heloman1 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Excellent work, I like your 'bravery'. I'm too old to start learning about CAD and 3D printing. I'll follow your build with interest. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be possible in a couple of months. Just started the first test print of the engine - exhaust - carburetors and cooler. H Hope it turn out well tomorrow. regards Christian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas.R Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Love that WEBER DCOE 40 carburators, and twin cam engines! I had a Fiat with the same! Fantastic work Edited January 31, 2022 by Andreas.R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mansfield Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 So impressive what can be done with a 3D printer now. The future is now! was that engine printed as one piece? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Many thanks for your comments! I printed the engine in one piece without the webers. Theses are separatly printed. Right now i am working on the front and rear suspension to make them fit to the chassis. regards Christian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hi there, Now the test phase is finally over. Version 3.5 is now the final. Now body and chassis fit together. I changed the whole thing again because I couldn't use the chassis as a whole in the body. Now it's still possible. I also printed a few small parts that now need to be fine-tuned. Here you can see the left and right hand drive version. Thanks! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-schorsch Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Thank you for the praise! We went a little further now. The engine is installed. Was quite easy. Everything was simply put together and fits without major modifications. The original engine mount of the suspension also holds the engine in place here. In the latest version, I added pins so that everything is in the right place. Tires and rims also fit without rework. Almost finished interior. I only have to make small changes to the gearbox and adjust some of the alignment when printing. Greeting Christian 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Fantastic stuff Christian - can almost hear the induction roar of those Webers (and watch the fuel gauge going down....!!) It all looks really good - and brings back happy memories of real ones owned so long ago....!! Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Badger Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Looking great so far, I'm enjoying following progress. On the tyres, are you printing them in hard resin like the rest? Do you know about the uv resins that when printed give a soft black rubber like material? I'll be using some for a big batch of F1 tyres (especially wet tyres to replace some slicks in a tamiya kit) and it's no more expensive than most resins... Slightly better realistic look without having to paint and you can sand them to get that scrubbed in-use look... but also you can play with the print wall thickness so you get the slight sidewall bulge just right for the weight of the car. Might be worth a try perhaps? Edited March 13, 2022 by Flying Badger typos corrected 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks Guys! @Flying Badger: Never heard about that rubber like resin so far. But i tried different types of clear resin without any big beter solutions than before. I used some very expensive one but at the end i landed by my old small budger clear resin which was easier to produce prints. Dont know if i should try the rubber one? Formula One tires can be seen all around.These here are hidden mostly under the wheel arches. Will think about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This is very impressive. The detail has printed beautifully. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-schorsch Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thank you very much! Now the little one got his suspensions. Everything really fits without a lot of grinding. Simply plug it together and apply some glue. Done! All units are also housed in the engine compartment. Looks pretty good so far. And he's already standing on his fat little legs! I like the wide tires. Greeting Christian 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Oh wow, what a stunning model, or should I say stunning replica. You have captured the detail superbly and it looks absolutely amazing. Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
