Thanks for the explanation. Had thought that it may have had fibers in it like fiberglass, to make it stronger. I would imagine that successfully completing a design would be very satisfying.

Yes, some filaments do have fibers for example carbon fiber as well as metal. I have mixed aluminum into resin and it looks real enough, but it becomes more brittle. They 3D folks have a ton of material for the 3D maker to play around with.

This is my latest Rim Design. I call it the T/A Mag. Since I make several different 3D printed chassis I thought it would be cool to have a nice selection of rims to choose from. I started out using predesigned rims and rescaling them. This was a failure as they are not designed for racing. They are designed for static models. So I came up with my own way of designing rims. All my rims both front and rear are double flanged. The cool part is I can make what ever diameter and width I need. Anyway here is a photo of the T/A Mag. If you look close at the gold rim the flange has a carbon fiber look.
