Armortek

The engine has arrived Ivano! It looks very good, I just have to work out where it all goes
The parts to follow are the bolts and the end piece casting of the front of the engine?

Has anyone found an easier way of locating the turret onto those studs, I have an idea but it involves some metalwork locating tabs?

Hi Phil,
finally he has arrived! The motor body bolts are missing (M1,4),
the order made on 26/5 has not yet arrived, I don't understand why. If you have the bolts, wear them as soon as they arrive, I will send them to you. As agreed, the back is missing, but you have the file to print it. I hope everything goes well. Ivano

Next week they will have to give me the new 3D piece, if you don't want to print it, you will have to wait for me to make the mold and then the resin casting, so I have to send it. I think it is much, much faster if you make it in 3D, however it is the same for me. Ciao!

Hi ivano, can you send me the stl file again as I cannot find it. Send to exploration20@outlook.com, I will print and make a decision on whether I need the resin casting instead.

Kind regards Phil.

Hi Phil,
I sent you the file, after so much "tribulation", I am impatient to see how the engine will go.

Good morning Ivano, I am printing the part as I write this reply! please see pm also.

Getting on with the l60, I'm also printing the fan assemblies as a 60mm slice.

It's coming along nicely, I'm having to make extra 20mm sections of the engine to lift it right up under the big Tee piece, if you guys build one you won't have to do that unless you want a 20mm slice of everything that lives below ivano's masterpiece.

Just watched the official video of the KT, who ever is driving that needs a pat on the back! So many drive like idiots and it doesn't do the hobby any favours at all.......slow it down respect the drive train as did the 1/1 crews. If Armortek can include a gear change in the sound file along with track squeak and clatter ( I would like to see all steel tracks as they make all the right noises anyway) it would be even more awesome than it is! By far the best 1/6th out there, the KT is a difficult mistress but when you have tamed her she is sweet

Busy fiddly day putting the engine together. Making small parts and trying to get it all to fit in.

You are becoming an expert with the scaling function in Cura.

Wow Phil that is awesome. Lovely job you are greating a true masterpiece

Hi Phil,
for the bolts, the supplier told me that today he was making another shipment, probably the first one was lost, as soon as they arrive, I ship them.

Phil, sorry if I allow myself,
in my opinion, the filters you made are under the radiator, they are visible only if raised. For this reason I have not made them. At least I believe.

I am aware of their position Ivano, it's just to show them off!

Did you see my pm?
