but the one with the 'hair' all over it sure looks red!

Lol same filament! It is what Id consider PLAIN red. I need to find some a little darker, a bit more Cherry or Brick in there.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

Some of those keyfobs might be nice with glow-in-the dark filament

Keyfob prototype complete! Likin the size!

@Jeff-C175 heres ya some size comparisons jeff! The small one is what id consider a "charm". And the keyfob is 150% from that.

Looks like I wont be home till after dark, so Ill pocket those red keyfobs and get yall a pic in daylight tomorrow. Tonight once home Ill be doing the final adjustments to the pint stein as well!

Oh, and Dug came with the tractor and engine owners manuals and even a 4ft wheel Horse banner!

Crayola tells me this is NOT red lol.

Its closer to Scarlet but not quite red-orange!

[ebinmaine 63,308]

I'd still take a couple. 

 

I have a specialist in house Paint Department.

I also still have a little gray filament, and i just havent gotten to switching to black yet.

Might ask Trina if she would prefer red...errr i mean SCARLET, gray, or black for painting.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

Also have another brand of "red", "silver dollar" and some glow in the dark filament on order!

Forgive my memory.... Have we established whether we can use a regular spray paint like Rust-Oleum on these?

I think that was a yes.....?

Any spray enamel should work great! Any solvent based paint should be good.

That being the case either red(ish) or gray is fine for me. 

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

As there seems to be pretty good interest in these keyfobs, ill add them and the pendant as a listing today!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

Pendant/keyfob added to the store!

I imagine that the 'glow in the dark' will not be red?

If it is/can be, I'm gonna wait a bit for that.

I looked all over. Red glow in the dark is impossible to find in ABS and the PLA is very pricey. I'll keep lookin!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

Found a red glow in the dark paint, but it shows white in daylight.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,631]

Thinking of creating a governor bracket to limit motion of the FWD/REV lever on Dug. Make it where I can limit it to slow slow slow in fwd or reverse for teaching our grandson! Maybe make something that attaches under the bolt on the right just under the dash and the governor bracket can be opened/closed or slid on or removed as wanted.

Heres our current "red" filament out in the sunlight!

If you got something that's more " fire engine" or "arrest-me" red I'll wait til then.... But if that's the red for now it'll do perfectly fine. 

😀

I'd have my specialist paint the wheel black and call it good.

Ive got another red filament on the way, be here in a week or 2. Even this one looks ok as a fob, but I can always use this filament for mug handles, or ornament blanks etc. Im curious to see how the new filament looks and have another silver filament coming as well. I also ordered a little of the red glow in the dark paint just to try.

Heres what one of the headlight lenses looks like on a tractor! This one's not fully painted but you get the idea!
