MikeyBugs 3D Design and Printing Ideas

Sounds like a good decision Mike. I need to order 3 of those M813 hood sets. Just a reminder folks of what we’re losing though………

This is Mikey’s work and it’s beautiful IMHO (even with me doing the build😆).

If you don’t mind, please post the link to your online store or has that closed down as well? Hope things are going as planned for you and that you are doing well!

Best Regards

Mikey, happy to hear you have good news and the new relationship is going well.

PM sent.

Best regards,

I need something done for my Kuwaiti M1A2K if i gave you images and approx dimensions in 1 35 scale could you do it

HI, I suggest the turret basket for M1296 Stryker Dragoon and the others upgrades on it

Well I’m finally checking back in and I gotta say I’m flattered by the praise that I saw every now and then.
Just so everyone knows, my webshop is up, I still print when I can, I still do some design work every now and then. I have about 30 items still up for sale, primarily all my radio sets and grenades but I also have some helmets, footman loops, NATO slave cables, an M1 Garand set and the M813 conversion set!

I’m thinking of partially turning to a stock-drop based system for some things like the M1919 and other weapon sets where I print a bunch of them at once and then sell them out. I’m still mulling it over. It’ll work better in the winter when I have more consistent hours (and 3 days off) at work.

Otherwise, I just recently finished up a project (actually 2 now that I think of it) that I started before I went back to work that I’m tweaking the print settings on before I actually announce and release it. I don’t expect it to be a big seller but if you like attack helos, and follow @18bravo, it might interest you somewhat.

For anyone still interested, this is the link to my web store: https://hobbymarket.gr/en/seller/27-mikesmsproductions

Depends on what the upgrades are. Turret basket is a possible no, though.

You have been missed and thought about!

Hello!
I’m a bif fan of your AN/VIC sets, one of them got me started as a customer of Shapeways, R.I.P.
I’m glad I can still buy one. I’m also looking for a replacement of Shapeways to sell some stuff, too, so I wanted to ask you, how is hobbymarket.gr working for you? Are there any specific points to watch for when selling?
Good luck with your 3D designs and have a nice day

Noice. :+1:

Dang, when did they add those!

AFV club prepare an Up-graded M1296 Stryker Dragoon, a CAD view of it was edited in Shizuoka event 2024!! But in don’t now when they release it. The idea of printed 3D up- grade is always here!!

I have many ideas of Upgrades for some kits like:
New FN Mag-58 support for Leclerc MBT and AMX 10 RCR
Modified Gun base with ejection port for M242 on M2/M3 Bradley (magic factory…)
Detection system on Merkava Mk4M
Up grades for LAV-25 family…

no kits are perfect! But the pleasure of contruct them is the more important thing.

Hi Jim, I did the pics in 2019. Stryker are a constant source of upgrades.I recently saw that they changed the M151RWS for the M153 CROWS II.

yes very cool !!!

Hobbymarket works pretty well. It isn’t as consistent as Shapeways and the upload process is both better and more annoying than Shapeways. The person running the site doesn’t send out your profits at any particular time, you have to request it be sent to you and the amount. Also, because it’s you who’s printing, selling, packing, and shipping, you have to calculate the shipping amount and figure out the best way for you to ship items out. I just use small bubble mailers that I buy from an office supply store.

I was going to ask how Hobbymarket works… Seems just as easy as my interim Facebook page at this point… I scrambled for like 5 days to try to catalog everything I’d offered thru Shapeways… UGH
