The type of printing is the resin hardened with a laser, it resembles acrylic. It may be acrylic? Talking with the 3d printer dude yesterday, he said I could avoid the supports connecting to the important parts of the engine by dividing it in half so the supports all come off the inner half, not the exhaust headers, manifold, etc. Might be a trick removing the supports and not taking something important with it.

Three coats of primer and light sanding and it's in good shape, not ready for paint, but close. The engine compartment snaps into place - that's all one piece. Other parts have required some filing around the edges.

Ace - Here's something for you to think about: if I can output this in 1:24, I can do it in 1:1.

I have done the engine and interior. Chassis is a flat plate with the firewall. The printer and I have discussed producing a kit, which I'm inclined to be in favor of. However, I can see that there will need to be some refining of a few things before that happens. Video: .

Yo! ACME Dudes! Good to see you, as always. The local 3d printer has several new resin printers and they seemingly melt the layers together to produce and much smoother surface.

A coat of gray primer and a light sanding with 600 grit paper and the minimal layering is obvious. Easy finish work!

After a long design process, I have received from my 3d printer this body propped up by a framework of supports. Now the fun part begins.

The English term is "engine turned". That's why I cast the body in white metal - so it could be engine turned.

I don't have any experience with Hum3D, but I doubt if you can plug them directly into a 3d printer without a lot of modification. A good place to start with learning how to 3d print bodies would be the 3D Warehouse. Their digital models are free, but vary in quality from toy-like to very good. A digital body is a membrane and must be given thickness to be able to print. You do this by building a series of planes on the inside of the body. Download Sketchup and learn it. There are numerous videos and websites about it.

Superb work.

Darnit, Bill, where you been hiding this stuff?

Superb!

V16 mill?

Hey Bill, We have a show tomorrow. You be there?

Balsa wood ignition temperature: 400 F.

Ha!

Glad to see you're not working by candlelight.
