What's the temperature rating on that stuff? It's pretty much resin and dust isn't it (putting it simply). What program did you render that in? Very tasteful without being over the top...

Actually this particular printer uses a spool of ABS wire, and melts and re-shapes, so it should be ok tempature wise, other printers use "resin and dust" I designed it in Solidworks/inventor. I used Solidworks at home to do the design work, measurements, etc.. and when I got to work used Inventor to import it and go from there. Thanks for the compliments.

I bet it would look pretty cool, but I cant stop staring at how much dirt there is under your hood, clean that crap up man and shoot another pic.

If you would like, you can come do that for me. Actually, I'm working on that, I just finished up the outside, so I'm getting ready to start under the hood.

I'd love to sell some, but they're not very economical to make the way I'm making them. I've got to make some design changes to mine and reprint another. I really need to hook up with someone who has access to vaccum forming.
