V2 print beautiful except 1 minor issue which is now fixed.
Wing fixings just a tad too small and can move around before the second side is 'fixed'

Liquid printers timing goes by height. So if I did just the body, it's around 7hrs.
If I throw on a heap of other parts as well, which I normally do anyway... it still only takes 7hrs coz the body is usually the tallest object.
So in theory, I can do the body and all the bits except chassis (build plate is just a tad too small to do it all, but i can angle it, will add more time and I am making a point about time lol), including wheels, rotors, louvre, exhausts, seats, dash and what other small bits I've forgotten... in 1 print of roughly 7 hrs.

Here's the whole model so far, no seats or dash coz I haven't finished them yet.
The price is wrong lol.... I WISH it only cost that much to print.
8n a half hrs with the chassis angled as the highest object

With supports and time/cost

Oh man, I'm loving the quality! Usually on there's atleast some droopage on long straight panels but I see none at all! That printer of yours is serious business, so cool to see you get it dialled in!

Yea, I've had a little droopage on 2 WRX's, both in the same spot. front part of the sunroof, just doesn't seem to have enough strength once the support is removed, to stay stiff.
I was going to tweak that area with a small horizontal support bar, hidden under a false roof curve connected to the support bar.

I've made the chassis with wheel mounts, the dash, seats, steering wheel (with column) so really, it's a rollcage... which I am working on and maybe the tranny tunnel with gear shift and handbrake left to make before it's pretty much a full kit.
Anything anyone can think of I may have missed? I'll post a "kit" pic when it's all done.
