crowe-t Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Has anyone picked up one of these from TDR? It's available in 'White Strong & Flexible' and 'Frosted Ultra Detail'. I never worked with a 3D printed part but this body looks very accurate. Which would be the better one to get to build up as a model? 'White Strong & Flexible' or 'Frosted Ultra Detail'? I suspect 'Frosted Ultra Detail' is the best way to go.https://www.shapeways.com/product/MU8WTSTWD/1-25-usdr-certified-2013-pro-stock-camaro-slot-car?key=d61a31dac25f1d6b0e0a729d1c4c5674 Edited February 23, 2017 by crowe-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 MIchael, I bought a particular body from TDR recently in each of the 2 materials. The Frosted Ultra Detail is the only way to go. Today I primered the body and I can see there is a fair amount of work ahead of me to make it right. The quality has vastly improved with the new material and technology. I'm hopeful that when I sand it down I can get it correct in 2 or 3 primer applications. To do the body mods that this particular body has would take more time I believe than trying to make the TDR body work. I won't know till I get after it which might be a few weeks. If I have anything to share I'll be sure to post my experiences. Hope this helps. Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Tim, Thanks for the information. I thought the Frosted Ultra Detail was the better choice but wanted to be sure. Please let me know how the TDR body works out for you.Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wilson Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've seen posts on Facebook in the TDR group talking about coating the bodies with superglue, then sanding. Seems like a lot of extra work. Any of you guys hear about this procedure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
