As an add on the my review

Pimp my interior...2D
I think we can all agree that, besides the nice dash decal, the Sideways M6 GT3 interior is rather plain and simple.
So I'd already done some detail drawings for the decal set, like seatbelts and a new Dash panel ( as I did not want my car stuck in "Reverse" all the time)

So I continued drawing, adding the steering wheel, centre console, let's just say I got a bit carried away.



And then I though, "what else can I do in 2D to Pimp my interior", without modifying/ scratch building the lot?
So I added some floor and doorpanel detail, gave the driver some legs and added wiring and a proper fire exstinguisher.
This will most likely need to become a separate decal sheet, but at least those of you that do like to pimp their interiors ....in the future... for the Sideways M6 GT3..
You can just put a sticker on it  




Pimp your M6 GT3..3D
Some introduction required here, gents meet Rasmus Sandø Larsen, as the name suggest, a Danish slotracer who besides making nice slot cars is also active with 3D printing.
I've invited him to post some of his work here as his Playstation M6 GT3 is a real beauty. Nice paint job, well applied Slotfabrik decals and some nice detailed wheels...
...but what really drew my attention on his post on the Facebook Slotcars and 3D printing group  were these nice flexible wing supports he printed from a filament material called Ninjaflex.


The thing is Sideways' flexible wing is a great product that will make many very happy, but its a one piece part, both wing and the supports are cast as one.
And while I'm very happy with the fit and dimensions of the supports...I am afraid the wing itself is too flexible for my taste.
I'm afraid that once paint and decals are applied they will flake and or peel off  as the wing gets bend in a crash.
So here's were Ramsus's flexible supports would be an ideal compromise as he's modelled them to the same dimensions as the Sideways part, meaning they will fit to the stock "hard plastic" wing.

So I got in touch with him and he's shared his STL file on the FB page, so anyone with a filament 3D printer can print it. I'll most likely will ask him to print a batch that I'll send over to Steven Verelst..
...so you can order it via his SV Workz webshop.


After chatting with Rasmus I thought, what else could we use this (Ninja)Flex material for, come up with several ideas some good some not so practical to 3D print.
But this one (pictured above) did work out quite well, one of the trade marks of any modern racecar interior, the safety nets.
We got some other stuff to try and test print, seat's anyone ?, or flexible safety belts?


With kind regards
