THE CORKSCREW compatible with Scalextric slot car track

cults3d

The Corkscrew is famous in the world of motorsport. It’s a challenging left-right turn that drops dramatically as you’re turning. I have scaled it down to a Radius 2 (R2) left hander and a Radius 3 (R3) right hander. You can see it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Dj6Jm8u2-4 (22 sec) The stl’s provide for a magnet (MAG) version or a non-magnet (MAGLESS) version. The track isn’t magnetic – you glue steel to the track so the magnets in the cars are attracted to the track. Steps: 1. Decide if you want the MAG version or the MAGLESS version. 2. Print the parts for the 2 corner pieces – the R2 and the R3. 3. Superglue/dowel/weld the parts together. I use dowel pins as below*** 4. (for MAG version only) Superglue steel wires** into grooves. 5. stick on adhesive backed copper foil*. 6. Connect tracks as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxtTccPlibQ&t=41s 7. Start Racing! Feel free to print this, or print it and sell it - I give permission for that. But please don't give away the .stl files. * For steel, I use 0.9mm diameter gardener's tie wire from the local hardware shop. *** For dowels I use 3mm x 3mm square stainless steel - cut to 12mm lengths.https://www.minibearings.com.au/store/item/4r00300300ks6u/?v=1313 **https://hartleywilliams.com.au/copper-foil-5mm-3-16-14400 For alligator clipshttps://www.amazon.com.au/Alligator-Crocodile-Laboratory-Electric-Testing/dp/B08K8X5YZW/ref=sr_1_2?crid=GFYAJHRYMPO8&keywords=100PCS+1.37IN+%2F+35mm+Metal+Alligator+Clips%2C...&qid=1651536271&sprefix=100pcs+1.37in+%2F+35mm+metal+alligator+clips+%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-2
