My first car in HO scale (1:87) - 1981 Dodge Mirada CMX

1981 Dodge Mirada CMX

I bought a Prusa Mini+ 3-D printer a couple of months back. It's allowed me to bring a yearslong dream to life. I drafted my first car in Via CAD 2D/3D and printed it in Prusament Galaxy Silver PLA. I then hand painted it and even scaled down a photograph of the original license plate that I still have. This is FUN!

As it came off of the printer. The last photo is with the HO scale WWI Flying Ace Snoopy that I also made. :-)

That's pretty cool. It's tiny, tinier than I usually work with. Do you have more pics of the layout?

It's cool you can print something out of a printer and then use it.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
