I CANT ride with auto gears, you just cant get corner speed right.

Ok,I tried the direct stl no edit and used supports. Heres a few pics. It took about 2 hours to print both bits but I use a slow speed to keep quality of builds better. I dont have the parts to try in it, so cant tell you if they fit, sorry. Will have to send you it H to test, its free lol.







Heres a pic of the MTE body and gears and the rear brake gears, thought you might like to see how the come off the printer no clean up.



The Edtraker box is about 50p in ABS but costs electric too and clean up and me making sure its okay lol. My electric bill tripled since I got into 3D printing!!!So £1.00 for my troubles is fair I think plus postage lol

Yep,if I enable 3D vision it is not different in GPB

DD

Im having a 3D printing design day lol so will try later if I dont start riding in GTA again, its a blast with bars lol

DD

GPB does not support 3D vision or am I wrong. I have a 3D screen on my laptop, but its stereoscopic which is different but fully supports full 3D too including output to a 3D screen. I see a big difference with games like NFS Shift 2 in 3D but it is supported ingame. It will make no real difference in GPB unless supported by the sim.

Hi H I downloaded the stl files and will do a test print soon but I want to redo the model as the design is not perfect to print as it comes. I will let you know as soon as I print one up, wont be much.

DD

Sounds like a plan cdx. Txt me when you can okay. New stuff for 3D printer ordered will be here next week so time for new designs lol. Might try a 3 in 1 MTE as it would be better to mount on the handlebar tower.

Could do with a better rider than me in GPB too lol. I just dont get enough time to practice.

Still no more news about what bikes will be in The Crew apart from the Kawa and Ducati in the video and pics.

DD

LOL cdx, was great you could test it for the first time. I just got it working in GTA V and its a blast, it handles real well to steering is perfect, beats the f*** out of using the gamepad to drive/ride in GTA.

There trying to fix my roof again so its a shithole here once more, NOT LOL

Its hard to make a video alone dude, I need one hand to ride, one to smoke and drink beer, got no hands left to film lol

DD

Really clean work H.

DD

Thank Peter, made a boring Sunday better.

DD

Fantastic work again Davide, thanks so much.

DD

I'll PM you later H. Gotta lot to do today as usual and will sort something out over a beer a cuppa cha latter.

Hi H, to be honest, I just use Sketchup Pro as it has a DFX import plugin. I got it free nod nod wink wink I then just export the STL into makerbot maker and print. I use a gear generator, Coreldraw X6 and others for other designs too.

My MTE's plus gears take 8 hours. An MTE gear is 1.2 hrs alone a 15 tooth gear is 20 mins. I can generate any module,pitch teeth number and gear hole size and then customize them.

The biggest problem is overhang in 3D printing, I hate using supports, they can be a bitch to clean up. I basically print only in 1 micron for quality and precision anything bigger just sucks really.

I am working on a full set of direct handlebar mounted switch and throttle units and hope to do brake and clutch too using high quality vishay pots.

If you need help with software let me know guys.

Bit pricey Max I made a set for £5 which was expensive as I bought the micro switches from Maplins. I am designing a set that can be wired to your original xbox controller, but the university,s system has priority and my 3D printer is like a woman, itsa love hate relationship lol

DD

I made a shift pedal for xbox360, wired o the back and start buttons, but meant I used my foot to shift not a finger, works so much better. I am just getting into 3D design and printing and there is so much to learn. Its not as simple as you think as you have to consider how the printer works and therefore design in a certain way. I do want to make my own gamepad using the vishay 260 pots as they are small and heavy duty. I got a lot of plans and think taking a 360 board as the base may be a good idea.

As I said if you have a 3D design and no printer I am willing to help.
