Anglia105E Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Loving those aluminium rims, Mark..... and disc brake calipers...... with disc brake pads fitted......now I have to go lie down for a moment. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks David! All five wheels, two rears and three fronts, (one for the spare). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks Trevor! I added the radius/fillets and then polished them up. And a dry fitted front… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 I decided a more modern set of calipers would not only look cooler, but also be more appropriate for the car with some of the other upgrades it is getting. I made the Wilwood retrofits for the C3 Corvette calipers I made earlier. They use the same pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Mad mad skills. Loved the rims / wheels but seeing these new 3D renderings are just head shaking. Some real talent you have sir. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Thanks Tim! Here's some more... I've been working back and forth and back again with 3D designing, old school machining and basic hand building to facilitate better fitting of the soon to be grown parts to help the fit of the end results. I milled up caliper and rotor "blanks" out of resin to help check tolerances inside the software and to the physical parts I have. I also had to draw up in 3D some of the kit parts I modified for spatial orientation. Here's some screen grabs I took before sent the files off to Fraxional.

Scale-Master Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 These are the tie-rod ends with adjusters for toe. Brass and aluminum loosely assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 I acid treated them instead of using paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi Mark, did you use caswells "Blacken-it"........just curious as I bought it but not used it yet. I like the look ALOT! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 No, I used acid. And thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky 130 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 You are like an old girlfriend of mine, teas, teas, teas. Like someone said "always leave em wanting more. You are a true artist, and I'm waiting for MORE!!!!!!!! I know you have a life outside of building, but is there any way you could give just a little bit MORE? Just giving you a hard time. Well sort of. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65slotcar Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Lola looks insane Mark. any chance of having a set of aluminum rims and inserts made for consumer. i have 3 of these kits i would like to build now that i have some inspiration.

Bill Thanks Bill, The wheel centers will probably be offered at a later date through Fraxional. They fit the kit tires. They should retrofit onto the the kit suspension too. While I made aluminum outer rims for my model, I will not be offering them for sale, (too time consuming to make); only the 3D grown versions will be offered.

65slotcar Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 thanks for the reply Mark. may need to buy a cnc machine someday. will be looking forward to seeing your lola build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 CNC would be nice, but I'm content doing my machining old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 I got some more of my 3D parts from Fraxional over the weekend. All parts are raw as "grown", but I have cleaned off the supports. Here's a few. Flywheel with pressure plate & clutch. Small 153 tooth flywheel. Front side installed in bellhousing. New corrected Hewland rear transaxle cover. Engineered to mount with magnets. (I had the bosses for the magnets grown into the part.) Full engine & transaxle dry fitted together.

Scale-Master Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Half shaft yokes 3D printed by Fraxional. The shafts are brass; the larger one has already been treated with acid for the color. Just dry fitted together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat32 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Use of magnets and building provision for them into the 3D prints is a very neat trick that I'll certainly be using. Will be incorporating in many of my existing CAD models. This one should be included in the Tips and Tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks guys! I took a shot at growing some parts myself. Here's a valve cover. It's hard to capture the details in the clear resin in photos. I plan to cast copies in opaque urethane resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majel Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Amazing work as always Mark, your level of detail and the effort put into each part is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
