The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Looks like something anybody could 3D print at home

Start from refference images, don't use whacky blueprints, better use real car photos, if you can find decent ones. I also suggest to use cladding method instead of box sculpting.

What in the holy hell is classing method? I've never heard of that...

I wouldn't trust something 3D printed in holding my 2m 100kg self I'm still trying around with the springs, one I chose for the gas pedal turned out too strong for longer race use. I got a bunch of springs for 3€ each

 

[mantasisg]

I wonder if it is necessary to have heavy pedal in simracing, since it is heavy in race car because of G forces, isn't it ? I think 3D printing materials can be rather strong, I've seen guys riding 3D printed skateboards in braille YT channel. The technology is comming. LOL I've seen "the press" channel making worlds largest fidggegsgest spinner

@ALB123 The cladding method is simply extruding edges of faces, starting by easiest areas of the car, and moving towards more curved parts. Box method is very difficult, I've started XJ13 with box method, next cars I have started using cladding, it was way better

Don't forget that I use G25 pedals extended by 50mm, more leverage, so they always were weaker than the stock pedals, and after few years of usage even a little rattly. But with the setup I have now I can heel-toe easier as the break offers more resistance thus stability. I ended up putting the old clutch pedal spring into the gas pedal, as a result I no longer push myself away from the wheel

@garyjpaterson mighty fine. And I see CAE stays loyal to his dual exhaust

Yeah, I think its part of the ruleset looking at some of the others. They were just protruding directly out of the engine cover, tried to spice it up a bit with the shrinkwrap bodywork. Will have some metal heatshielding too I think.

You want the spring force to be tuned for the weight of your foot. If the spring is too light then you will have to hover your foot to apply part throttle. Eventually you'll get tired

My feet are heavy, size 50 (14 in US)

I was more about the brake pedal being heavy. IDK how heavy the throttle should be, medium-light throttle is not a problem for me

Doing my best Kenny Brack impression at the WIP Goodwood Circuit by @mantasisg

Here's a better track comparison video with E92 M3's

Finally got round to a set of wheels - the overlapping 'low drag' part did complicate the rim blur texture though, got it in the end.

I hope this won't stop the development of your awesome mod @stingray_SIX_TWO

 

[formulaHEINE]

That Dacia part on that deal was unexpected!

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Really sad/bad news I hope the AC project continues and we get to drive this great looking car

 

[garyjpaterson]

I don't see why @stingray_SIX_TWO and @mclarenf1papa's project should stop, they already have the cad model and data.

Kind of not surprising though, its been so long since this Perrin thing started, I'm not sure I ever believed it'd actually race. Definitely a shame though.

 

[VaporOne]

I would say for those who are lmp1 fans.. Remain optimistic.. It has been rumored that they are in talks with a diffrent supplier..
Hopefully it means ginetta.. I have really admired the ginneta project..
Unfortanly perrinn wont be succesfull yet but im looking forward to try it in assetto corsa..
Keep up the good work!

 

[movo.]

@mantasisg @Andy-R Goodwood looks awesome! Can't wait to drive it.

 

[mantasisg]

Thats 3 weeks of work when you have a lidar data for medium size track like Goodwood

Of course, the further you go, the harder are steps. Real track is one of the most beautiful in the world IMO, and it is very simple, down to earth, cosy place. I hope to capture that.
