Printed up version 4 of a steering aid for the Can Am and ran it last weekend. This is the 2nd version to actually be tested but 4th design. The 1st version tested worked well but started to delaminate between the solid layers and where the infill began and ended. This version was modified to...

The rotary extruder looks interesting, saw a bit of that vid a few days ago. I didn't see what slicer was being used though. I like this idea too, true 3D printing......

Made up a temporary TIG welding lead hanger while I'm setting my shed up. I modified an existing bracket design I was using to join 2 roller toolboxes together to have a hanger bracket as well. Its not a perfect solution but it'll keep the leads off the floor for now.

Recently finished some speaker pods for my Can Am, as a concept I'm pretty happy with the result so far. They handled a roll-over in the dunes really well with no damage and the speakers sound pretty good for cheap 2 way JVCs. Below are the rears. Designed in Fusion 360, sliced with Slic3r...

Looks good mate, really tidies the space up. Spanner racks are something I need to get on to myself.

Looks good. Out of curiosity, it looks like it was printed flat like the first picture, did you use supports for the top pegs? If so, did you use tree supports or just 'normal' which look to be printed on top of the lower pegs. I only use supports when I cannot change my design or print...

Finished a 'quick' project this morning. I find when working in the yard or when out in the bush I've always got 3 or 4 batteries laying around loose so I thought I'd make a suitcase style holder for them so they don't get knocked around too much. My PETG slicer settings need some work since I...

I can send you an stl for the first one , the bottom one might not be of much use depending on the size of your draw though.

Made these grinding wheel storage trays recently. The first one was a bit of a test and could only fit 4 stacks. I did include cut-outs for a thumb or finger to be able the grip the disc from the OD as well as from the ID. The second version is full sized and then split into 4 to fit the...

I use Fusion 360 and its been the only program I've used. The best way Ive found to learn it is to create projects and as I get stuck at a certain point whether its creating a Loft, a simple Cut & Paste, why a Fillet command wont work etc I do a Youtube search and save the link in a bookmark tab...

Im currently using Slic3r and Pronterface as my computer interface program. Repetier host is good but I went to Pronterface after watching a couple of Youtube tutorials. A PID tune of your hotend might help stabilise temps if it hunts too much: PID tuning your hotend using Pronterface...

Ive got 2 X1s (a version 3 and version 4 or V3/V4 as they're commonly known). Artillery does not officially recognise the different versions but when you're looking for spares it pays to know the differences as some PCBs cannot be changed individually on the V3 or earlier as the newer version...

Made these battery holders to tidy the toolbox up a bit and keep dust and sparks from the terminals. The finish isnt perfect but is fine for the shed. Ive used black Sunlu PLA+ and Silk green eSun PLA, 0.6 nozzle and 0.3 layer height to print and Fusion 360 to design.

Beautiful work mate, very nice!

This is a Can Am dash face plate I made:
