Next to arrive is a Creality Raptor Pro 3d scanner. Between these two new tools, some super cool things will be showing up soon!


Cool buys! Looking forward to seeing where you go.



Can I ask why you chose the Raptor over the Metro X?

Awesome build, but being a Ferrari drive train, are you gonna need gold plated jack stands? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

He needs to put Boxster calipers on it, and put these on the calipers: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1451978890/6-x...ion0=3452963433


And I want to be around when the first pasta rocket owners see this car.

@jd74914 - I watched a number of video reviews and I got the impression either would be fine for my needs. No specific reason other than maybe a couple of the YouTubers I follow have the Raptor. (So apparently those sponsorships really do pay off!)

@ClayPerrine - The only "Ferrari" on it will be the intake. I know they're the same as the Boxster calipers but it seems too obvious (not the engine isn't!). They won't be red, either. If I do end up with Boxster calipers, they'll be dark (grey or black) and say "Brembo".
I'm looking at another brake option but it may be too big a stretch.
For now, all the focus needs to be on making it run. Then I'll worry about the other stuff.

Another thing that's sure to aggravate the Ferrari crowd is the license plate. I'll reveal that once it arrives.

It's comforting to know that even with new, fancy software (I'm using Fusion) and the 3D printer hardware, it still takes me multiple versions to get what I want. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Here's V4 of the my first 3D part: door bar trim rings for the LS car. Yes, this is the Ferrari build but they are both my builds so I'll post wherever I like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Big thanks to Andrew @TheRuttmeister for whipping up the initial design. You can see it - and download the files - here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...900&st=4580

Anyway, I ended up starting from scratch and made two major updates:
1. a 10% size reduction that, on a part this small, makes a big difference
2. hidden fasteners on the outer side

Andrew used glass fiber PETG whereas I used PLA. I also ran at .1mm layer thickness and am REALLY impressed with the surface finish.

Given I've been at Fusion and this printer for essentially one day, I'm happy with how things are coming along.
