3D Printed Parts

[brecht]

Anyone run any 3d printed parts on your toys? What are they and how are they holding up? What material did you print with?

I found some really cool air pumper hose bracket ideas at the Sand Show so I threw together a model and was able to create something similar in a few hours (I'm not selling or releasing the model, this is just for personal use)

This is the first print - need to increase the filling (internal structure) and change the filament so it will last longer with UV

I'm new to the whole 3d printing thing and first time I'll be using it as a part versus just some dumb toy or something

Not on my sand toys, but I have used some on my jetskis. PETG is what I use. It holds up great. I have a jet pump steering nozzle for one of the skis with 100% infill and its is stout.

Yeah I plan on doing PETG for this as well

I'm using the Bambu A1 Mini: https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini

Kinda wish I went with the regular size though - the plate size on this is ~7x7 inch so it can be a little restrictive if you need anything bigger. This is my first one so the $250 price tag was attractive

This is their website too, you can send most of these models straight to your printer and hit print: https://makerworld.com/en/3d-models

Its pretty impressive:

My son just asked for a 3D printer for his bday in November.. most of you have seen my personal machine shop so needless to say I would like to buy something that is fairly industrial and high res lol

Check with racetech. He can give you solid input.

I'll do that.. I was going to start researching which ones and why next week.

I really wish I woulda bought a mark forged years back when they were cheap.
