I just got a couple feet of Nylatron to machine some of these. They will be used to make mold plugs. I'll post the results as they happen.

Anyone make any more progress on this?

Shameless bump as I'm almost ready to mount my body and will have to figure out the fuel system very soon. :)

 Thanks, got it! :) I was not able to load the forum for several days until now.

Hey Chris, did you had a chance to look at the 3d file I sent you? Not heard from you since couple of days.

 Cheers,

 The last year I have been involved in a project (whistle) using an expensive and big proffesional 3d printing machine, and the finish surface of the printed parts was still rough in the Z (vertical) direction due to the limitation of this technology. The printer added horizontal layers of 0.05 mm and the resulting shape had micro stairs like those when you are building an object with LEGO blocks. While 0.05 mm sounds like extremely small and acceptable for most applications, I can assure you that the micro stairs were still noticeable. The software had an offset feature to 3d print the parts slightly bigger than the original 3d CAD model, in order to allow additional polishing with sandpaper. :)

Here is an updated STL file with the fuel door flipped the other side, and also all three parts saved as separate 3d models.

Much appreciated!

These are printing much nicer now on my printer but due to the quality and features on my printer they as still a little rough.  I think they are close enough now that they can be finished by hand however I'm going to hold out for a better printer or have them printed on a machine that can do solid parts.

Thanks again!

Chris

I just made some minor changes to the Reventon 3d model. Now the whole assembly is separated and leveled on the same zero XY (horizontal) plane for easier 3d printing. The file formas is STL. I also added five tiny pins to support the fuel door during 3d printing. After the part is ready you simply break them.

 PS: The file is too large and can't be uploaded here. I split it into two WinRAR files of 2MB each but the forum don't allow me to upload RAR files.

Give it a try now.  :)

I'm going to attempt to reprint these again tonight (will take about 20 hours total) and they should turn out pretty good.

Thank you!

 PS2: Now it works just fine. Thanks!  ::thumbup

If someone finds a good .STL file for this gas cap and filler, please send to me and I'll try to print it on my 3D printer for personal use (I won't be selling these).   8)

Thanks

Chris

Consider it done. I'll send it later today.

Alan


Thanks Alan... giving it a try.    ::huh

Oh shoot! I thought it seemed a bit small. Glad you discoverd IKR had the wrong Dia before I made the bucket portion.
Thanks Bobi for being so kind to share your high quality 3d files. And welcome to the forum!  ::beers

 Hi Alan,

 I'm glad that you did quite impressive piece of art using your CNC-machine. ::thumbup However, I just checked the 3D model of the fuel cap I sent you before and I figured out it's the wrong scale. Sorry for that and hopefully it didn't cost you much time and money so far (and also to anyone who used my file with wrong scale)! ::counfused I made this 3D model after a request of IKR where he asked me to make it 5" diameter, or 127 mm. Using a high-res photo of Aventador as reference, it seems that the correct size of this fuel cap is approximately 160 mm diameter (6.3"). I sent you the updated 3D model to your e-mail. ::beers

 Regards,

 Bobi
