Leeds 600 was one of my earliest FUD prints now approx 5 and a half years old, never been happy with either its performance or finish....
So a 19mm powered Bullant/dummy Bullant have been fitted into the Halling C mech chassis frame, definitely better so far, the drive unit on this is another 38.5:1 Belt drive unit and has 'plenty' to shift the 3d print body.
Th body had been primed and painted using aerosols and the question was how to strip this back, previously I've used Dettol and Isopropyl Alcohol to varying degrees of success but this time went for a bath of MEK and a soft brush....result? Yeah no damage or issues to the print to the naked eye....cleaned and sorted in no time....this is not a dunk and leave proposition as I have had that with both the other two things listed which ended up in deformed prints bit as a quick paint remover it seemed to work fine....
So when cleaned, a quick re prime and this is where we are now....quick test video
Time for a bit more detailing now...stuff I'd previously not got round to.....bow tubes, route boxes on side, various other bits and pieces then a full repaint, the interior and chassis will need a bit of work but overall happy with this revamp, performance is far better than the previous Halling drive
