  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. I no longer have a patreon most my work is on my cults page https://cults3d.com/en/users/DaftWheels/3d-models
  7. i can do it but with prep work and time i cant do it for less than 25 a hour for scanning alone
  8. i honestly feel like Stellantis dropped the ball on not doing that with the last gen 300
  9. its easy to make with the regular roof all i did was slide the pillar back and rescribe door lines and new interior panels
  10. Went to the paint store for clear hardner and noticed a premix section and sure enough two great colors at 5$ a bottle came home.
  11. Pretty much hit the end of the projects with the widebody version i tried to just flare it but the fenders and the wheel arches just didnt look right so i went for full panel overlays. i like molded widebodies so these do require cutting and filling to look good
  12. 300 5th Ave edition, the only one that requires cutting aside the convertible boot version
  13. Full superfly conversion, its getting its own unique wheel set
  14. 5 Different headlight options with separate lenses heres some samples
  15. some new grilles a total of 6 designs when done
  16. These are their own parts, the body kits will be aimed for 24-26" wheel fitments since thats what i aim for on builds i figure someone would use these on a mild custom version
  17. Its weird this kit reissue didnt get any options despite there being a Rides version and being one of the most customized cars of the mid 2000s. Ive decided to scan it and make a bunch of parts for it mostly going for custom skirt kit and a widebody kit. Other stuff will be custom headlight buckets and grills. One of the things i decided was make some custom wheels for the oem tires that are direct fit for the kit
  18. Finished scanning the 300c reissue so i can do a Bippu body and widebody kit for it and while i was ahead i drew some optional wheels for the stock tires
  19. As it sits currently, Two ikea drawer kits on a chopping board block
  20. yeah i owned 4 of them lol, its one of those bikes you really need to buy only one of, its pretty solid.
  21. Its a bike i modeled and 3d printed thats i just decided to finish it so its a bit rough but done
  22. I use urethanes for clear but rarely get the hardeners to last more than 2-3 years before it hardens solid i notice it happens when im at the halfway for all the brands what tips you guys recommend?
  23. Built a mockup car to show off assembled and painted wheels on Cults
