Really interesting topic.

NimROD generously sent me the files tonight so I will be puzzling away with a mate to work out how to print them out.
Would appreciate any tips people have.

thanks

Very impressive, that chassis looks very interesting too??

I used the standard settings for ABS with the exception of cranking up the temp to 250c and laying down the layers at 0.20mm with a 0.30mm base, and a final temp of 245, and 30% infill. There may be a little string action going on but I can live with that better than the

Now its time to add a coat of the XTC-3D so that I can start cleaning out the support material. I started doing that to preserve the print a little more, especially with this one with the wiper detail and the windshield posts being so thin. After cleaning the plan is to throw some mud inside to make a mold of for the windows thus trying out my new vacuum mold machine.

I have just been reading all these threads after Vlad mentioned it to me.
I have only had my Anet running for a couple of months,after it sitting here for a year.
But this is a great addition to this Forum.
As for Group 7 cars I do a few hard to find Resins Matich SR3 and SR4, early Toyota and Nissan 382.
I have only just started to try Printing bodies, trouble is I compare them to my resin.
Is there a tread on cleaning up thesevprinted bodies?

It took me only about 30 minutes to do so. Steve H (racer1h here) is about the king of printed builds at the moment. I think he doesn't sleep...

Very nice job on the McCleagle, where did you get that high wing?

Gurney finally succumbed and put a big block Chevy in the car. It was that way when he sold it to Bobby Brown, and runs that way today.
Car originally had small Ford with Gurney-Weslake heads; no bundle of snakes exhaust like the Ford Indy engines had.
The most visual difference with the McLeagle was the rear deck lid. It started with the factory deck but soon lost the lower portion in the center, becoming flat side to side.
Fern Design Models made a nice, but expensive, 1/24 version of the car.
