Thanks very much :)

 

i made 2 different ones for the headlight yesterday because 3 of the 4 headlight mounting brackets are broken due to accident damage.  the low quality models looked good so I'm about to print them in high quality/density.

 

It's quite therapeutic, and I get regular exercise because the printer is upstairs !

Glad I could provide the raw material for your therapy :P

I've got two broken fasteners on my l/h fairing. The one right at the front and the top one next to the tank. Both from me being a bit heavy handed.

Aha. I've just seen your other post about getting a replacement. This plastic would be no good for anything which gets hot, like a bulb

Thanks fixit, but I meant, have you got a spare wire bulb retainining clip I could buy or replace. I just thought the headlight unit you're working on might be a practice piece. Thanks anyway.

I might have an 850 headlight bulb clup. I'm away from home at the moment unfortunately. Maybe they aren't even the same but i could check

No worries. I've bought a selection of clips today and can probably make one fit. I was just being cheeky, but thanks again anywau

Carved rowan sounds so much nicer though :)

I think these will be the last I need to do, for now. The fairing is cracked along it's front-back length, but the angle of the sides which should be joined is greater than 90 degrees. I'm making a few of these 100 degree angle pieces to glue on the inside of the cracked fairing which should then be rigid enough to be filled and painted on it's viewing side without much sign of a repair being made

The 3D drawing package is just the basic Google 'Sketchup'. i don't need some of the more complex functions of Autocad so managed to get buy with Sketchup and saved having to renew my Autocad licence :)

 

Google Sketchup - > https://www.sketchup.com/

 

The printer is a cheap and cheerful 'Wanhao i3', there are many versions of this, and they're all very much cheaper now than a year ago  (under  £150 new) I think the one I have is a clone of a 'Prusa i3'.

 

My workflow consists of design the piece in Sketchup and expor ther file to 'STL' format. Then import that file into 'Cura' (which comes with the printer), which 'slices' the model into discrete layers for printing.  The output file is 'GCODE' format which includes various printer specific instructions (temperatures and speeds) as well as the model, which is saved to an SD card. The SD card is inserted into the 3d printer control box, and the print is started.

 

The most critical thing as far as the printer is concerned is that it is leveled properly, and that the gantry is perfectly perpendicular to the build plane. This takes a few adjustment sessions to get into the ballpark.  Then the most critical part of printing is getting the first build layer to stick to the build plate. I'm using a gluestick rubbed on the plate for that, like may people use, but you can also use hairspray. Some people fit a glass plate to the build plate to ensure flatness. My build plate is fitted with an optional heated plate surface which also helps with adhesion.

 

Once you have found a setup which works it is best to start printing and keep going, because some small tweaks are required from day to day with this model as the dimensions of the frame change slightly with temperature....but like anything else this is the way life is at the bottom end of the market.

on glueing use mek or plastic pipe cement as the fairings are abs  so it bonds rather than just sitting on top relying on friction

 Are they ABS ? I've already tried an ABS pipe cement which didn't do very well. in saying that it was over a year old...maybe some new would work.

 

Epoxy and/or fibreglass resin should be up to the job too

got some bits of old fairing ill test it on the inside

another tip i was given if it is ABS if its a hairline crack put acetone on it and it will go into the crack by capillary action and bond it
