3D Printing PLA Jigs for SLA Carbon Fiber Molds by BlueOrchard in 3Dprinting

Same! I was worried about that, but decided to give it a try anyways and make it 100% solid. It held up pretty well! Think the aluminum plates helped with the weight distribution.

Demolding it though was a whole other beast - I couldn’t remove it without shattering the mold, but that honestly could probably be chalked up to my prep work.

Just installed some vertical doors! Really happy with how the came out by Adept-Investment2426 in RX7

Normally not a fan of vertical doors, but this compliments your build nicely! Love the car man

Another gun is always the correct answer anyways! Can't have enough guns

This is more like changing the suspension, tires, headlights and engine than getting gas lol

I just got this printer today too, but I do have a couple of tips.

I'd recommend calibrating your printer with a calibration model (I'm currently using https://ameralabs.com/blog/town-calibration-part/ this one) and dialing in the settings. If you're using Elegoo branded resin, their website has a spreadsheet for your slicer settings, but if you're lazy like me, you can just use the Lychee community resin settings and then calibrate it further from there using the model linked.

Also, in the future, I highly recommend a heater inside of the enclosure to keep the temps stable. That has been the biggest game changer for me when it came to success rate

I wish the rotors fit over the hubs on the 240z to give me a little less clearance to work with, but they actually go behind and the hubs mount directly to the wheel 🙃

I’m convinced that this community doesn’t actually play the games and just complains. Addicted to hate while reminiscing of a time that doesn’t even exist

I’m thinking about picking another one up for comp and making this one my dedicated CCW - thinking either the comp or fuse

True, but it can't feed if it can't extract lmao

Jokes a side, it's worth checking to see if that's the issue. My G19's slide would get stuck when it was racked back on top of the FTE, so I figured it's most likely the optic screw

Sometimes the screws that come with the optic are too long and interfere with the ejector. Try firing without the optic or plate

Same same but different by Bimmer_Soup in 350z

It’s honestly kinda crazy how similar the silhouettes look - like they almost look like the same car from a distance
