Ferrari 499P

   

Never been that fussed by the LMH cars that look very similar and seem to bear a passing resemblance to Darth Vader's hat, but was impressed by Anthony's collection so had a peruse on the web for files. The Ferrari 499P caught my eye so bought the file collection (1/8, 1/10 &1/24 plus separated parts of the shell) from CGTrader and using the 1/24 STL file scaled down to 1/32 printed this. 

The file is not the easiest to manipulate as there are mesh errors, but after a lot of to & fro between Blender and Meshmixer managed to edit the file as needed to get a 1st off to see where the problems are. The file is high definition which is excellent for quality but strains the PC to edit due to the large file sizes incurred. 

Will have a another go on this, as the shell weight is 35 grms which is a porker by any ones standards so this needs to go on a diet, and need to re-look at the vertical supports arrangement around the rear.

File is printed vertically on a FDM printer at 0.1mm layer height using Bambu labs PLA tough which gives a nice gloss finish. 

Cheers
