geedubelyer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hi Peter, whilst I have zero interest in this aircraft I find this thread fascinating. It is a treat to see how you are developing your parts and I commend you for engaging in this interaction with your customers. It's a seriously interesting process. Good luck airscale, JayW, Uncarina and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is a most tenuous link to the part with a tiny connector, the supports basically combined with the ring make for a pretty bulletproof guard 1 hour ago, D.B.

Cheers, Damian Hi Damian - I think you need to tell your 'friend' I don't think it's possible - the print bed goes to within 2 thousandth of a mm onto the bed so there is no way you could get something in between and get a print. You could print hollow legs/ parts (if that is what your friend planned ) and insert wire after to very tight tolerances - straights only I guess, or print in two halves if a bend is needed Peter D.B.

Another, perhaps better, possibility is using the 3d Print of the gear leg as a master in resin casting. Much more detail available than manufacturers are able to achieve with injection molding. Unfortunately, I am of an age when the learning curve of 3D CAD is much too steep and time consuming to attempt. Maybe someone in the future will be willing to take up where I leave off. If you don't mind I'm going to PM you regarding a couple of PE(?) parts to add to your Bf 109 project.
