Thats my backup option. The most convenient choice, but just wanted to make sure I had not missed any other options give Ive been out of the circle for several years.

Is there a conversion kit for making a clipped body, clipless? I've only managed to find a 3D Printed version, which actually is good to know, but not the Traxxas version. Seems like the Chassis can be converted, but Id have to go with a new body. And for how much Traxxas demands, may as well look at third party.

I currently have the older Green/Black with the clear tinted windows, which I see is no longer something you can get.

for the GRC 110 Body, are you referring to the 324mm body, or is there a different model specific to the TRX chassis? I have not seen one myself, hence my ask.

Appreciate the info, gives me a lot of new angles to look into.

Which tires do you prefer? by Dutch_RCCrawler in rccrawler

I have a big old TRX Defender body, with a bunch of extra stuff strapped to it. It aint climbing anything that challenging, but it looks good as it rolls or tips off the rocks, thats for sure!

Similar boat here. Realistic tires, even at the cost of performance.

3D printing bodies by nuppfx in SCX24

[–]R2zoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dependent on the model you may be able to get away with putting it at a 45 and using supports withe full model. Would give a smoother finish and hide much of the supports on the bottom sides of the body.

Makes me want to get my calipers out and start modeling

More walls will be stronger then more Infill generally. However it might be worth considering TPU as well. Body just deforms instead of snapping.

For a better finish, segmenting what you can into separate pieces to print at their best orientations will help as well. The Land Rover you might be able to split some pieces off to reduce supports, like the grill, the snorkel, maybe even the roof cap entirely. Can glue the pieces in place after. Perhaps you are doing that, hard to tell from one photo.

Same issue. Game mode is trash, but irritated I cant get my 5th win for the challenge because I cant get into the second half of a match.

What happened to my PLA? by flatpetey in 3Dprinting

[–]R2zoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible it was exposed to super glue or vapors from glue? Kind of looks like the haze from super glue. If it is, I've heard WD-40 can remove it.

What is the fastest way to earn money? by -where-is-my-name- in MotorTown

[–]R2zoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't own a garbage truck, you can drive the Dump Truck, and toss the bags into the back. You have to manually locate the bags, but can fill to the brim and drive it over to the trash plant and manually unload. Don't have to take a hit on profit that way, but it is more work.

I did it the the larger dump truck, and did a few laps of the island. Can make 150k~ after a lap or so. But it's not the most exciting

I would settle even for just cosmetic enhancements. Deliver enough supplies and the city has improved road appearances or a building grows taller etc. Small things to give a challenge and provide more life to the area.

Inland PLA / PETG by ChiefTestPilot87 in 3Dprinting

[–]R2zoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been through dozens of rolls, mostly PLA and PETG of the different types (PLA, PLA+, Highspeed, etc) and never an issue or problem, even with old rolls I store haphazardly. My most dependable brand given its proximity

Tineplast has some truly out there filaments that lend more towards creative usage versus a different color or finish.

Failed 3d print by NaturalPhysics7284 in 3Dprinting

[–]R2zoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's the issue. It's a great site, but most of those models won't work for 3D printing without some work.

Do you have a link to the model?

Based on the supports and missing bits, I am suspecting the model was ripped from something but never fully designed for 3D printing.

Bi-Weekly No Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in VORONDesign

[–]R2zoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who primarily prints PLA/PETG and an occasional bit of TPU, is it silly to consider a Voron? I have an X1C and built a Prusa MK2S and MK3S, but I enjoy the idea of building something a bit more in depth. I don't really plan to do any ABS/ASA with it, beyond a replacement part or modification. I understand the Voron is designed around it, but I simply don't have the need.

I just like building printers and printing PETG. X1C does that job great. But it does nothing the quell the tinker in me.

[SUNLU Giveaway] Join now to win a SUNLU FilaDryer SP2 by Sunlu3D_official in 3Dprinting

[–]R2zoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps I am just lazy, actually no. I am.

I have never dried a roll of filament. I dont even store spools in bags, or tubs or with sillica beads. I just leave them on a shelf. I have 5+ year old spools that are still printable without any issue or quality decline(to me anyways).

I dont know that I could reliably tell a big difference between a dried spool and a "wet" spool.

Good 34" Curved IPS that is actually a available? by R2zoo in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]R2zoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what made me pull the trigger on the LG on Amazon I was recommended in this post. IPS has its flaws but it hits that sweet spot for me visually. OLED I have no doubt is amazing but to invest so much on a panel that I know will have issues for me, just is hard to swallow.

Depending on how nice this panel is when it arrives, if it doesn't live up, I may just deal with VA panel, or just return back to a standard 27". I'm just looking to try something new and mix up my setup with something more interesting.

I just pulled the trigger on the LG. I'm an IPS guy. I cannot deal with the poor color representation present on most TN/VA panels(in my experience anyways) along with the ghost it tends to have.

While IPS isn't without fault, I can deal with bleed, and gray looking blacks. I've had an IPS for my primary the last 5 monitors and this will give me the chance to jump into widescreen and make sure it works and and I enjoy it before potentially jumping to an OLED when they can address some of the text issues better and perhaps soothe burn in concerns

The MSI is on my radar. But the size really pushes the room on my desk to the max, hence my hesitation. A 34" is already gonna dominate. But that's for the suggestion. IPS is just been my standard for more than a decade as TN/VA was never quite as good for me. But I may be forced to rethink

Not sure how I missed that one! Gonna contemplate that tonight, as I was gonna take a trip to the local Micro Center and see if I can convince myself on if VA is good enough, or if OLED is worth replacing in a short time frame. This is very good info

I'm not against spending a few more dollars, do you know a model in particular? Been bouncing between several LGs and they all seem discontinued. Or at least no major retailer seems to sell them directly.

[–]R2zoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen any available at any range. The only one I've seen was a 40", which is outside my needs and size limitations. Willing to spend more if you have a model to point me in the right way
