AmericanMuscleFan Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Great project Joakim! It's a drag car so it's right up my alley!!! 😊 I assume that your parts are printed using SLA (photopolymer resin) and not FDM as they look very clean and accurate? I read somewhere that 3d parts are very sensitive to sunlight. Do you know if paint can protect the parts from distortion? Maybe an experienced modeler with 3d printed parts can answer this question? Anyway, I love 3d technology, it offers so many possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's UV light that hardens the resin and i have not noticed any distortion after. the resin becoms more brittel if hardened too much. my parts is cured under uv light for 7 minutes after finished printing.

Ghost_33 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 I really think i will go for the bigger wheel to the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My 2 cents, if it's gonna be a true old style drag racer, the one's on the left. The larger with low profile tires is more of a resto mod look. What you guy's think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yeah....the tires on the right are more of a classic cruiser style. I'd go with the ones on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_33 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hmmm wheel choise in the front shall be decided later on when chassi and body is together and can see how it looks with stance and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be fairly specific in your search but there is a ton of great stuff on cults for model cars. Try BlackBox and MCSDESIGN, from there it can lead you down the rabbit hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The blower engine looks pretty kewl. I like new toys ☺ The rear wheels look nice and wide for some big ol meats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to be specific with my searches but I still get a lot of stuff that's not even close. Now I just click on all the various tags that are associated with the item I'm looking at.
