I think the ATF agents are coming around the corner headed for your house.                

I once did a full scale model of the M2HB.

At the time I did quite a bit of electronics work for the local PD and Sheriff. It wasn't unusual for a cruiser to pull up in my drive and ask me to have a look at somethin. An officer shows up and I invite him in while I grab my tools and whatnot. As I came back he kinda had a puzzled look, glanced to the corner wher I had the replica leaning, and started to say. "Is that a...." He cut himself off and hurried to the door.  Lol of course I ket him in in the joke, but thereafter cruised around town in a 1961 scout OD green with the gun mounted.

Theres pics somewhere if that same gun on a 48 Willys, alas I sold em as a package for a more practical vehicle that was needed at the time.

Today's Greystone3d Arsenal progress

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,785]

Hey all..this isn't of the 3d topic, but I just a a chat with Guy, @Roadapples brother. There's still a bunch of stuff left from Jay's collection he really needs to clean out. He'd be willing to do a deal for all at one go. Most of it should still be listed in the classified section so please go have another look and here's a list he sent.

Let's get this stuff where its needed so Guy can move on with a bit more peace that his brother's wishes have ben fulfilled.

Back to 3d stuff...

We are preparing to start release of stl files right here on redsquare! This group has grown our 3d business, so now to give back! Admin has created a spot under the Manuals section where 3d models can be uploaded and they will be available for free download and upload by RS supporters!

3d printers are becoming more affordable, and more and more members have print capability, and those projects it's taking forever for me to get lined out, someone else may have more luck.

 

If you have a file to share you can upload it as well.

That. Is. Awesome.  Thank you!   I don't personally have a 3-D printer yet, but my daughter's boyfriend does, and he's printed some stuff for me.  I have a feeling he may be buying a better printer in the near future, and I told him I want first shot at buying his old one from him.  I think I'd have fun with it.  I have a lot of computer experience and some with AutoCad and related software, so I could probably handle modeling (relatively uncomplicated) things myself too.

Sure thing! And if you improve something or make a nifty WH related item you can post it to the repository too!

Well, on that topic....   he modeled the 300/400/500 headlight bezels, and printed some.  I presented samples to a reseller, and he said he didn't like the layer lines and wouldn't try to sell them. I haven't tried selling any on here, I've just been using them myself and have given a few away.  So since I don't have any hopes of printing and selling those, maybe I'll get the model file and upload it. I don't know much about 3-D model formats though.  What type(s) are acceptable?

I asked admin to set up for stl and obj. Basically standard 3d model file. Someone asked me about those once and I never got a chance to model them.

 

This repository will open up options for folks. If ya need somethin printed you can find a friend, fellow member, or even contact me and ya can get it printed

Some towns and communities have "maker shops" also, with things like 3-D printers you can use (maybe not for free...).  Colleges too but you probably have to be a student to use them.

 

I came back to add this:  I've never been to this place near me, but in addition to a lot of "traditional" woodworking, welding, and electronics tools, they have these:

 

I need to check this place out!

It appears these have timed off of the classifieds. Guy is checking with Ed Kennell to get everything reposted.

If you made a few of these in a curved format and built a framework for them you could have a one of a kind stained glass Wheel Horse lamp shade.

You can pretty much do them in all sorts of arcs and shapes. I use an online tool called "itslitho".

Load your photo, adjust all your settings, pick a shape, size and voila! Download the stl.

Did make an ivory replacement pane for this tiffany lamp! A little brush of stain and ya cant tell the difference!

Finally have all 50 cal guns out the door! One printer is now back to running GT 14 tank top!
