gazza Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 A few projects i have started or are in the works, since acquiring the printer ............... The XM turned out really well, nice flowing lines The mini i have printed out to near 24th scale, Slot-it HRS Chassis fits perfectly under it Also have a Resin printer which i'm starting to play with as well Bought the XD elsewhere then i found the 3D file. Saw the Aston and just had to have it Same with the Jag RS200 with the flare kit was also a must, tweaked the print setup so it now fits the standard Scalextric chassis and interior Tweaked the A9X as well so the standard Scaley interior and chassis fits it or use the Slot-it chassis as the body is a couple of mill wider Made the Phase 3 look like it should as well, a little wider XT HQ GTS Capri EH Humpy Group A Mustang A lot of sanding + a few coats of spray putty + more sanding, first coat of undercoat and they are starting to take shape 2 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaynus Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 They look great! Well done! Are the last ones (white) PLA or resin? What program do you use to modify the body files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinno Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Awesome Garza. Need the Capri to do Seton’s car, XD, Monaro to do a Jane car and XT all in resin. Will drop around one arvo to check the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What program do you use to modify the body files? The ones above are PLA, the Blue Mini is resin. The slicer program that comes with the printer works well. I've done a close ratio using the dimensions of the 1-1 car to the Scaley version, the length is about the same as the 1-1 but the width is always narrower, with the the slicer program you can adjust the width without changing the length, the HQ is the right length but i've made it 60 mm wide, same with the HO, they both can take the Slot-it chassis. 2 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool62 Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 @gazzathey look trick. I'm looking at getting a 3D printer but unsure of which way to go. What printers have you got? What's your preference PLA or resin to print with? Cheers Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobble Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Looking good gazza, you don't do an FJ front end on the FX do you? I'd pay an arm and a leg to get one ..... or maybe not quite that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 View of the extra width of the Phase 3 Standard is 55 mm, i widened it another 5 mm to 60 mm, the HQ is also 60 mm wide from outside wheel arch to outside wheel arch Also in the process of printing some trackside accessories for my great nephew 2 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaynus Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Do you print your car bodies laying flat, (like in your photos) or angled on an incline with either the back or the nose in the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have been printed flat, the yellow mini was printed nose up, i've done a couple of early F1's from Vlad that turned out very well, just depends how good the supports are to keep the thing rigid while printing.

gazza Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Bought a Pioneer Legends white kit and did a different paint job on it, hate turning up and having 20 of the same car on the track. Got to thinking while i was building it if anything else would fit the chassis Luckily the slicer program lets you adjust the dimensions of a object to anything you want to print So here's a rough draft of a XD Falcon Legends 4 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of moving as well, but due to covid we can't get to where we want to to buy, but preparing to move still goes on, trouble is that i'm running out of room to store things, so a lot of my larger projects are scaled down or on hold, luckily the 3d printed projects don't take up that much room. Added a bit of colour and a bit of trimming, still very much a work in progress, but looking promising 3 Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
