I destroyed the Simca last week
Sun melted the car thanks to my choice of BLACK filler. Had it around 30min in the sun while preparing small parts to be ready to be sprayed.

I needed some time to mourn about my own stupidy...... Last week when weather went sunny i wanted to spray last filler layer onto the body. Since i had a big bottle of filler spray i thought i would also prepare the small interior parts. That took around 30min while the black car body was sitting in the sun.....
Result, the whole roof is a big ocean wave and the top of the fron area is bended inwards....

Oh crap!!
That's terrible news!

I know some types of filament don't like sun at all, can that be it and not due the filler?

:-(
I stopped trying to do multitasking on some type of works specifically because of accidents like that...
I buy kits to built and ru(i)n them :-)

I suggest print a new roof and chop the old one off.
Should be the least amount of work needed to fix it.
