It's been quite a while since I posted a build report but here goes.



After finally getting my own 3D printer last year and playing with it doing detail parts I decided to try and do a complete project from scratch.
So I spent the first two months of this year building data. It's a mix of polygon data for the main body and nurbs surface modeling for the detailing and „small“ parts.
Since it's a lot of time invested I went for a subject that's unlikely to ever be made by someone else. So here's a shot of the body on wheels and a few extra bits so you can guess what it is :-)



Since my Phrozen Mini 8K doesn't have a big building room I had to print the body in 2 halves and assemble them.
I had to do a surprising amount of sanding to clean up the body surfaces.
The printer is better with small parts and/or I need more experience doing bigger stuff :-)

I also printed the „rest“ of the small bits.



Now it's time to put on some primer and then paint and a lot of decals...

That`s cool!!
But lot of decals?? P..... 9R3 LMP 2000

Gorgeous.

I don't know what it is, but you kids with your new toys are amazing. I love building these 3D kits, I find they are actually easier than injected kits. I have yet to fill an injector mark or scrape and sand a lot of mold lines. My heros!

Great job so far!!!

Any JK project is going to be great!
Following with interest!

By the way, which scale are we talking about Joachim? 1:24 ?
Printed parts are looking good, looking forward to the next update!

It's indeed the never raced Porsche LMP2000 in 1:24.
Since the original car is unpainted carbon fiber with only a few sponsor decals on top there'll be a lot of decaling necessary.
I don't just want to paint it black

Can’t be painted. Will look sooo good with carbon weave.

Nice looking project JK. Sent you a PM.
