My printer ran the whole night to finish 1st part. I switsched to a 0.8mm nozzle and print at 0.2mm layer height. I also made a 2nd 3d model for a classic 3d printed car body.....just in case.



 

It's really nice when something like this materialise...

Indeed! Thanks very much!

I found this kyosho motor. Looks like a mix of the sport tuned and the red and blue bells tamiya motors. Any info on it is welcome.
and I removed the mega motor on the williams. I don't remind from where it comes. It is like new 

=18pxI tried a new method to save expensive filler=18px. I mixed cheap fine wood filler with acetone and applied it with a brush after sanding=18px. Mostly along the panel lines=18px. Worked pretty well and due to using acetone it bonds very well and also dries pretty fast=18px. Printer runs around the clock and spills out a part every day=18px. 3 more parts to go=18px.

 

I changed the wood filler thinning to 50/50 windows cleaner-acetone. The filler is more consistent and also the time to work with it is a bit longer. All parts are printed and pre sanded.
Here is a comparism of the Revell model and the 3d printed. The difference in size is huge. (well its amplified by the podest the 3d print is sitting on)



 

Went to my almost local hobby shop this morning, to fetch a kit, and put my Nichimo Spirit FF on display with a few printed parts in a dedicated shelf, with a pdf printed on a side with a QR code to display my Cults3D page...


This hobby shop is really dedicated to vintage RC, and the owner is very happy to show some of my 3D printing work, and I believe this will be an opportunity for any of his customers not having the idea of 3D printing to see by themselves and generate some ideas. He requested me if I can let a printed car in the shop as among his discussions with customers he knows quite a few looking for parts and possibilities to repair their old cars...

Very cool!

This was actually yesterday. I've been sick with a bad cold for a week, but managed to throw this pic together for a local brewery that's having a "tag them with their beer contest". Naturally I used the opportunity to combine my two favorite hobbies 😁. Mini Blue is still a work in progress, but normal people don't know the difference 😂:

 
 

Very nice Todd. 

They are NEVER done!
