beeRS Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) This is utterly jaw dropping. I don't know much about 3d printing, but this must be the future of modeling? Is the finish on the engine shown as it comes from the printer, or has it had some clean up? The 3d prints I've seen before all have rough (stepped) surfaces. Any plans for a 1/8 scale one?

Bill J Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I have 2 of the great GT40 Mk I engines you made and they are awesome. I am definitely interested in one or more of the MK II engines. Great work and details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the headers you will notice some stepping, I think all 3d print techniques will produce some stepping on flat curved surfaces. A rough surface doesn't necessarily come with stepping, that's due to the overall technology (powder vs fluid material, laser vs. lcd projector). I'm currently building the 1/8 version for myself, that's why I modeled the engine in the first place. I will not be able to offer a 1/8 kit due to high cost of production and too few customers.

Nells250 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 How in the Wide World of Sports do you guys make the files for those prints?? Holy cow... all I can say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad mike Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Glad to hear you like it! Right now I'm printing the first batch for Randy of Model Builder's Warehouse, so please look there for pricing and availability https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/ In Europe you will probably be able to buy the parts from scaleproduction.de soon. Here's a pic of the unassembled parts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulsimms Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Planning to build a 1/12 Trumpeter gt40 mkii, maybe both the "2" and "1" car. Please let me know the price if available in 1/12 scale. The great thing about 3d printing is the ability to change scale with little effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nells250 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 From that last photo, I can't see the usual massive "print lines" usually seen on 3D prints... Almost looks like a resin casting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britpop Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 These engines are truly amazing. I have bought two from Scale Production and am in the process of installing one in a Fujimi GT40 MkII, attaching the gearbox to the rear cross-member using two RB Motion aluminium "bolts". Getting the gearbox to fit correctly was not too difficult but the engine itself is a tad long, requiring work to clear the main rear bulkhead and although I didn't want to I have move the seats forward 3.5mm to clear the ancillaries on the front of the engine. I have also bought two pf your 289 Cobra engines from MBW, one of them is going into a DDP GT40 Roadster - it used the earlier engine with the vertical carbs, not the later Gurney-Eagle engine with the inclined carb's. Oh and I have four of your GT40 Mk1 engines, they fit in the Fujimi kit much easier because the gearbox is not so bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Mad Mike, I am new to this site so please bare with me I read your first look if you will about this Ford GT40 engine and you said you might print (build) on if anyone was interested.
