Tesla Model 3 1/10 Rc
Description
My attempt to build a Tesla Model 3 body for 1/10 RC Car. Full credits for awesome model for stunner2211! I'm still trying different settings and techniques of printing. This is very early stage of project. Once the body will be in one piece I am going to sand it, finish with filler and paint it. The chassis need a new swing arms to meet the dimension of the body I found a nice technique to create clear headlight lamp shade... soon I will post some videos :) of course the body will be equipped with full lights system UPDATE 01.05.2021 V3 changes: . body splitted in two parts in length instead of three. . Windows and roof printed as a separate component and roof pillar as a another part. . Recesses in the places of headlights and taillights After test sanding of V2 model I found that joints are in the wrong place and it would be very hard to make them invisible. Additional it would be extremely hard to make windows and roof glass super flat without touching frames and roof pillars. I decided to try print the body with only one joint in length. My model is 453mm long so after cut in the middle Z axis need to travel 226,5mm which is possible on my printer. I separate roof and windows as another module without pillar so now it is much easier to sand flat surfaces. I am aiming for glass surfaces quality and it looks like it is possible with those parts separation. I spent many hours applying a spray putty and sanding and I am still far away from final result but so far I am pleased with results and whole concept. There is definitely something wrong with my printer, because I have a huge gaps in the shell on the beginning of the each layer. I tried to fix it but without success so far. As long the start of the new layer is on the bottom of the model it is not a problem, the bottom will be removed anyway. *If you will try to print it, make sure the beginning of the layer is on the bottom of the model, even if you have no problem with extrusion settings. My extrusion problems cause also problems with infill so I had to use "ninfill_multiplier =2" in Cura to make infill walls double, other way they would not stick to the shell. My print strategy was to use nozzle size 0.8mm and only 1 wall count plus only 10% as a "ninfill_overlap" (to make infill connection invisible from outside). Layer height 0.3mm and speed 50mm/s. Yes body parts, front and rear was printer around 12 hours each :) Sorry if posted to much pictures in the gallery.
