First 3d print

[Tallbump]

So my wife got me a 3D printer for Christmas. Huge surprise, I was not expecting it.
A Bambu A1.
After printing my benchie, I made my first real print

I printed the Yepspec SCX24 chassis - https://24yep.com/products/yepspec-chassis-kit

I posted pics on Facebook and someone pointed out the skid plate didn't have the notch for the transmission, so I will have to reprtint that

Overall, I am very happy.

This will be gong on my Basecamp - or what was my Basecamp, I ruined the body so I have to print or buy a new body for that one

Very nice! I would love to go down the rabbit hole of 3d printing one day!

Absolutely great first print. Getting straight into making cool stuff!

I printed a second set, for a friend.
But, per a suggestion from someone on Facebook - not sure if he is on here -
I made the rails 3mm instead of 2.5 and changed them to 100% infill. Made them much stronger

Got it assembled using parts of my Basecamp.
Going forward, most posts will be in the Basecamp discussion as this is going to serve as the chassis and catalyst of an overhaul of it.

It has the Basecamp/JLU wheelbase, Injora 43mm double barrel shocks, Injora high clearance links and some brass on the stock axels.
Also running some Injora 1.3 wheels with stretched 1.0 pinner tires.
Just waiting on new electronics.
I am putting a brushless set up in my JLU (that has even more upgrades) and putting the JLU's stuff in here - it's running a Mofo Torquebeast. Will be adding a Rampcrab servo. I have several and have never had an issue.
Now I'm trying to decide on a body
I ruined the Basecamp body - it was the pink one.
Weighing a few options.
Considering a 3D printed one, the Injora IR60, or, also thinking just a clear body and leave it unpainted to really show off the chassis

Printed a body yesterday. I really like it.
Need to sand it a bit.
I will leave it plain white until I decide what to do
I might leave it white, paint some details and do some decals. Might paint the whole thing
Not mounted yet. Have some magnets supposed to be coming Saturday. I have to play around with a few options for the front. The rear will go right on
