I have these wheels and I used to sell them like a year or so ago. I can bring them back probably in 15x8 and 15x10 and you could use my BFG T/A tires with them at that size or 15x8 and 15x12 and then my other classic tires would work

Yes but printing all those small parts is very difficult to make proper clearances to get parts to fit together and also post processing shipping inventory... The list goes on why doing it separately is not as easy as just doing one offs like that.

Try spraying it over in gloss black I think you'll be happier with that

This is going to sound really arrogant and it's not supposed to come off that way but I can see how it will be taken this way; there are a lot of people doing printing I am very fortunate that Scott and I have a good relationship. He has the time to model saving me tons of work and his knowledge on Semis is by far superior to mine because well mine is really not that good. All I have to do is a few changes here and there; he puts the majority of the work in as far, but there's also a big disparity between the really good printers and the people just turning out trash This is more of a labor of love because while the price seems high I put a lot in each kit and I mean a lot of time and a lot of resin, I really don't make that much off this kit. I wanted to come in cheaper but I just couldn't because of the cost to make this. I think that's going to deter a lot of people.

Pretty sure there's a free version of F360, I am biased as I have been using Autodesk products at work for ages.

Same can be done in Fusion 360

I have designed my wheels to have a nub so you can use a 2 mm rod that is what the Japanese kits use and with a little bit of work you can make it work with Revell or AMT

Fusion 360 Inventor and Solidworks are the standard in CAD design, now F360 is not as much the standard when it comes to big companies, but it has pretty much all the functionality of Inventor minus a few things you will never need for this and it has a free version the last time I checked with limited functionality that you will never notice. I have the commercial license and even that is way lower than the other two around $500/yr but I am not going to jeopardize my business to save $500/yr. I used both Inventor and Solidworks as an Engineer before doing this, and while I prefer Inventor both are good platforms. I suggest looking into F360 and there are tons of tuts on youtube on how to do just about anything on it, I admit even with 10+ years of CAD experience I still go back and look at video when theres something I forgot how to do or to try to figure a better way.

So really long time since this all started but I finally finished up the Narrow Eye version, hard to do new stuff and fulfill all my orders and take care of normal life, but its on my site and heres a picture of the parts.

You don't need to clean prints if they were cleaned well from whoever made them, but alcohol wipes work well if they are sticky. You can primer them with just about any primer I use acrylic primer and it will help hide any layer lines depending on the quality of the part.

I completely understand your frustrations I generally don't do full kits I'm making an exception for the semi stuff because those are expensive anyways but 3D printing is difficult to do big things like that and you'll see plenty of posts people showing artifacts on bodies I can do them pretty good but you know if I'm going to devote a $3,000 printer for 12 to 14 hours to print a full kit mostly just the body it just doesn't make sense to sell it for 30 bucks in fact that's a net loss probably. Like I said I'm not trying to bash you or anything just saying there's there's a reason that they demand those prices unlike injection molding you can't pump out a thousand kits in a couple days.

Also understand that unlike the box kits these aren't injected molded by the thousands in 30 seconds, yes I worked injected molding for a short bit. The time put into printing cleaning shipping is a lot more than what Revell puts into a kit.

First you need a model of the print which really is one of the more difficult parts of it you need to learn CAD or surface modeling Fusion 360 blender 3DS Max solid works inventor these are all programs used for making 3D models though some are CAD which is more constraint driven exact dimensions and geometry then there's surface modeling like blender which you're kind of just creating the outer shell of the object So once you have a 3D model then you can print it, but you either make it easy to print or learn to print really well

The Nailhead with blower is released

I will print some out soon

So I am working on all my 15" drag wheels and everything is split now so you can pick from a selection of tires or no tires at all. Or for that matter no wheels just tires. There are also more size options like 15x15 and some wheels are getting two front runner sizes 15 and 17

You're taking me out of context here, I am saying it may not be exactly a certain year as year to year there are slight nuances, will probably do one that's fuel injected and like the pictures, but even if I didn't it would be a better starting point than what else is available. I will say it won't have all the hoses and what have you little bits, but it will have the nipples/connectors for them.

I'm going to go to Kansas where there's a race car fab shop guys real nice going to let me come in and scan his 300 not only does he have all the parts for it has also has an LS head conversion that I'm going to do so it'll be a while but I will be making it I'm not sure if I'm going to do exactly the version that you're looking for though but it will be extremely accurate more accurate than anything else out there

So lots of stuff listed today the VW Centerlines several classic tires in 15" format and some wheels to match like Keystones Cragars and Daisies

No apparently I'm missing something I kind of wonder why none of them sold apparently I made them and thought I listed them I will put those up today

I am trying to get these out as fast as possible while also doing my other products, they take a lot of work to make, 5 different print runs to make them, but I tend to overcomplicate things.

I think you got an early version though I have improved it just a bit mainly just a little crisper not much just a little

I think we got that taken care of now ?
