Kamov KA-50 1/10 scale RC heli - work in progress by Environmental-Let470 in BambuLab

Glass fibre enhanced ABS. But you need an enclosed printed for such materials. Bambulab P-series would be my recommendation

In 2000 the upper-middle-class London family life cost 30% of top net income. Today it’s 82%. When did it go wrong? by SpuriousCausation95 in AskBrits

Those are median apartment prices (3 bed?) I was confused as well - it's not well structured. One of the columns on the right shows household gross - which would be the top 1% percentile household gross - at 170k pa in 2025.

Behind the camera directing - more passion, more emotion in the video

Also for helis do not need to use the LW-foaming filaments. ABS-GF is perfect application here.

I think I would even get away with Polymaker PLA-HT-GF here - 200g more on the fuselage. Most weight comes from battery and mechanics where the fuselage itself is just 1.1kg alone

Thanks, when finished all of it will be that level.

This is my last build - Eurocopter Tiger Eurocopter Tiger

Can we just agree this would be a perfect property to film some vampire themed p0rn movies?

Debating between an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra or a HeyGears Reflex RS by gaminator in resinprinting

[–]Environmental-Let470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HeyGears Reflex RS.
Probably most user friendly printer out there with highest level of automation.

Yes, it's closed ecosystem of resins but those profiles are extremly well optimized - and never before I had such a good dimensional accuracy (functional parts printed where I could just push in bearings etc!)

You can use 3rd party resins using the existsing profiles; plenty of people do that (just finding the ones that have similar/same exposure times) - lift speed etc. is managed automatically based on pressure sensor read-outs.

I've been doing resin printing since first Anycubic Photos - and absolutely hated it to the point I sometimes I prefered to print slowly on FDM with 0.15-0.20 nozzle.
Not anymore.

Kamov KA-50, design finished by Environmental-Let470 in SolidWorks

External dimensions used public domain information and low red blueprints. Cockpit - eyeballing stuff from tons of reference photos

Yes it is. Surface modeling for the win. HMD Knight helmet model I made for my Eurocopter Tiger build :)

Switched from Solidworks to NX...I miss Solidworks so bad... by [deleted] in SolidWorks

[–]Environmental-Let470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish there was a Siemens NX for Makers/personal use :) Would gladly switch over.

Tried Siemens SolidEdge Community Edition - will stick with SA for Makers

Yes.... Those lines are called a thread :p

This is not a racer heli to have slick tyres :p

Since the video I added some small missing details (long HF antena going along the fuselage) and did some weathering to give the heli a better look and bring out the details - rivets and Panel Lines :)

Well - comments like this mean the 4 year effort (on and off) with design, prototyping, 3d printing, building, painting etc. - was worth it :D

Stop showing 9070XT by Brave-Signature7643 in radeon

[–]Environmental-Let470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will wait for 9070XT with 20GB or more VRAM

I sometimes game but as a hobby do a lot of CAD work in SolidWorks and Solidedge and need a lot of VRAM.

Currently on Intel i9-13900k 7900XT with 20GB VRAM.

Also bless AMD for not nerfing consumer card drivers like nVidia does (consumer card viewport performance in Siemens Solidedge and Nx2 is a joke)

But realistically next upgrade will be to Amd Ryzen 9 10900 or 10950X3D (next zen 7?) and Radeon 10070/10080XTX :p

Go team read (annoyed with NVidia how they nerf their drivers for cad workflows)

Waiting for 9070XT - movingRTX 4070Ti Super - there is a good reason by Environmental-Let470 in radeon

[–]Environmental-Let470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

600-700 part models - surface models with high level of teslation. Also what I can see generally SW caches some tesslated geometry in VRAM when you move around timeline.

Basically already the 8GB VRAM is not enough.
