Re: Bormac's Nichimo Midships 443 WDS - An unexpected project

The roll cage parts are quite long, and they may be too long for a viable 3Dprint. I'll check this.

As for the files, I'm not finished yet, as there is still some ongoing work, but I'll publish them at some point (I'm not sure when yet). Keep watching this thread :)

Re: Bormac's Nichimo Midships 443 WDS - An unexpected project

Concerning the whole cage, maybe you could print the cage as rods, not solid, and use some 1-2mm carbon or metal inside the rods to join and strengthen them... just a quick idea... Had already some thoughts about this : the problem is that Nichimo plastic are not very strong and making a roll cage ...

Re: Bormac's Nichimo Midships 443 WDS - An unexpected project

Impressive work and thanks for your response. For my car I just need the last little element of that cage, that should be no problem for a 3d printed part. Maybe I will just glue it, or I will strengthen the joint with some thin carbon rovings. Bildschirmfoto 2022-06-15 um 11.27.07.png Bildschirmfo...

At the front of the cage maybe 20-25mm from front is a cross piece with screws in it, you could hide a joint there that might make it just short enough for commercial printing, it would also be away from most roll over stress.

Re: Bormac's Nichimo Midships 443 WDS - An unexpected project

Hi, I am your neighbour, in Germany. :D Ok : you may try i.materialise.com (located in Belgium) or weerg.com located in Italy. Alternatively jlcpcb.com (located in China, but you have a way to have it shipped with VAT included so its worry free), cost wise it may be the best option. And by the way,...

Re: Bormac's Nichimo Midships 443 WDS - An unexpected project

Today, I got some pictures from my friend Bormac ... He allowed to share them. It was about the Midships bodyshell attempt... Just a few reminders before the pics : - this is a dimensional test, which means the mould was taken straight out of the printer and the vac forming was done without any addi...
