DMC DeLorean From-Scratch-Build 3 years 11 months ago #58980

As asked for here ( tamiyabase.com/...many#58971 ) some information about my DeLorean:

Part #1: Printing!

1. I found the DeLorean on Thingiverse, downloaded the STL
2. Then I scaled it to match 257mm wheelbase using MeshMixer
3. I cut it in 8 or 9 parts to print it using MeshMixer
4. I printed it.. (total printing time around 50+ hours, not including failed prints)
5. Then I sanded the connecting surfaces and glued it together

Part #2 coming up...

Part #2: Sanding!


Lights are too deep, had to fill em up


Filling...using some Nigrin product


The rear part was printed separately and the main part sawed to size.


More filling...(sanding to be done)

Part #3: Vacuum Forming


Wooden box with lots of holes. Drilling them was so boring. On the side a 35mm hole to connect the vacuumer.


Two Rowi Heaters in a 60cm tall box. On top a frame with PETG clamped in


After the vacuum forming (not fully filled and sanded).

Numbers:
Around 140-150°C works pretty good.

Part 5: The result (for now, I shelved it for while since the endless sanding really annoyed me)
