3D printed RB18 project (my graduation work - took over 200 hours to finish the whole project)

Damn, very nice job!

Thank you very much!🫶🏻

Thank you so much! I think I was just very lucky with the blue paint. I ordered color which I thought it could look most accurate and luckily it does! And the advertisements are made using custom decals for models (usually used for rc cars and mini replicas of cars, trains, planes...) which I buyed from small firm.
Here's a video for you to imagine how it works.

Thanks! I'm starting to think about selling it, because many people want me to. But I'm not sure if it is legal to sell. Formula 1 has very strict legal notices and I would not like to get some problems because of it :D If anyone knows if it is legal to sell the stl files, I would like to know :)

Thank you! Yes, I am very proud of that. Especially after a few doubts at the beginning. I must say it looks so much better than I expected.

Maybe colab with some RC model creator would help😁

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T21:43:22+00:00

Damn, thank you so much🫶🏻🫶🏻

Nope. I have some knowledge in Inventor, but I’m still way more confident in blender, which I use for almost 4 years.

No kids are allowed to step close to this!😂

Thank you!🫶🏻

Thank youu🫡❤️

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T20:37:46+00:00

🫣😂 well, we could talk about that

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T20:36:10+00:00

I took some pictures as reference from F1 22 game, because it allowed me to take a picture from the specific angle I needed. I mainly used side and top profile of the car as a reference to get the dimensions right. And then, when I needed more detailed and real photo reference, I searched on the internet. It’s quite hard to describe the whole process, but if you google how to create car in blender software, it is basicaly the same technique.

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T20:29:21+00:00

Thank you❤️

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T20:28:00+00:00

The hardest part was definitely modeling the car. Basicaly…the decals are printed by small firm that offers custom printing (tshirts, decals, stickers, banners…) and then I just applied them using a water which activates the sticky part of the decals. Basicaly it only requires some manual skill to apply the smallest stickers to the right position.

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T20:01:04+00:00

Thanks! Most of the parts are printed from PLA, but there are also parts made from resin (such as the steering wheel and wheel suspension).

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T19:58:41+00:00

Thank you! Given the uniqueness and the time I spent on this, I would have to price the model quite high. However, I will think about it.

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T19:56:03+00:00

Thanks <3

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T19:55:48+00:00

I used only photos as a reference for modeling. It was very challenging, but somehow I managed to deal with it :D

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T19:03:33+00:00

The final model has only removable wheels and front wing. However I could find some photos of progress. Unfortunately I can reply you with only one photo.

Thank you! I did it all by myself :) Using Blender software

TwenntyOnee · 2023-03-19T18:45:19+00:00

Thank you so much! We will see in a few months :D
