If printed parts are good enough for the aerospace industry, they should be good enough for RC. I'd do some extensive crash testing first if you ever sell them as race bodies.

The parts I've designed that are printable are usually for decorative or non-structural systems. Fairly brittle but I'm certain we are not getting them in the most current resins. I even had some custom hide-away headset holders printed up last year... that was awesome! Straight from my screen, through inspection and onto the aircraft! This stuff is just getting too cool to ignore lately.

I'd look into designing a separate side clip system that can be lowered or raised. Might be beneficial to the racing crowd.

I have to vote for a 74 Nova SS just because... 71 Chevelle, just because... trying to re-live my youth on RCP. 73 Camaro will work too.

I look forward to your results, best of luck!

Ok... Just watched the D-Nano vid, that stuff seems to be the perfect level of rigidity! Is that sealed after printing? I know the chalky material can get finished and sealed with something like super glue. How does paint hold up on it? Does it soak in at all? Any plans for thin lexan windows?

Well I broked it (finally )
The crazy guy stepped on it...

I have another one on the way which is the polished version, + added some details and made the door joints thicker, because they were barely noticeable on this version. V3.0 will have step proof reinforcements

Thats what is nice with RP, a model can always evolve.

I'm with you with the modular mounting clips. Thats something to experiment.
I already designed several H and T plates 1 and 2mm thick in this material and in black. Some of them have funky designs, they are in fact extensible to fit my model kit adaptations. Thats perfect for experimenting the resistance of that stuff.

Yep the material is chalky/porous. It is not waterproof at all so if you spray it the paint will show through. I heard of the superglue tip but that would be quite expensive for a large surface. And that thing is thirsty! I experimented with Klear/Future wich is an acrylic varnish. I brushed with Klear until the plastic can take no more, let it dry and tested some coats of Tamiya primer.
After rubbering the second coat of primer hurray some shine did show.
It really has to be sealed in some way or it is a no go with this material. Too bad it is also the strongest.

Lexan windows: well that would make it complicate having the bodies made at SW and the windows coming from some other place. The windows painted in shiny black really do not disturb, at least from a distance.

This looks to be pretty sweet. I would like to try one out on a mini z as soon as you have something ready. I vote for the Bugatti and the gumpert for a race body. But I would love to have a old hot rod body. A Shelby 350gt or a camaro would be great. I'm for sure keeping my eye on the thread

Switching from a laser sintered 3D printing technology to a UV cure printing technology will give you a much better surface finish and should yield improved model detail. I do not know of any places with the nice online shop model that Shapeways has and PolyJet printing. However, the materials and output may be closer to what you are looking for. I use RedEye for printing jobs at my work but there are many others companies around who print with this kind of equipment. It should not matter much who you pick. Of all the printing systems I have used the PolyJet/Objet/Photopolymer systems provide the best surface finish by a good margin.

GrowIt has some nice videos on the different technologies.

2.7 RS: this is what it should look like
I thought of modify a 934 white body into a RS but that would be too much work. +1 for the assorted Fuchs wheels...
Oh and added the BMW 2002 turbo to the list.

Digitalis: Thanks, yes the problem with Shapeways is that it is rather basic and public than professionally oriented, there is certainly a way to obtain the correct material with pro suppliers, for now I will focus on the design of the models themselves. They still can be made by other RP companies as they all support .stl, why not for special orders.

I will stick some time with the ease of use of the SW shop. Probably things will improve their side too as they keep toying with new equipments and materials. Also it may be good for the hobby if a collection of MZ bodies stands out in the Shapeways catalog.

Probably I could build my own shop and freely choose a specific supplier, if it takes off. We will see.

Today I received the first body designed for the MZ chassis. Again, the material is awsome. The weight is just under 24 grs, including the bodyclips and attached accessories. The body is quite big, comparable in size to the BMW M3 K body.



More pics

The front clip is printed with the body as a whole, it is positionned above the slot (and not in it ) Pre-cut and easy to take away.

The side clips are integrated and reinforced

The typical muffler of the GTE is also integrated

Some support material is stuck and hard to remove from the grill On the V2.0 I will design a less recessed grill.

Might get better resolution on the more visible flat surfaces of the vehicles if they were printed vertically as opposed to ground up.

I wonder how a flexible type of urethane paint would work for these bodies?
