Thanks for the info, as a thrift minded modeler ( insert the word " cheapskate " here ), I avoid 3D printed parts and enjoy the challenge of making a scratch built part
I choose to take on challenge and scratch build parts. Luckily with so many videos available on CZcams by other modelers, I have gained so much knowledge and greatly improved my scratch building skills. That I haven’t purchased any resin or 3d printed parts for quite some time now… good for me but bad for those sellers of resin or printed parts.
Great video, idea, and tutorial, thank you! I'm going to give your method a try for sure. I was using several small pieces of flat styrene sheet glued together, then filing and sanding to get the muffler shape. I then glued a small diameter piece of rod around the ends for the crimp bead and drilled holes with my Dremel for the pipe connections.
Hey thanks man! This is something that never entered my mind. So simple and easy to make. I do think the printed one should have had more detail. Like clamps around the edge of the pipe.and a seam around the edge of the muffler. The scratch built looks so much better and you do have more options. Thanks again, loved the video and tips.
Awesome video. I make exhaust at times when It is molded into the chassis, I grind it out and make my own. I make glass packs but never thought of making these. Thanks for showing us how. I have a 3D printer and have made some of those mufflers, you have to be very careful drilling into that resin or it explodes... LLAP 🖖

I like it depending how brittle the 3d print material is, could you drill a hole in the end of the muffler pipe the size as the hole in the styrene tube, insert a wire or rod in the hole then glue the muffler and pipe together?
@@StumpyGrumpsScaleSpeedShop To have any chances of success I would use the smallest micro drill bit I have and my pin vice with very little pressure start drilling. You don't need a deep hole maybe a 32. We are not drifting a rc car around in front of our house. where straight is needed.
Great tutorial. I have thought about trying to make mufflers but didn't know how to go about it. I will give it a go sometime soon. One question though, is your hole punch a leather punch?
I had no idea the video was letterboxed. I know it's hard keeping things in view when I'm working on them as my eyesight is not the best. I'll look into that problem and see if there's a fix.

That would probably work, as you said, depending on how brittle the printed part is.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a leather punch. I got it on Amazon. I'll put a link in the description.
@@StumpyGrumpsScaleSpeedShop I though it looked like one. Thanks!
Why are your videos letterboxed? You try to show us detail, yet cripple the video size with letterboxing. SMH.
