    Hi Fleet,
    I keep hearing that Thingiverse is a great place for free files.

    Agreed Vice,
    That's one of the main, and oldest of the 3D forums/exchanges I mentioned.
    They also have links to guys who will print stuff for you; e.g. Shapeways or private guys with a little 'sideline'.
    Cheers, Fleet 😁

3D Printed Tug.

Being a tight a** I have printed two UV joint's for the Tug OK for low power use but no good for IC, also the main winch. UV joint drilled for M4 prop shaft and 2.3 mm motor shaft with two M4 Allen Socket Hex Head Grub Screws in each.

    You are not kidding about the fumes - welcome to the gas chamber - cutting ABS on a laser gives off Cyanide gas - yet people still do it ................
