3D Printable Time Machine Parts Project

[mike123]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

So far I am 2-for-13 with my 3D printer, in terms of getting things successfully printed. But I am learning!

For this heatsink thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2184834

...it doesn't print because it tries to put some material in mid-air when it gets to that second flange from the bottom. But I think if the two pieces could be split up and rotated 90 degrees, it would work. (Maybe it would be tipsy from being tall and thin but I don't know).

I am looking for a free, entry-level program to try to edit these things but haven't found one yet. TinkerCAD doesn't seem to allow you to "cut", and it looks like Fusion360 is a paid product, which I'm not quite ready for that level of commitment yet, given my batting average with the printer.

Anyways I'll keep trying stuff, it's been fun so far!

Yes you would need to rotate that 90 degrees or add a lot of supports.

Your slicer should allow you to rotate the model.

Oh, I did not know that but you're right!

I was also able to add a little rectangle of material on the TinkerCAD website, so that when I rotated it, it would have 100% of the footprint flat on the printer bed. The result is here:

Hope it is helpful to some people! I am 10 hours into the print (15 or so to go) but fingers-crossed it does look like it will work.

What I do with my resin printer is add a printed platform that sits on closely spaced standoffs so that it can easily pop off the built plate. Building with a large flat surface on the build plate is very hard to remove. I do have a filament printer but am spoiled with the quality I get with resin printing.

I then cut or sand off that built plate.

[mike123]

Oh interesting, I haven't even heard of resin printing, maybe something to look into once I have a better handle on the 3D Filament stuff.

The heat sink print came out perfect, took a bit less than 24 hours. I was surprised at how tall it is, but I've never seen any of this stuff in person anywhere else.

I have begun printing some flux capacitor pieces that are linked in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwaCr0_KH5M

So far, they are coming out very nicely! The Torr relay base and top just snap together, I didn't realize how precise these models and printers can be. My first flux capacitor used some sliced wooden dowels for this part.

holy spirit said it was not nice not to finish posting these so had to come back and post......for what it is worth.

if an skilled fusion modeler active in community person wants to admin the fusion files to modify as needed, i am basically retired from such things......lol. messgae me with your email address to add to fusion admin permissions.

Any chance you can make these available again. It comes up as unathorized. Thanks.

So I figured out how to share my files for now links self update, you can look at rotate,measure things, markup, and add comments and criticisms (so I can fix things). You can also download files and stl files to print and modify(but sorry to say they will have no connection to self update my files-you would still need to give me your email for that), but for more complex items you want to download the fusion file and export each object as a separate stl....that said these are still not fully ready to go and some are very raw (but good start,they will be on thingiverse once they are 99%)....oh and if you are goingto try toprint something make sure it is in petg or abs or poly carbonate. If you are looking into buying a 3d printer look at the cr-10 (but you will need an enclosure for abs, i just have 2 10$ ikea tables on top of each other.




Golden Claire Electrical Box
(center console in front of flux capacitor)
want to still model some switches and things for the really lazy to find parts people but close
https://a360.co/2EGlT1J

Mount for Green bowling pin torpedo things
(these are meant to be used with the models already on thingiverse for the Green tube things)
https://a360.co/2ECs2fa

Vent Plates(rear driver side exterior)
pretty close to done found all the real dimensions
https://a360.co/2EGxuOb

Black Boxes for Dash Board
(still need to adjust some dimensions and model internals)
https://a360.co/2EM5zfZ

Heat sink for on top of the big zero box exterior behind the passager
this is a re-mix of the plutonium chamber heat sinks they are similar but different sizes.
close but needs a hole for the wire protector things (and also need to model those too)
https://a360.co/2TvV8ql

Actual big zero box with connector for orange jantrol tube built in
https://a360.co/2EKM8UB

Extinguisher holder for near the flux capacitor
still needs a lot of work
https://a360.co/2EGSB34

flux band bracket
will need to be printed in flexible filament or printed hard just to make the mold.
https://a360.co/2EK6yxe

Plutonium Chamber (screw version)
very inaccurate but dont think there was a chamber for the plutonium to fall into, and modified for lid to screw in instead of just one Quarter turn for more security from it falling off. I will model the normal version too.
https://a360.co/2TyJSJL

Plutonium Chamber Lid
(working but inaccurate screw version- these all work with turbine thing already on thingiverse that goes above hubcap. )
https://a360.co/2ELlDOU

Plutonium Chamber Insert With Plutonium drop slot
(also inaccurate, but official version was bolted in and to get the plutonium you would have to open the whole thing or grab them from under neath hoping they didn't fall in to engine.(i think,correct me if i am wrong).Again I will model normal version too.
https://a360.co/2IYGnrY

Delorean relay holder behind passenger
(might model the relays for completeness but they are like 5$ cheap)
https://a360.co/2EGEriu

Wire Coupling thing used all over
will eventually be several versions for all the types/sizes around car
https://a360.co/2TlRUWU

Twin zero boxes near green tubes
https://a360.co/2IZCMtP

So they are lots of 3d printable parts on Thingiverse...I made a collection for ease of browsing them (Thanks to everyone that posted them). I would like to model as many of the remaining pieces as possible. Anybody want to help? (I can share the fusion 360 project i think) All models will eventually be freely available on thingiverse once they are finalized.

things I am drafting

I will be posting my progress on the project here.

Just a bump to see if your files are available anywhere else ... the links no longer work. Thanks.

Well I see now why everybody has issues with Video Bob, I asked a simple question on a certain media platform and he has to go and throw shade at me. So noted
