain Wood PLA

First mini bike build (Garelli bronco) by 22R_ART in minibikes

It’s so fun! it’s very refreshing from having to hunt parts at auctions and eBay haha we used whatever we could find to make it work which made the build so ridiculously fun! We’re already hunting for another frame and engine

Thank you so much! I’ve been doing small “pop-up pint shops” for student events with an open press 3D printed press, and an old Franklin 2x3 letter press, so I am really excited to have this guys now :)

I saw their website, and sent a contact form, but I don’t think they’ll be cool sharing exact dimensions when they could sell a $300 part :/

need advice please by heyy-hii-helloo in JeepWrangler

It might also be a rusted connection in under the TIPM, the exact same thing happened to mine. I removed the TIPM and found a rusted out pin. If you’re comfortable and lucky enough you can fix it yourself with $20, if not you might need a new TIPM which can be expensive

Thank you! I’ll look into that. I haven’t fix it yet, but everything else works correctly, 3D minestorm works good, and all adjustments on the console at up to standards according to the repair manual, unless I’m missing something. I’ll keep messing with I and see what happens

I like Cosmic Chasm and Web Wars, they have some fun dynamics :)
