It is quite amazing that a request for a new forum on Slot Racer for 3D printing is a go do it, and lo it appears, whereas on the other UK forum a similar request is met with a flood of angst. Don’t know who requested (I can guess) but well done to that person and to Slot Racer for setting up this new forum. Hopefully it will encourage the slot racer 3DP community to contribute.
To jolly things a long below is a control tower I knocked up for the Digital club Falcon Raceways based in Basildon near London (there on FB here).

If any one wants a free editable DWG of this file then please get in touch via forum IM.
Cheers

That looks great! Any photos of a print of it yet?
I'm not used to DWG files, and that's not listed in the file types PrusaSlicer can open. Is there a way to convert that to STL or 3MF or even OBJ?

Here is the printed tower.
with a Scalex Mini for size comparison. Can supply the file as a series of STLs i.e. base, control box, roof, and make your own sign.
Only too pleased to support this initiative by Slot Racer.

Hopefully, I've now added dwg and stl files to the allowed attachments here on the forum, along with obj and 3ds files.
It's currently untested but if you try it it out, please let me know how you get along.

Thank you Jason.
Here is the DWG file of the tower which is editable. Will punt up the STLs soon as I need to recreate them from the source file.
Hopefully this all works.
Cheers Jmay.
Edit STL files added.

Would it be possible to add 3mf files to that list?
