New Simple Scout with 3D printed parts and Vinyl decals...

[PokerPilot]

Here is a shot of my new Simple Scout with 3D printed cylinders, wheels, and pilot. I also did the vinyl decals myself. I'm very excited about what this new technology will bring to this hobby!

Dude, that is tight! Well done! I don't have a 3d printer, but I am also excited about what it brings to ANY hobby, either through low price or through innovation.

I've been enjoying my Simple Scout. I am building a replacement for my original, and will probably take some inspiration from you and do a paint job that could only hope to be as nice as yours.

Looks great! Can you share some links for the 3d printer files you used?

STL files for 3D printed parts...

Here is a ZIP folder with the STL files for both the cylinders (two parts) and the tire hubs and rubber. I printed them all in PLA and the tire itself in ProFlex (TPU).

I printed the decals with a CRICUT explore vinyl cutter using Adobe Illustrator to prepare the files. Once they're cut, I stuck them on and hit them with some matte sealer...

Thank you for sharing.

Very Nice! I just purchased a Cricut for this purpose! (an older explore) Care to share your files for the iron cross?

Sure! Here is the .jpg I used to create the vector file. Unfortunately, the forum won't let you upload vector graphics files. I just put this in to Illustrator and image traced it.
