3D prints for Tamiya

[AndyjcClod 389]

Hi everyone

Where is good to get Tamiya 3D part prints from?

Id like to know as I only use Tinkercad and its pretty limited.

At the moment i'm after a 3d print for a spur gear/gearbox  cover for a blackfoot I have bought as a fixer upper and I am not willing to pay £14 for a small circle of plastic.

Have a look on Thingiverse and Cults3D.

Another vote for Thingiverse, has a reasonably good search facility too - lots of Tamiya stuff on there.

Cults3d has some good stuff

MyMiniFactory has some

Thingiverse will get another vote

GrabCAD has a few bits n bobs

There’s another site that won’t come to mind just now 

Edit : maybe it’s Printables, seems have a few pages of Tamiya stuff. There’s certainly a lot more print file sites than there used to be.

I use Yeggi.com as a search engine for 3d print files. A search for Tamiya comes up with nearly 2,000 results.

Fusion360 from Autocad is free (which I find rather astonishing - it is clearly a monumental piece of software). That tool can design anything... if you have the skills. I use it to design very basic and simple parts. My skills are extremely limited. Should help you make a simple circular cover for your Blackfoot if you are inclined to learn (between YT and Google you should be able to self-teach).

There's quite a few Tamiya repro and upgrade parts for sale on Shapeways too
