Gents, I’m not sure this can be translated outside of English. Especially, New York City English....

I’m originally from NYC. And New Yorkers, when confronted with stuff that’s on the borderline between real and impossible usually react with a spoken...

“FORGETABOUTIT”

Go ahead, say it, it’s meant to be a high honor. Amazing stuff, Uli.

Thanks, guys :-)

there was a question on the thickness of the cylinder fins in 1:12. The answer is 0.175 mm

I'd be interested in purchasing 1/8 scale; add IXO to the 1/18 Porsche 917 model list, it will be able in subscription form around April -the#20 McQueen Leamsn car-no doubt the #23 Salzberg Lemans winner will be released eventually ........

Hello. Excellent project. I notice that in the first post, you show the raw 3D prints of the crankcase halves with the support structures. They are printed at an angle. I am wondering why they are printed at such an angle?

Eagle, thx for your interest in the 1/8. However 1:12 will be the smallest scale for this project. In 1/18 there would be too many trade offs in terms of accuracy and details

Regarding the question on the print angle of the crankcase parts, The 1:6 parts are large and need to fit on the printer platform (Anycubic Mono SE) and a angle >30 degree anyway helps in terms of print quality

I. met to say 1/8 scale for the IXO, not 1.18th my error.

ALways amazing to follow your build but this looks epic!

What printer are you using? I really want to start looking in learning the 3D-CAD design for some of my project...
