3D Printing Fun

That's pretty awesome. How close is the blue to the blue in word 'lightning' on the side (picton blue)? I'm kind of a stickler for consistency.....

Sorry. Misread. Let me get a picture of it next the the lightning.

Sneak preview of my next project. It’s not quite ready to post models, but I am happy with the results. I burned through a lot of filament working through prototypes on this one. Anyway, it is a sliding bed divider. I originally bought the divider which hooks into the box link plates. I liked it, but it was a bit close to the tailgate, especially once I added the molle panels. The next set is pretty far back, so it isn’t as useful and only leaves a small area to the cab. So I designed up new brackets that connect where the box link plates where and spanned some linear guide rails with bearings to allow the divider to slide. In order to get the divider out if I need the full bed, I made the guide rail brackets quick release so I can quickly pull out the divider (and rails if needed). Still working out the toggle clamp solution. It is hard since there are so many drafts on the bed walls. I may end up seeing if I can clamp upwards. Anyway this site only let me upload a very short clip, but you should get the idea. When I finish, I will do a full write up for anyone who’d like to replicate. Also, if anyone has any good ideas for a travel stop on the rail, let me know!

Ive been searching for the right color for these for weeks now. I have some I printed in ABS that have held up for a few weeks in the Alabama heat. even gone through the car wash a few times and they're still holding up well. But will definitely be reprinting in this Pop Blue ASA when it comes in

Adding to the fun. I designed this the first week I had my truck. Just got around to posting it on Printables. So everyone that has their new Bambu printers with an AMS have at it.

Oh the Blue ABS filament is from about 12 years ago, PrintrBot blue, have not been able to find a close match in ABS anywhere. Afraid I will have to transition to PETG.

Hope others will like this as much as I do.

Perfect for an AMS system. I may try it. Mine has been busy printing for the two weeks I’ve had it. I’ll try to sneak this in at one point!

Think I need to add another layer to the blue, as I can still see some black behind it, but it came out pretty nice!

I'm loving this!
