RC car track segments
Description
my local racing club closed down in November, and the nearest track is over an hour away... so I designed some jersey wall type barriers for curves. These barriers are scaled for 1/10th scale cars, but can be used for smaller ones easily. Each segment is about 6" long and 2 inches wide (not including overlaps... I also included a start and end barrier... I designed 2 different taper pins, one that prints flat on the bed for optimal strength, the other is fully round and prints standing up on the large end. I am printing 9kg of them currently in the cheapest PETG I could find... (about $11/kg) the barriers half red and half white, with orange pins. ( I am about halfway done) You can fit 4 end barriers on a 235mm bed, or 5 barriers. I decided to do the straight pieces with 4" pvc ripped into quarters and cut into 30" pieces (sprayed with red stripes) These should stack well for storage... plus it gives me a project for the stack of pipes I have in my basement. I will upload a track picture when I get a full layout done. I will probably print end caps that glue onto the pvc pipes and link into the barriers too... and round 180 turn plates. Happy racing
