Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted September 3, 2018 So I found this website, it seems to have CAD files for printing a chassis. Is it possible that somebody can charge me his work and print this for me? I believe this is made to have a 210mm wheelbase, I would like to have a 225mm wheelbase. Can somebody well informed in this have a look and tell me if it is possible? Kind regards https://grabcad.com/library/f103gt-mini-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted September 3, 2018 If not possible to view on website, I will send by mail the files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7878 Posted September 3, 2018 If you can download the file in .STL format you can upload it to shapeways.com and get it done there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted September 3, 2018 Yup, that is what a local 3D printing shop has also askd from me. I dobt know where to get a .stl file. it was uploaded as DWB not DWG, probably a 2D file but I can not even find a program to view it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted September 3, 2018 Try Google dwb file viewer, varicad viewer may work. Looks like it will be easier to make a new chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted September 4, 2018 it does open with VARICAD, and it is a 3D file, just VARICAD maz not convert this file since it was built on a trial version. how annying, I need a way to convert this file to .stl I need somebody who can re-draw this file to either a 2D file so I can make a plate, or if somebody can open this file and print it. Basically I need help of somebody who has digital drawing knowledge. Please. I started making some drawings for a 225mm wheel base chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simensays 321 Posted November 4, 2018 If this is a flat chassis plate, you'd be better off having it CNC'ed in aluminium or carbon fibre. This will be more suitable for such a part, stronger and cheaper, than 3D printing it. You also don't need 3D skills, simply draw it in a program like Adobe illustrator, and you'll probably find several CNC services in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
