I was really struggling with low spot so decided to paint everything with a white primer to use as a guide coat.

This will basically be my Bananarama! stop sanding coat as I found in some area I was starting to sand into the 3D printed PLA plastic

Next up I’m using a special high build pattern coat primer which will allow me to build up a thick layer and sand back.


This is supposed to be applied with a special cup gun as its so thick but there expensive. So I just applied it with a brush like I was fixing a roof leak on grandma shed.



The smell of this stuff is unbelievable if anyone is into high end glue sniffing this is the stuff

I'm taking it that your 3d printer is a little larger than the usual hobbiest Ender 4 model... :)

i printed a trumpet for one of my RT horns took 2 days and was then 1 mm too small at the open end and 0.25 and the mounting

Not happy :)

Very impressed with the print and then the subsequent convervsion into solid and robust part.

very impressed with it all...but this is all just so far out of the park from my hammer and chissel based tinkering i'm never quite sure what to say

numerosue posts saying "Jaysis Will, thats mental" would get boring

amazing and mental in equal measure...
amazing feat of engineering and design... you need to go and help that Elon fella get his big fat firework off the ground for longer than 50 seconds

The plan is once the plugs are finished build molds and create carbon parts.

As i want a Clear glass carbon finished the plugs have to be a mirror finish #-o

I had visions of you building a forge and turning 1000 beer cans into ingots.... :)

yeah if you can get an Ender to work well its a lot of printer for little cash
i need to fit auto leveling to mine.... save messing about with thumb wheels and post-it notes

Just to make you worry again about the parachute launcher...

Did you hear about what happened at Elvington with Dave Tremayne in the Stay Gold jet car?

On a 250mph test run he deployed the chute which up to then (at lower speeds) had always worked well.

As it deployed the rear of the car suddenly stepped sideways to the right. Absolutely zero warning.

Less than a second later the car was sliding on it's RIGHT side down the tarmac still at well over 200mph.

Then with the rear tyres bouncing it suddenly flipped over onto its LEFT side.

It only took 12 seconds to grind to a stop. The roll cage wore down a hell of a lot in showers of sparks. Good job there wasn't a fuel leak too. :shock:

But the roll cage did it's job. He got away with a bloody finger and sore nuts from the harness crutch strap.

Apparently the parachute mounted below the jetpipe caused a lift of 2000lbs and he has been advised to mount the chute above the jetpipe where it will only generate 32lbs of lift according to students looking at it at the University of Leeds.

So you have to be really sure of these things.
I'm just worried that launching the chute high will INITIALLY lift the rear wheel on Jade.

Be careful. :thumbright:
