Printing guide for Speedster

Salt Flat Speedster Printing Guide- use as a guide only,
There are many ways to print these parts dependent on your printer,software,your knowledge etc. Listed is how I went about it using Slic3rPE and Prusa i3 mk3 printer and  a small number of parts using Makerbot replicator 2.
Chassis

parts
1,2,3,4,5,6, these parts make up the main chassis.

 Next build is for the rear end
7 linkbar rear ,
17 rear axle short (2),
18 rear axle centre,
19 bearing blank (2) ( if you are not using the 5mm by 16 mm bearing),
20 & 21 Rear Link arms
Chassis frame -you will need some bamboo skewers (3mm dia) or similar to
locate these parts. I also heat staked/welded them together







parts 17  and 19 are printed standing up

 18 the diff is place on the tail shaft entry face
and i only used support up to the base
of the axle hole

 parts 8,9,10 & 11 were printed together all have flat sides


 22 hubs printed with support




 23 bomber seat was printer on its side, no support required
12 & 13 floor printed standing on end support used , floors shown on chassis here

 15 steering rod and 16 tail shaft simple prints

that completes parts 1 to 23 chassis,floor seats, front end

Body

24 back . i adjusted the width of the support to 5 mm and printed at 0.2


 25 & 26
bonnet/hood sides



 27 bonnet / hood support used


28 boot lid with support
 29 roof  support for only about 20 to 30 layers ( printing like this it got a bit hot and distorted the roof facing the build plate) so not sure what to do here just be aware)


30 fire wall with hinge slots
 31& 32 grill and surround uses support
31 is flat print with fine setting

33 & 34 doors support to about 20 layer
35 and 36 side rails these were printed on their side.

Head lights use support. 46, 47
head light glass 43 printed standing up to get effect


50 to 57 V8 flathead blown twin carbs
Block and auto build on flat back
