Some from 2014 - 15 Plus the fast tach 3D holders. #Post#: 76805-------------------------------------------------- Re: 3D printer chainsaw parts By: Chris-PA Date: April 4, 2017, 7:09 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I've made a few. This was a modification of a strato air valve on an obscure saw. The stock valve was very restrictive: #Post#: 76806-------------------------------------------------- Re: 3D printer chainsaw parts By: Chris-PA Date: April 4, 2017, 7:12 pm --------------------------------------------------------- These were case fillers for a 42cc Poulan clamshell - they lasted a few tanks, but got soft and got into the crank eventually. That was on a 96deg day though. #Post#: 76807-------------------------------------------------- Re: 3D printer chainsaw parts By: Chris-PA Date: April 4, 2017, 7:15 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Mostly I've used it to make tools. This is a mandrel for turning a 42cc Poulan cylinder on a lathe: #Post#: 76808-------------------------------------------------- Re: 3D printer chainsaw parts By: Chainsawrepair Date: April 4, 2017, 7:28 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Wow very nice work 8). High tech redneck :o #Post#: 89971-------------------------------------------------- Re: 3D printer chainsaw parts Metal Plastic By: Chainsawrepair Date: April 8, 2023, 7:46 am --------------------------------------------------------- Next level has begun. :o So anyone stepped up to try parts making with metal 3D printers yet? I wonder how well these new metal 3D printers going to do for guys making NLA parts or custom parts, etc. (HTM) https://youtu.be/eMoXhUUCqMM *****************************************************
