This makes me really want to get into 3D printing.. although I don’t think I could ever reproduce something as incredible as this. Great work, always excited to see updates from this thread!

Redbox, congratulations for an outstanding project ! Masterfully executed and very inspiring for me to finally think about a full scratch build as well. Your project has indeed pulled the trigger

Happy to read that my work is somehow inspiring.

3D CAD modeling and printing is what I do since university, 15 years ago... this helped me.
Using 3D CAD isn't the only task, you need to design each part in order to be printed and post-produced the best way.
So some knowledge of 3D printing tecniques is also required.
Decal vector design is equally needed, plus some silicone molding here and there.

What I can suggest is: do not think about all these skills together or you will never start...
Start "loosing time" on one activity, one at a time.
At first this effort has no purpose: no models will be created.
But you will learn how to do each task.
The willing of doing it better will help during the process!

Wheels are finished.
I'll add some hand written tags once the model is finished.
