Been a few months of on/off designing and printing, but it's on four wheels now (the correct offside rear is being printed right now) still loads to do, the temporary diff is too low, leading to the axles falling out and the tyco bandit inspired body is no where near fitting yet.

You designed the whole model? That's sick!

Thanks, the chassis is all mine, except the diff, which I know won't last but just haven't had the time to design a replacement yet. the body was one I picked off of thangs and slightly modded. I'll credit the creator when I get around to releasing it.

Nice. Hope you see it through!

What modeling software are you using?

[–] TerraRoot 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Inventor 2017, I don't like the other options just yet.

Inventor is as powerful parametric modeling software that you really need!

[–] TerraRoot 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's more autodesk I hate, inventor its self is a fine piece of software.

Their subscription based model really sucks. I use Solidworks at work and at home but my home copy is pirated. No way I'm paying $5k for software I'm not using to make a profit.
