Do you have a Toyota Tacoma grille for Hot Wheels?

No sorry I don't. I just did these running boards as a commission job. I borrowed his HW to make the model.

Need this compustar remote case anyway I can purchase this item as I don't own a printer?????

There's is plenty of 3d printing services out there in every town and city. I recommend you just do a search for "3D Printing Services" in your area or on Face Book. You just need to supply them with my free file or the web address to it. Ask for it to be printed in TPU of the color you want.

i sent you an email with pictures of two fit-testing adapters. will they be good or do you need more details?

Absolutely! I will have pictures for you tomorrow as the customer is dropping off the parts he would like replicated.

Hi, does this replace the North 8025-17 fit test adapter by chance?

So I just looked up the adapter you're talking about and I have to say, no this doesn't replace that adapter. This adapter was more to use 3M filters on the North mask and to make a makeshift filter to use with the North mask.
But that is not to say I couldn't design a test fit adapter. As far as I can tell that adapter is just made to port a small hose within the filter to mask chain for the machine to connect to. Most images I find are not very clear as to how they connect.
Ironically we are just starting our fit testing at work again. I'll take a closer look at one if I can and see about desiging one. It shouldn't be too hard as I got half the work done already.
If you happen to have any detailed images that could help me with desiging this I have made a sharable folder you can put them in here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W2aDMOH8eD4T-0y6PamaE7L9NBZ5QxcT?usp=sharing

Hi first thank you for Stl I’ve printed one for my labs ashes but I would like to know what you used to put the hole in bottom as was going to try do another breed but with the hole in the same so just wondering what you used to alter original file and how hard it is to do

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad I can help with keeping your Labs memory alive. I use Blender for all my work. It is a bit of an intimating software, but that's because it can do so much more. It is free and there is plenty of tutorials online. Since version 2.8 the software has got a complete overhaul and is now more user friendly. It dose take some time to learn and this is exactly how you learn it. Take on little projects like this and look up tutorials as you go.
You'll want to import the file you want to edit (or start from scratch). Do a bit of sculpting on it to make it look more like your dog.
Then for the hole's I just use basic shapes to represent where I want them. You then use a Boolean Modifier on your sculpt and set the shapes as your cutout.
So for this project you'll need to look up Blender tutorial's on the following: Navigate in blender, Set up unit scales and save start-up file, Import a STL into blender, Sculpting with dyntopo, Adding basic shape's, using a Boolean Modifier, export an STL.
Hopefully this helps. Good Luck

Hello! I'm curious how you created the "Face on Mars" 3D render. Did you create it yourself, or were you using topography data from NASA (or otherwise)? I ask because I'm developing a project that is dependent on the accuracy of the render. Can you point me to the resources you used for the creation of this piece? I thank you so much for all the work you did to generate it and make it available! Cheers.

I couldn't find any actual DTM data for this target. I uses a very old and poor video rendering of this mountain made by ESA back in 2006 and a top view image from the HiRISE orbiter. Between the 2, I modeled it out the best I could. So it's not perfect, but I'd say it's the closest currently on the net.

All I could find is this high resolution image from the HiIRISE site
https://www.uahirise.org/PSP_003234_2210

and a previous animation made by ESA back in 2006.

This is immensely helpful information, thank you so much for getting back to me!

hi I would like to buy this adapter how much does it cost? FLAT TOP SKYWATCHER / CELESTRON AZ3 ADAPTER

Thanks for your interest in this adapter. It makes this tripod so much more useful. Unfortunately I don't sell my prints. I just supply the file as a free download. You can easily have a third party that is located close to you to print it. FYI most public libraries are doing 3d printing services.

Hi.
Thank you for posting the 3-D files. When I order from a 3-D printer, what material should I pick for glow-in-the-dark?

Sorry for the late reply. PLA is just fine for this model.

Alyn Wallace, a popular astrophotographer with a YouTube vlog, posted a video today with a couple of suggestions for better illumination of the reticle in the polar scope for the SA. He mentioned your device/3D print design, thanking you for it, and posted a link with the video. He is a very smart and gifted man. I believe he was an engineer prior to getting into astrophotography.. He has collaborated with photography equipment companies on various products. He posted a video about a month ago telling details of his journey with engineering then getting into what he was more passionate about. At the very least, you might want to follow his vlog, but you may be able to find your own avenues of collaboration, through or with him, if you have other ideas like this one.

Thanks I'll look into this right away. This is awesome. It's great to be recognized.

I have the Star Adeventurer Mini, or SAM. I am uncertain if the cavity on the Mini is the same as on the Star Adventurer Pro. Does anyone know if this will work on a Mjni?

The Star Adventurer part of it measures out to be 25mm in diameter and a 15mm height. I purposely designed it to stick out a bit from the saddle so you can grab it for removal. It still clears the SA dove tail. If thsse dimensions fit the mini then you should be good to go. If not, it can be easily scaled to fit your needs.
This model of mine has been downloaded like 20 times today alone. I'm just carious, where is it posted that it has suddenly became so popular?

Hi i make your Sa webcam adapter very clever, i was scratching my head out to find a way to make something, fortunately you did it.
Now i try to mount a smartphone on your design, I got the clip for a selfie stick that I wanted to mount on your system but I would like to mount it horizontally but I don't know how to go about it. https://i.imgur.com/TczkjGb.jpg

Thanks. Not many people have printed this to realize how useful it is. I love mine.
So for your situation though, I designed this to use the standard 1/4-20 thread attachment. I'd suggest looking for a different phone/tripod mount that uses that thread.
As for mounting your phone sideways, you're likely going to need an adapter to shift the mounting off center from the polar scope. I'll tweak my model to make that work. I'll modify that "L" shaped piece to be wider with 3 long mounting slots instead. Then you can mount your phone adapter off set to either side.

No I don't, but I was considering making one. It shouldn't be that hard to make. It's just a matter of getting time to do it. Would you want it to fit a North brand filter on it? In the meantime I'm sure you can just pop the cap off and lay a surgical mask over the hole. Then snap the cap back on and cut off the excess material.

Hi! I’m a dentist. I’d like to ask if you have a 3D file for the exhaust/exhale valve of the Honeywell North 7700 respirator?
