  1. Its pretty easy to use but the difficulty to make parts for it is in the 7 and up difficulty scale, scanners cant see chrome or glass i fixed this by using baby powder but that also creates a grainy surface when scanned. the problem is as you can tell the dozens of dents created by light refraction that would take days to fix and maybe even weeks or months to make a usable body for printing.
  2. Wasnt planning on it but decided to make it to get it over with, its a body kit designed to make the car low while still sitting on 30" wheels.
  3. Didnt think i was gonna do the skirt kit but it kept eating at me so i designed it out of want to get it done. Its designed for 30" wheels which is whats going on this 300C Superfly build.
  4. i just get it through Laredo Texas, i currently have a order on the way through there
  5. printed some late 80s audio, Blaupunkt bremen and Stillwater design kickers
  6. So i couldnt use my offset hubs on this and was too lazy to do it right so i offset the posts on the 3d wheels to get the right stance for a late 80s custom build.
  7. Almost lost this build due to loosing the drive belt but i was able to draw it up and print a new one
  8. Rbmodelworks is currently printing and selling them i mostly design for myself.
  9. Yup its got a few uses i have one with an adjustable slider that can be turned horizontally and be used to center wheels on wheel wells. Cost is cheap, downside is im not printing any beyond what i personally use but the file is uploaded on Cults with a license to sell the prints and i keep it consistently updated. Rbmodelworks is currently selling several versions of this design
  10. I like lowered cars, sometimes i slam them, but both times i do i have to butcher the suspension which leads to issues like off center mounts or 3 wheels down, one up. I also started building more stockish rides but i always run into the problem with the ride heights being too high even for 1:1 factory stock. I figured i would 3d print my way out of it and help the hobby too because i know im not the only one with this problem. This basically is the same as a stock wheel back but with an offset mount that allows you to lower or slam a kit without butchering the suspension. Its obviously not realistic but some people just want to just build without the added headaches of trying to figure out how much to cut. The 59 shown is a demonstration of stock wheel backs and a 2mm offset wheel back which is what im going to run in the build itself because i want a nice low look custom but not slab deep to the pavement.
  11. some people have already i just dont have the time, i rather develop parts than lose time making and sellng. yup the adjustables can be turned sideways and used to center wheels in the wheel wells
  12. I uploaded to cults i regularly update the file so even as new hubs come out the file wont cost more beyond the first purchase i also uploaded it with a license to print and sell parts because i wont be making any beyond what i need.
  13. Spent the better half of the weekend designing offset hubs to lower model cars without having to butcher the suspensions, Mild to wild and even adjustables. Cant wait to start using these
