Great job. Did you do a scan of an original to get your program?

Nice work! Can you provide more details about breaking the bridge up into 16 prints? For example, "where" did you divide it into 16 separate prints - your design software or your slicer software or ???

Thanks all....but all I had to do was print it.
All of the files are up on Thingiverse. I can find a link later, but if you search "Dunlop" or "slotcar" you will be able to find it and download the files. I just loaded them into Simplify3D and printed.
My printer is small enough that I had to print the flat pieces one at a time. The foot path and steps I printed both pieces in one session. The tire pieces I did two at a time but that was pretty marginal....I would suggest one at a time unless you have a larger bed.

Thanks for the info Paul. This is all foreign to me, but I do want to learn how it works and what it can do. I'm looking forward to the time when I can make something and send it to somebody to scan and they can print a couple pieces at a fairly cheap price. Like a lot of technology that day may not be far away. Tech moves fast.

Matt,
The scanning tech is here now.... that's just harder to do at home. You can build a home scanner but it takes a commercial unit to be good. But there is definitely a use for vintage parts (Lola GT front valance, etc). Intake stacks etc are easy now. Bodies are more complicated.....
