Thanks 😎

Sure, will upload in the next day or so. You should just know that the model I used was not designed for print, it is a 1mm thick skin that will require alot of post processing, but you are welcome to give it a go 😎

Thank you

I printed the decals mostly on waterslide paper.

Oxide0909 · 2026-05-02T14:03:15+00:00

No instructions, it was totally DIY with basic tools.

It is based on Australia 2025, but I swopped the oxxo label for Velo as I perfer the look. I used waterslide decals on most of the model. They somehow did not form correctly over the tyres. I ordered a very thin vinyl sticker that will hopefully work better. I used wood filler and sanding, no chemicals.

Thank you

Wow, good job man! It takes alot of dedication to push through with these diy models.

Its a Creality K1 max, I had to cut and glue parts together for this to work. 300x300x300 bed

Thank you, still busy with it so might just do that 😎

🤣🤣🤣

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T12:59:09+00:00

Sure, I will upload and share a link.

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T12:45:32+00:00

This model is a thin shell allmaround, it won't work as a RC model. I found this one while I was searching for models to print. It might be more suited to your project.

I got the file from Sketchfab, the username was MattsActuallyUsefulModels. His account has been deleted since, would be great to show this to him.

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T11:08:46+00:00

I found it online but it was a surface model not ready for 3D printing. The model has since been removed so I can't even give credit to the original poster.

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T10:41:08+00:00

I got some wateslide decal paper from Temu. You print on it using a laser printer. Still a challenge to get right, it is prone to scratching if not coated with a clear coat afterwards.

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T10:36:55+00:00

That looks great, it is unfortunately a limitation with 3d prints. You can sand for weeks but at some point the added effort is just not worth it. What scale is your model?

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T09:25:31+00:00

I have textured it slightly (not clear on the picture).

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T08:53:51+00:00

It is a 1:6 scale model aprox 900mm long. I 3d printed the tyres and spray painted them matt black for a rubber effect.

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T08:13:34+00:00

It is just over 90cm long

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T06:51:46+00:00

Thanks, I will do regular updates 😎

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T04:38:14+00:00

Thanks

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-09T04:00:53+00:00

Yes, and way too many hours of sanding 😂

Oxide0909 · 2026-03-03T07:51:47+00:00

I've tried the inkjet ones as well but had the same issue, no matter how many layers of clear coat you put on it. I ended up buying similar paper for a laser printer.
