A Small Distraction.....

I really should be out replacing the engine mounts on my car, but instead I've been playing with this.....

The parts are 3D printed in 1/16 scale....a bit of a push for the small bits, like the alternater fan, which crumpled upon handling, as did it's pulley, though the ring gear for the flywheel amazed me it came through as well as it did.....

I prefer what you've done to your engine mounts, but... :lol:

Perfect! Like one too! So nice!
What CAD drawing did you use as base?
Here in endless lockdown I did a little beach scene, which gives me a little Holiday feeling. Unfortunately there is no Lotus S2 in the scene. I odered one from Spark - it never came...

I suspect if your open, quite a few members might be interested them (or larger scale one), as make a pretty cool desk curio.

I am somewhat interested but wouldn't want to put you out if its a hassle to print/post etc.
