I have the chassis tucked under now with running gear for the DBR1 plus the interior in position so I could check the fit and set up the suspension, axle heights , guide height etc and give it a run. Pleased with the result even with the interior fitted still only 11 grms for the body shell and with the allowed Flat 6S motor flies around my home track.
Haven't taken any more pics yet as I will print another shell & interior with all the improvements (ribs, shown in red in my last post) the 1st set has highlighted.
On that subject I used Cura to get the following picture.
Can be seen that the bonnet (and other areas) are only one 0.4mm layer thick as Cura was showing only one pass. I went back into CAD sectioned the bonnet (hood) and found that the section thickness was actually 0.52mm which explains firstly why it feels flimsy and secondly a 1/3 lighter compared to the Cobra which 0.9-1.0mm thick. Decided to leave this as is, and apart from the ribs around the rear arches and the bonnet area, just thicken up the detached rear by shrinking and cut and pasting a 2nd part inside the 1st, as this was see through and ripe for a rear ender that would wreck it.
Cheers
