WavesDesign Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 So a few weeks a go a guy by the name of Warren Clark asked me if he could make a 3d model of my intamin wheel assemble that I rendered, with a 3d printer. So I said sure it sounds like a fun project to work on together. Then I started breaking my wheel assemble model into pieces so it would be easier to print. It was a lot of back and forth to get it right, but he got the wheel assembly printed and put together, and it came out great. So then Warren saw a 3d rendering of a top thrill dragster car that I and my friend Camiel Bilser of Coaster labs worked on together a few months back and asked if he could use the model to print. Camiel said yes and so i went back to sending files back to Warren. I thought it would be better to just print the front car so once again I started breaking the model down part by part to get it ready to print. It was a lot of work but we got it to work out so now is the fun time putting it all together so in this post I will keep you update with how it goes. Intamin wheel bogie model and render by me wheel bogie all ready to be put together. the wheel bogie all put together . the wheel bogie all put together . Top Thrill Dragster car model by Camiel Bilsen of Coaster-Lab and render by me . putting the frame and wheel bogie together. putting the frame and wheel bogie together. putting the frame and wheel bogie together. Attaching the noise shell to the frame. test fitting the shell together. putting model in to 3d printing program . printing shell part on the 3d printer . putting the seats together . putting the seats in the shell . test fitting the shell and seats together . adding the wheel bogie to the shell. adding the seat to the shell and wheel bogie. most of it all put together still waiting on some more parts. painting a under coat on it . painting a under coat on it .
yay101 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow, that's a creative idea! Great start! Will the lap bars be able to lock/unlock? Out of curiosity
Blue Turbo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 That looks amazing! I can't wait to see the finished result.
WavesDesign Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks i think he is doing a great job too and i also cant wait to see it all done too.
Zem Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I've been doing a lot of 3D printing lately for academic purposes. May I asked what model of 3D printer you used?
DAT_OG_ROLL Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 This is awesome! I have been wanting a 3D printer for so long and the only thing holding me back is the price(I am a jobless 16 year old) but anyways what program did you use to design this? Solidworks?
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow! Looks REALLY good! Can't wait to see the finished product!
WavesDesign Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Zem to answer your question it's a mendal prusa 3d printer .
WavesDesign Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 DAT_OG_ROLL to answer your question the Intamin Wheel was model in rhino 3d and render in keyshot2, and the Top Thrill Dragster car was model in solid works and rhino3d and rendering in keyshot 2,
yay101 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I noticed the other 3D model in the background of the second picture... On the trains, great job and great detail! Tons of little mechanisms and parts and everything!
hillflyer Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Really nice! Lots of attention to the littlest detail and it still comes out looking clean and convincingly real.
