SCRATCH BUILDER Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Well i figured i better jump in here, I assume this is the right place to post, it's not an airplane but it is large! I thought i would post some pic's of my 3D Printed V-1. About 90% is printed and the other 10% is by hand, She measure's a tic over 21". I generally don't Doc my build since most are for private request(I need there permission), But i guess i could start doing it for my personal builds. Any questions feel free to ask!

Joel_W Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) A rather unique subject for sure. One only has to look at how well you weathered the engine in take to realize that there is more there then meets the eye with details everywhere. Very nicely done.

Jim Barry Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Nice to see your work, Rick. You've clearly extended 3D printing very nicely into the aviation modeling world. Looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRATCH BUILDER Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Not painted yet Joel...lol, just a primer on it, the ram jet is just about complete then on to the warhead itself, everything is just a test fit for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Definitely an interesting subject. Impressive detailing at the mouth of the ramjet. Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Rick, The V1 looks great. What kind of printer are you using? I've been using filament machines for a while but this looks a bit better quality on the print than what they can do. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRATCH BUILDER Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Hey Craig, As far as a printer i have a Lulzbot Taz 6 and Mini, for most intermediate size items i print at 0.10mm, larger stuff i will go to .020mm, the primer i use is Dupli-Color, the red filler primer, it drys in about 15 min's, the gray seems to take forever. Then i have an ABS slurry that i make up to thinly coat the part and fill the layer lines, then sand and prime, i use HIPS filament, basically the same stuff model are made of.

brahman104 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Good stuff mate. I thought with the finish you may have had one of those resin UV (SLA?) printers. I've got an UP Box myself, good machine but the resolution is fixed at 0.2mm. It seems you are well versed in the finishing process for these parts. Excellent results!

SCRATCH BUILDER Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Glad i can help Craig, BTW...the SLA is on its way, will be using that for cockpits and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Can't wait to see your results with the SLA machine. Which one did you end up going with? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRATCH BUILDER Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 The Form Labs 2, they have this new post clean up kit also. brahman104 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I was looking at that, but it still seemed like there were a few issues with it, so I might wait a little longer. Hopefully that's not the case with yours; I'll be very keen to see how you get on with it Best of luck! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRATCH BUILDER Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 So...after a week or so reading and watching the forums, I see that my documentation skills are far from great, so i decided to start the Pulse Jet from scratch for any that are interested. It's the smallest part of the build so i will start there and then pick up with the rest........ So this picture is the components off the printer........ Next i had to make the fuel jets (3) this was do in brass........ Next is all the front intake components, the screen was pure luck, i was wondering how i was going to do this, then i looked at my raft from the printer and said this looks pretty damn close..... Starting the assembly........ A little more........ And dry fitted Looks like i will be getting a new camera or at least a stand for the one i have. enjoy for now. 109, TaffyMan and TorbenD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Very nice. Glad the screen worked out. I find it funny what we stumble upon. I was thinking about what I'd do for for small polished intake a few weeks ago and the pen in my hand with the tip of its stainless steel clip had one right there!

SCRATCH BUILDER Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Your so right Jim! Ok a few completed things today, intake has been assembled, I did the front support for the ramjet (never going to be seen so no detail what so ever) 109 and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
