What printer are you using to print these parts?

73+

Thanks. I'm hoping to be done with it by the end of the month. If I chose to, the intake that the OP requested would be a simple task. I have a source for the Stromberg 97 file.

I'm pretty sure it's an Olds. I have one I built stock from parts of the AMT 29 roadster.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a properly scaled 56 Dodge 315 hemi engine like this: With this intake with 6 Stromberg 97's on it?

You can do what you want, but it still won't be an early Dodge hemi. It's out of scale.

x2. Works great for me.

I know. I own a convertible version. The kit is a joke.

Go to the Tips and Tricks section below were this question belongs and search decanting paint or paint decanting.

I'm not surprised.

I have no doubt that I could create and print side mirrors. I have the correct printer to make it happen and at $600, I feel it is affordable. The printer isn't the problem, it's knowledge. It is a 3 step learning curve. First, you have to learn CAD to make anything happen. Second you have to learn about the different desktop printers and choose the one that will do what you want. Third, you have to learn how to use the printer and how to achieve the setting, proper placement of the file on the build plate and more to get the desired result. It is far from plug and play.

There wern't any wire wheels on the 1966 full size Merc. What you are seeing in the kit is AMT's way to try to present these optional wire hub caps. These two hang on the wall of my garage. There is chrome on the top of the rear fenders of the 2 door hardtops however. I have a pair of the chrome spears that I took off a parts car. I laid one on the rear fender of my S55 vert to show where they appeared. I had intended to use the wire hub caps but I couldn't because I put 71 Montego disk breaks on the front to help stop. The stock 66 wheels however, wouldn't fir on the Montego hubs. I installed Torque Thrust II's all the way around instead.

Molotow liquid chrome marker. There are recent posts on in the this general forum.

They are not scans. They take "blue prints" of the front, side, top and rear and use them. Then they obtain pictures of the subject that show other views. There is no he. It's a company and I'm not too sure that the files aren't free lanced. Go here to see one source of blue prints. https://getoutlines.com/car-blueprints?utm_source=cbinfo&utm_medium=cpm&utm_campaign=cbinfo&utm_content=bar . Hum3d want $50-$60 for the same prints.

Yawn!!!!!

My take on the whole thing.

I already said that George.

I had a red 63 in 71. Loved that car.

I created this thread as an education piece to keep those who are interested in desktop 3d printing abreast with current products. In doing so, I use terminology that may be foreign to some. The size of 1 micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter. There are 25.4 millimeters in 1 inch. A piece of copy paper for your printer is 9 microns thick. A 3d printed layer of 100 microns is about 11 sheets of compressed copy paper. A 20 micron 3d printer layer is just over 2 pages of copy paper. The photo below gives you an example of the difference of 4 difference 3d printed layers. Starting with the top one at 100 microns thick, the second 50 microns, the third 35 microns and the bottom is 20 microns. You can see the difference if you count the layer lines on the right hand section of the oil pan. These "steps" are what causes the non smooth surface of a 3d print. The lower the level, the smoother the angles surface. When you print at 20 micron layer height, you can't run your finger nail over the surface and and feel any ridges.

So here is the reality. The price you don't see on their website.

Other things to keep in mind is that none convertible is like an early promo. No interior or frame.The files I want are: 1935 Auburn Boat Tail Speedster Bugatti 57sc Atlantic 1964 Buick Skylark convertible 1938 Buick Yjob 1953 Cadillac Eldorado convertible 1940 LaSalle convertible coupe 1955 & 57 Lincolns 1956 Lincoln Continental 1939 Olds convertible coupe 1938 Talbot Lago Teardrop coup 1957 & 1959 DeSotos

The rear fenders were one of the few parts that were one layer and are easier to fix. You just high light it and create it 3d by extending the surface inward. The result is this: In the case of an already file that is 3d, you have to high light the inner face and make the part thicker:
