To print those parts faster you can replace to 0.6 nozzle, it will decrease the time dramatically. Just checked in the slicer and each straight parts will take just 45 minutes

@@RoadsideRC Indeed. I also found out that when space is limited , adding a timing system can open a world of challenges and competitions even on a very small track (here is an example from my living room: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLx0aMWkv82xYqM.html )

thanks for providing the 3D print files! Might try and suggest some locals to use them for their tracks instead of using normal tapes. However the video seems more focused on track layout instead of surfaces though, would love to see you suggest what kind of surfaces (or p tiles) a beginner should learn to drift on to start practicing
@RoadsideRC Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes - not focused on the surface - I should have added that!! My suggestion is always to use the slickest surface and hardest tire possible. It is more difficult, but if you can drift on that - you can drift anywhere.

I'm glad you made this because just a few months ago I spent a lot of time searching for basic track info. I did wind up finding the garden edging but this would have been very helpful. I'm sure this will help anyone looking to make a home track like I was. Love the idea of the 3D print tracksides and barriers. I wonder if it would be cost prohibitive to sell a set or sets on something like shapeways or similar service? I don't know if they require any upfront investment by the seller. Undoubtedly they take a commission on all sales
@RoadsideRC Жыл бұрын
Thanks Andy!! I bet you are right, someone could probably sell these and at least make a little $$. Like I mentioned in the video, the time for printing really was the big hassle here.

It's a good thing that they move, prevents damqge to the car. I'd rather move track pieces back then replace parts or scuff up my bodies.but some 2 sided tape would probably do it.

I don't own a 3d printer, is there a 3d print service online you recommend for printing these Troy? Or maybe someone in the community who wants to do it for me lol :D Great idea, I had a feeling when you first showed some of these on the desk. I could see the drift clips getting revisions to click to the track pieces as well. I have been makign my own clips using poly tubes, magnets and cute little bells lol :D
@RoadsideRC Жыл бұрын
Robin! Great idea on revising the drift clips to hook in there. I might just do that!!!! I think the best bet is getting someone local to print them for you. Not sure about online printing services - but maybe someone does it.
