Looks awesome! I was thinking of doing something similar if I bought the MN82. I was thinking of 3D printing all the parts and accessories instead. Great job👍

[@Violator-RC]

Thanks. I'm still saving up for a 3D printer, so my next projects are hopefully with 3D printing. Working with styrene is also fun though.

[@daijoubu4529]

@@Violator-RC It's very inexpensive to print (smaller) parts online from china, I got a bunch of parts for pennies from JLC

[@Violator-RC]

@@daijoubu4529 Yes, it is. I know someone who can print some accessories and other stuff, for now I wanted to have my own printer so I'm still saving money to get a good one.

[@daijoubu4529]

@@Violator-RC But those commercial MJF and SLS prints in PA12 nylon are at are at another level of quality than FDM printing, it's truly marvelous, give it a try, new customers gets a number of coupons, I'm not even sure if they are making money, could be loss leader or to reduce losses. I too just started learning CAD and made a couple of parts for the MN82 already, this is so much fun haha.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Much respect. Well done. I was thinking of using .025 sheet metal for mine but have yet to dig in. Considering the weight, styrene is probably a much better idea.

[@Violator-RC]

Thanks. I appreciate it. With this build the canopy is a bit heavy that's why I have to convert this to a 4 link suspension since the stock leaf spring won't support the weight of the canopy. I can just imagine if you use sheet metal then weight is going to be an issue.

[@rcworldKenya]

Nice work , just subbed👍

[@Violator-RC]

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

[@plasticspoonrc]

Excellent set up. That work station is giving me some great ideas. Thinking of modifying my work bench now. Have you posted this to the Scale Builder's Guild? I think they would dig your work. Skilling it with the details. Thanks for sharing.

[@Violator-RC]

Thanks. I haven't posted it yet. I'll give it a go.

[@reyjr3608]

Amazing..I like it..😄👍🏻but I'm still figuring what is styrene.. is it a hard piece of plastic? Or a styrofoam..I never saw one before..I guess I'll start looking at school tools store,or hardware.😅and where can i find that skid plate that thin or is that a sticker?..i like your cat too,so cute..😆🐱

[@Violator-RC]

It is plastic and they have different thickness and shapes.

[@TerranCmdr]

Seriously impressive work! Where did you get the awning?

[@Violator-RC]

Thank you. I bought it off our local shopping app. It's a MN camping set shp.ee/jk4z2ut

[@TorLeg22]

Supercool!! how thick styrene did you use to make this?

[@Violator-RC]

Thanks. Used 1mm styrene then combined them to 4mm.

[@MNRc-crawler]

I'm currently making something like this to but I'm using PVC pipe that got flatten

[@Violator-RC]

That's nice. PVC is very durable. I hope I see your setup soon.
