1969 Valiant Slicing

I wish I was more computer literate. 3D printing looks like a lot of fun.

I learned about 3D printing at YouTube University. The 3D Cad and Slicing software is free. You just need a 3D printer and a decent one can be bought for about $170. Tinker Cad is entry level easy to use 3D cad software. Cura is good slicing software. Start by printing any of the 3D models that are free on the web to learn the Slicer software the the printer. Once that is under your belt, try 3D cad.

Before and after shots of the dash. I made a instrument cluster that is symmetrical about the steering column. It will hold the speedometer, tach, and indicator lights. To the left, I have the headlights and wiper switches. Made some bezels for the switches using the 3D printer and chrome nail polish.

I think I am finished with the design of my shifter cover. It was 3D resin printed, hand painted, and the brushes are from a door sweep.

WOW! That is outstanding! I hope the seats don't hide it and people see it when they look the car over. Neat!

Playing with some 3D prints and paint that I might use on my car. I have tried acrylic paint, gilding, and Testors Enamel paint on the Isis figures. The camera is not picking the vibrance of the gilding. A bigger version of Isis might go in the front grill.

Anubis will be placed on the front passenger fender where a smaller plain Chrysler pentagram would go.
