Asahi Ford Sierra XR4i tail light (1/14)

thingiverse

The dull red tail light glass is a disgrace to this otherwise nice toygrade model RC from Asahi imo. So I made a 3d model of the glass to be printed in clear material, I used clear Taulman bridge nylon in the pictures, but after that I tried with T-glase instead which gave a much better result as its more transparent. I painted the glass with Tamiya translucent paint (I know I didnt do too good a job, im not the most patient guy :-P ) The picture of the painted glass is from my initial Bridge Nylon print and not T-Glase. Print Settings Printer: Creality CR-10 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0,2mm Infill: No internal infill - All printed as concentric outline Notes: With clear Taulman T-Glase I printed the part so it was standing on its bottom side and added supports under the bits that stick out on the back. How I Designed This Design process Measured the original one with vernier calipers and modelled it in Autodesk Inventor 2017. The colored image is a raytraced version I made with Inventor to demo the coloring of the glass.
