ratnasty Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 not bad a coat of filler primer and a light sand should take care of it and they were 25.75 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 not bad a coat of filler primer and a light sand should take care of it and they were 25.75 each I think the work avoided in scratchbuilding a chassis is alone worth $25.75. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKcustoms Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Very cool! I'm definitely buying one along with the 68' Camaro body. do these work with the dirtmodeler suspension/motor plate parts?

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I think the work avoided in scratchbuilding a chassis is alone worth $25.75. Very cool. Plus, they should be absolutely symmetrical, which is time consuming to get right in brass or styrene. All the joints should be pretty too. Definitely worth the price. Do you own the artwork, or are these available Shapeways-direct? Edited April 3, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Joseph Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 These are TDR Innovations pieces and they are available in other scales, too. They have lots of really nice pieces in their Shapeways store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 not bad a coat of filler primer and a light sand should take care of it and they were 25.75 each I figure that there is probably close to half that cost in the plastic tubing if you were to scratch build your own, not to mention the time involved and having a jig to keep everything square. I think this is a perfect example where the 3D printing fits into our hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 They look great, worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratnasty Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I haven't tried the Dirt modeler stuff to it yet , these are on Shapeways pages and they offer them in other scales . I just found them 1 night and said what the heck I give them a look and they are cool Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratnasty Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 here are some pics with the back half of the body sitting on the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nice stuff. Shows what can be done with with 3D printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbeard Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have a 1/16 scale chassis that I updated a few bars to fit my seat and yes the dirt modeler parts will fit the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am surprised at the price!! I am not into drag cars but I'll have a look and see what else is available from Shapeways. As has been said, it's more cost and time efficient than building the cage yourself from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Ive had this in my cart for the longest time but ive yet to get one as racecars isnt my thing but would look sick as a post apocalyptic monster.

DaytonaTim Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hey Chuck: Be sure and look at the video on our website on how to finish out this material. I say this because using the superglue method on these frames will help with strength. Here is a link to the page https://sites.google.com/site/tdrhtmllearn/home/tdr-innovations-help-page/shapeways-wsf-material-info Chassis really are one of the best areas for 3D printing. Chassis are tough to make by hand and very tough or impossible for manufacturers to injection mold. For 3D printing though it is just another part. Keep an eye out as we intend to expand into this area of modeling. Tim TDRinnovations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
