Great stuff, those kind of projects were the reason I bought my printer, I just can't find the time to do the CAD work :cry:

Badi, how did you come up with the measurements for the suspension?

It's an awesome project.

Yes,

I have some parts already printed, just need to find the time to post. Fitments have not been a problem, they have worked well.

I measured other Formula 1 cars and compared pictures to check if they were accurated and in the end it was made by comparision with pictures.

It is just difficult to assemble without glue, but you can check. Everything will be fine.

Hello,

Some interesting update I would say. I took me many hours to develop this part.

If you want to see big pictures, just click with you mouse right button and open it in new window.

The engine has been the most diffcult part until now.
