3D Printing the BTTF DeLorean - Take 2

[Cosmo]

At long last, Titor has smiled upon me and given us the gift of fiber internet. I also finally had the motivation to swap out the Y-axis motor and, praise the timeline, got the new printer working. It's only been six months... No big deal.

Last night I had a successful test print to check the first layers and ensure there's no other looming catastrophic failures. So far, so good, so I've set up the TTI2 stream again and you can find that here:

I'll update this thread whenever a new print begins, and start a separate thread for the actual construction and painting process.

May Titor's cesium clocks guide us through this project, and bend our lasers accordingly.

First up is the front-left wheel, rim and suspension:



ETA as of this post is about 7.5 hours.

First batch was a success! Now printing the under hood/trunk area:

These parts are turning out BEAUTIFULLY. I'll get a gallery together showing the finished results after this next one.

Up next is the TIME ENGINE BASE. One of the cool parts:



ETA is late Sunday evening, about 8 PM. This is a 1 day 10 hour print, so lots of detail. Check it out here:

This thing is going to be awesome. Printed the top of the time engine and the exhaust over Halloween. It just finished this morning:



I'm going to clean a few things up on my end, then get going on the next print. Proper photos to come.

There are still some supports in the time engine base I need to get out of there. Not too visible in the picture above, but it's there. Ordered some dental tools to get at those without breaking anything.

Up next is the front part of the frame:

Okay, back at it after a flood of work that came in.

I printed the other door and some of the attachments for it before the short hiatus:



I've got a new print going now for the other front suspension and wheel, and then both front tires. That should be done tomorrow evening around 7PM Central:



Check that out here while we play some Art Bell:
