Hey, give 'em a break, will ya?
After all, RC10 part designs are INCREDIBLY complex.

Those 5-lugs look great.
I can't get over how much your silver filament parts look like die cast aluminum.
I know you're building this for display, are you planning to paint anything or just leave it natural? Just curious.

I envy your patience.
It's the fiddling with settings to make the darn thing work that kept me away from printing for so long. I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing. I expect everything to work like a toaster.

Well, those prints look great. There's nothing wrong with your printer.

I've ordered some transparent PETG. I hear it can be tricky to print but hopefully I'm able to make some clear lenses.

Nice build!! The black/blue theme definitely works for me.
Having both AE rere's and FanRC, Fan's quality is definitely superior. I really hope he survives the war.

Thanks for the model. :D I ran into similar orientation problems with the F-100 and ended up separating it into panels (doors, roof, back, cowl, fenders, etc.) and making custom supports for each part. It's a lot of work but it was the only way I've found to make acceptable prints and reduce filling...

So am I. :D Anyway, yes, the F-100's engine block houses a Tamiya brushed 380 motor, the C6 transmission houses a metal planetary gear set pulled from a stepper motor I found on ebay. So, I just watched a how-to video and Orca's cut feature definitely will work to remove the top allowing you to prin...

Thanks for the images. Now that I can zoom in, navigate and inspect it closely, it's a really nice model!! And, I can modify it to make whatever we want. That pickup version caught my eye and I can imagine printing a fleet of VW bus variations however we first discussed creating a barn door so that'...

Nice work! Much thanks, I'll print it now! I started out with the Cut line set like this, to remove the roof, took 2 seconds to set it and forget it, pressed Perform Cut: https://i.imgur.com/LqHE3ci.jpg What just happened??? https://i.imgur.com/QCP7014.jpg It cut the band that joins the roof to the...

The body actually looks pretty good -- especially when you consider that it was printed in one piece. Things like door handles, lights and the VW medallion really should be printed separately so everything can be easily prepped for paint. This can be done with this model. You have perhaps the first ...

Y'all were right; this isn't simply a Worlds re-release. It is AE's attempt to replicate the '93 IFMAR winning car and create a nice tribute to a great RC racer who is no longer with us.
That makes this one very special.
I've gone ahead with a pre-order.

Hmm, not sure what is happening. As a test, I've made a new build plate, imported the body, rescaled by 50% and rotated so it fits the plate. Then, I've repeated the process for the roof. This was done in Bambu Studio. 50 percent scale.JPG In Orca, if you rescale each part by the same percentage, ar...

Thanks! I didn't use percentages when scaling, just typed in an absolute number for both parts on the Y-axis. I'll measure the body first, and make the difference up on the roof next time. This model might be good for road running, or demolition derby, but it's not shelf worthy unfortunately :). I'...

Still an option. https://mciracing.ca/collections/team-associated/products/1-10th-associated-rc10-turbo-mirage-box-art-decals?sort_by=manual I got that decal set (2 sets, actually) after the 2014 re-re. Quality was typical MCI (good, not great) so I used the paint drops decals to create masks and p...
