The 3D Printer Thread

I reckon so. They are for a bunker so elevation and recoil will not be an issue.
I will try to find a picture of what I’m building & post later
Thanks for the help

I'll have a bash tomorrow, not an easy of a shape as first glance would suggest as its not symetrical

I have a funny feeling the Tiger engine is 1/18 or at least closer to that scale than 1/16!
But the engine fits the HL Tiger quite nicely, but if i make iit what i think is correct scale, it is far too big.
Problem, is the HL Tiger actually 1/16 or has it been adjusted to 'look about right'?
Should i really worry about the scale since the 3D printed model isn't properly accurate and it is only to look like a Tiger engine?
Puzzled at this. Want to check what you guys think.

I got some measurements of TIger engine on wikipedia, not sure how correct they are

The engine weighed 1200 kg and its dimensions were 1000(W) × 1190(H) × 1310(L) mm.

If they're the same size as the 230's you were first given, I'll be happy with the 210's being the same size, otherwise I'm going to need two new 230's as well lol.

Sounds good to me, they are printing as we speak, that saves me stopping them and starting again lol
I will have a play with a scaled up version anyways to try out later date

That's cool, at least what you're doing now won't be wasted

Pretty sure the 230 was the exact same outside dimensions as the 210 - they increased the capacity by increasing the cylinder bore diameter similar to how Rover (many years later) made the 1.8l K series engine from the original 1.6 unit.

Yeah, they were.
Just in case you thought I was making another blunder, I'm asking Will to print me 210's the same size and scale as the two 230's I already have, otherwise they'll look odd next to each other

[Tiger6]

Surely not another blunder

Not this time
