Nice update Kev, glad you liked the build.

I think I may have some odds and sods of left over bits, I will post them up if they are any use for your spares bin.

Ye 3D printed. Got to sort out the head as there are some details that dont come out right. Not sure on cost, depends on the size your after.
This one is about 190mm tall. The max size would be about 700mm but i would have to check the build volume. Waiting for some new filament colours and types.
This one is printed out of PLA which is great stuff just needs to be kept out of direct sunlight as it can go brittle. To print it in ABS which is the same as the lego pieces is difficult of large pieces, they tend to warp.

You can get one for as little as Ł150, but you get what you pay for. As they have developed the printers for home use there are lots of "pain" removing features and as i have just been reading about safety features. Have a look at 3d printer fires

I did a bit of reading and decided on the Prusa i3 and at the time the mk2S was the current one. But as it was over Ł700 i was reluctant to shell out for it, so i delayed placing an order. This worked out well as a month after the i3 mk3 came out. This is stuff full of idiot proff stuff, but the back order time was unsure (they are now getting better) I ordered in February and waited 7 weeks to get it.

So for under Ł800 you can print out your projects up to 25x21x21cm in size. I have just done an RC jet boat, but this is showing the limits of what and how you print. The main problem is joining the prints. Unless you use ABS plastic which is difficult and has toxic fumes. The bonding process for the parts has to be glue as most of the print filaments will only melt by using toxic solvents.

Anyway i'm building up to printing this a GIANT 3D PRINTED technic LEGO Bulldozer [Kit 856]

It's going to be something like 600 to 900 hours of print time to do the digger and about Ł300 (but could be double that) in print filament

My Blue Porsche GT3RS went the viral rounds on Facebook again this week because I posted new pics up with blue wheels and was marmite to some....

I love it.








Also upset the applecart again in the brick scene today loo

Got some GT3RS wheels in Gold which are 1:8 and then got some 1:10 tyres and made them look like euro stretch fitment, so will fit them to a 1:10 Conisegg (so) I’m currently building...

I’ll get that and modify it too lol

Feet killing me this evening so more time in chill room on bricks!

Conigsegg (sp) looking good...

Some say I got to much time on my hands haha

But when I grt an idea I have to check it out! So seeing as I now had spare 1:8 Porsche wheels, I thought I’d do stretch fit again and do red on red with Ferrari...

One of my first Technic car builds, I think it looks ace!

Also a mate wanted to know how to modify his Beetle Bug for slammed look so I did mine which is only in early stages and took pics for him along the way to show him how to do it... looks sick with camber on rear and narrow front track.

Having a bit of a redesign as I think the front of this model realy ruins the look of the whole car, lets it down so what you think?

Loving all the new builds buddy! That supercar one (white Koniegsegg or however you spell it) looks awesome!

How do you do the 'stretch' tire look? Also on the red one, I think stretched fronts with normall rears would look ace!

Any pictures of how to lower and camber the beetle? I may have to buy one after seeing that one!
