    Did I see what looks like a leaf spring under the front frame cross member at the other forum?

    Ya you did. It is the lightest possible solution and the specific implementation on the c5 and up corvettes does real good on the track. I put a set of track springs in my 5th gen(c5) corvette. they are the same springs. That can be seen here: http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...d.php?t=264817

    They have no weight to them. And the track or T1 springs I put in my car are really stiff. So stiff that as low as my car sits it doesn't bottom out and when I launch it the rear doesn't squat at all. The rear spring has 850lbs springrate.

    Back on the printer, I designed this piece to route cables under the y axis drive belt..



    There were a few revisions of this part and this is what I ended up with..



    And I designed the mount for the power supply..



    And started the 10 hour long print..

    What's the 3D printer that's printing the mount for power supply? What's the size of the build platform?

    That is Printalicious. My first home made printer. It has all the bells and whistles. 24v, Optical end strops. 6 stepper drivers, z probe for auto bed leveling, titan extruder, 400step/rev. or 0.9 degree stepper motors, and the 300x200 bed slides back and forth on 10mm linear rods. It can fit over 50mm more on each axis I just cant locate the correct size heatbed for my creation. The building of this printer can be seen here:
    http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...d.php?t=270130
    And it's continued evolution can be seen here:
    http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...Mixing-Printer
    And here:
    http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...twork-Printers

    There is still one more round of upgrades I have ahead for printalicious. I have an mks gen 1.4 control board, mks solid state relay for the heatbed, and mks32 tft color touchscreen. I already have this setup on 2 other printers and I think it is just the way to go.

    I know I got 2 different builds from 2 completely different industries going on here. So to set this thread back on the right track, the z06 is done. I finished tuning it this morning. Here is the results from my tuning session..



    And now the rest of this thread can be about the printed printer.

    So the car is basically a knight 2000 - has it got the snazzy front lights ?
    You know the ones that go back and forth and make the cool noise ;-)

    No such luck on the lights. just a bunch of red led halos. I have some more progress on the printer to share. I made a piece to house a lamp(led) and to hold the lcd screen..





    This machine is looking more and more like a printer everyday. Just a few more small pieces to make and some wiring and this thing will be ready to make some stuff..
