Incredible! Your print looks as good as the injection molded part. Me thinks you made a wise choice with the QIDI printer.

If you want a dryer and an AMS then get a food dryer , it's what I use , goes upto 75°C and does nylons and PC just fine if you give it enough time , I wouldn't even consider spending big money on a purpose made filament dryer . I looked into a food dryer; it's a great option especially for drying ...

I prefer the blue, if that's what you're asking. I see the blue VW in the background though, so you may prefer to have orange instead.

Orange

However the Rough Rider's body always seemed closer to the blue Bel-Ray Bullet than to Bob Maynard's ...

For me it's orange all the way.
And, I were building a Buggy Champ, I'd ditch the radio box, mount the battery to the chassis plate lengthwise and mod the body so the sides roll under like the box art.

Orange feels right. Will also get a vintage/repro decal sheet. Found a set of Centerlines for the 1.7" Tamiya wheels. Had to do it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/332339169637 https://i.imgur.com/54S2EsY.jpg Cool! My very first RC vehicle was painted orange and white so maybe I'm a little biased. I ...

The Manx dune buggy chassis is supposed to be printed out of Nylon, but I used Silver PLA instead, with a 0.20mm layer height and using the Strength preset. https://i.imgur.com/TmzOhs7.jpg Even the ugly side isn't too bad, and was pretty easy to clean the supports off of, for once. https://i.imgur....

Was listening to some printer news and they were discussing a possibly problem with the qidi, something worth looking at to make sure you are not effected. Here is a topic on it showing the ssr module and how to access it. Bambu has a problem on their bed slingers that was discovered similarly and l...

Here is the buggy champ I built with those style wheels anodized blue.

Never painted it still sits the way you see it.

No not yet it's only been like 10 years since i built it.

Yesterday, technically. Made a couple of trips to a park near my cousins. Did some good running. I have a couple of vids I'll post later. That GT rips with the .15 OS in it! No video of that, unfortunately.

Tried a "hack" to get some dimension into a driver figure.
The body was stripped of it's original paint by using brake fluid. Original paint was water based.
The body is probably as old as the car, a RC12L.
