MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Printed with resin. I'm still very much figuring out what I'm doing with printing, and I'm not super great explaining what I do know, but printing at an angle with low layer height is ideal, I always use auto supports and add some in places that have given me problems, there seems to be a lot of trial and error with it, a good resource that I've found for learning are 3d printing facebook groups.
  2. Since I still haven't had the time to figure out the shipping and everything I still would like to give people a chance to build it, so I have decided to place the 3d files on cults, can be found by searching Outlaw Kart.
  3. Thanks everyone! I've been working on that, the chassis is very delicate so I'm trying to figure out a way to ship them without it breaking. I have a little more time now that its summer to try to put some more thought into figuring all of it out.
  4. I finished a couple of these, I made a thread in the under glass section. Outlaw Kart
  5. I began envisioning this project 3 or 4 years ago with a little kart I found at the local thrift store, I was originally just going to build a cage off of the existing kart but eventually with the help of 3d printing I decided to go down a different route and build the whole thing in a 3d model program and then print it. I ran into a few snags along the way but overall it all went together fairly smooth. for more photos of the build here is a link to the WIP Outlaw Kart I ended up making a few of these, the first couple are replicas of karts that Kyle Larson ran during his Outlaw Kart Showcase. There are quite a few things that are not going to be 100% accurate, I did the best I could with the references I could find as well as my limitations with the 3d software. I hope you all enjoy these, I look forward to making a few more in the future.
  6. Got everything printed, still need to do some clean up before painting. I forgot the engine when I was taking the photos, it has one just not pictured.
  7. My first WIP thread, I found this 1/24 scale go-kart at the thrift store a few years ago and have been wanting to turn it into a cage kart for awhile, my original intent was to scratch build a cage and a wing for it from styrene. Many projects took precedence over this one causing it to just become a "one day I'll get to it" project, it finally caught a little more traction when I got a 3d printer but still didn't make the cut for awhile. The "one day" finally came and I finally sat down and started working on it, my original idea was still the same to just make a cage and a wing, after I started that I started to realize that it just wasn't looking right which led me to completely build a whole new chassis, I had already designed a sprint car wing for some other projects so I just had to resize it, I was able to source a few parts from various other places. My finished product is definitely not 100% accurate but I did the best that I could with the references that I could find and my own limits with 3d software. I've done a few test prints, which pointed out some flaws that need fixed, I think I have gotten those fixed which I will find out for sure in a few hours. I will hopefully be able to post some updates soon with the finished prints.
  8. This is a 2020 Ram tow truck that I 3d printed, I had a few issues getting the bed to print completely straight, I think I've finally figured out why but too late for this one.
  9. Work'N Woody was a push truck that followed the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series for many years serving as the official push truck. I've wanted a Work'N Woody diecast for awhile but most to be found online were often broken or expensive so I finally got around to making my own, I scratch built the chassis from styrene, Used balsa wood for the exterior, 3d modeled and printed a few things and borrowed from some sprint car kits for other things. I tried to remain true to the decals that were on it in real life as best I could and added a couple others that held some importance to me. I hope you all enjoy. If anyone would like to read up on the real truck at all the World of Outlaws have a small article about it on their website.
  10. Indeed it is, there are so many things that I've been able to make that either would have never been made otherwise or been very expensive to buy.
  11. Looks really cool! I've been working on a few trailers, slowly upgrading and redoing them as I learn other tricks, its cool to see how others build theirs. I really like how you've done the lights, would be cool to see how you have them setup in there. Does the toterhome by any chance have an interior?
  12. I was going to build this straight out of the box as the Autocar dump truck, but I've been wanting to build one of my favorite Snowrunner trucks for awhile. I found a 3d model of the body and printed it along with some new wheels and interior. It all fit together fairly well, I did need to modify the location of the front suspension to get everything to fit. I don't usually dirty up most of my models so I'm still figuring everything out in respects to that but I did have a lot of fun doing it. I didn't realize the model I had purchased didn't have headlights until it was too late so I improvised with some old nascar decals, I also just realized I forgot license plates. Overall it was a fun build.
