OpenRC F1 250% scaled by ColorFabb

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The project
We took Daniel's original OpenRC F1 car and made it big!
Scaling it to 250% of it's original size means this project is over 1m long and weighs about 8,5kg in total.
All of the original files have been modified to work on the larger size as well as accept larger bearings and bolts.
To allow remote control of this beast we custom designed a gearbox with a large reduction ratio and redesigned part of the steering arrangement to combine it with a simply massive steering servo.

More details about the build and the internal mechanics will be revealed in the coming weeks, but with these files you can already start building your own 1 meter long OpenRC F1 car remix.

The materialsThe full range of copolysters from colorFabb was used, each part produced in the filament which matches with the specific part.

XT-CF20 for various chassis parts, colorFabb_XT for the general technical parts, colorFabb_HT for the high-strength technical parts, nGen for the bodywork and nGen_FLEX for the tyres.

The printer(s)This print is not for the faint-hearted and requires a big printer to print the body and chassis parts. For this job we used the Stacker S4 and we needed all of it's XY build volume to complete the biggest of parts. Some smaller parts were printers on various other printers, mostly Ultimakers.
