3d Model

[NSTG8R]

I thought I would update the 'Donk' model. I updated the 3d model online. This type of mod begs for all three wheels to be viewed. So this mod does that and also you don't have to remove anything to fix the rear tire when flat. Just imagine this is the dark with those blue led lights inside the tail, at the underbelly, and at the front wheels.

SWEET!

Are those functional turn/tail lights on the rear wheel fairings? That would look cool as h*ll going down the road at night!

Yep. Could have done square or strip lights, but I did round ones on this version. Has that rocket look!. :-)

BTW, here's my desk-top Tron toy. Lots of options here for the 'Tron' look.
Check out the costume for my grand son. Cute ain't he? I call that the 'south park - kneel minions' look!

Windblade, welcome to the forum and congratulations on a fantastic model. There are many of us out here who would love to be able to buy one of your creations. Enjoy the journey with us.

Are you interested in mass producing these windblade? I know I would buy a couple

Nice! Which 3D printer did you purchase? I got a Robo 3D a couple weeks ago, but have been so busy with work, and fixing everybody and their brother's cars, i haven't had a chance to play with it (still in the box for Pete's sake!!)
Not sure if you're into creating your own CAD files to print, but an opensource 'free' CAD program that has about as low of a learning curve as I've ever seen is Designspark Mechanical. There's some great tutorials on Youtube if you want to check it out. I've actually created some things at home on my laptop using Designspark, emailed myself the .stl file at work (Boeing), and sent it to a friend down in R&D Tooling, who sent it to his guy in the 3D Print Shop (Commercial grade printers...NICE!), and had it back to me for testing in a matter of a couple days. 3D printing is the future of manufacturing, and getting exponentially better every year.

I think this Dominos delivery car is a good idea applied to an Elio. You would need only one hatch on the driver side to make this work, keeping the window. I may 3d model that one. Also a good idea if you have a baby in back. And then there is the 'Incident Boss' command car I have in mind.
