Kraton 1/5 clear body shell options ?

[RC-Dude]

Ford 1956 Kraton 8s body: It's taller but I'm busy finding a solution.

Basically it's from TPU. Infill 35% on the top and bottom. Inbetween 15-25%. Seems to me like the whole roof needs support. About 9 hours printing time at 80mm/s. Only TPU will work.

So there are two options.

A) One is to fix the whole contraption with zip-ties to the center tower.

B) The other is to add roof rails and to screw them through the roof into this giant mushroom. So it stays in the body. That's what I am doing. Seems to me the body certainly needs roof rails. Busy printing the roof rails.

Also added a longer roof rail.

Prefer it with the long roof rails and wing.

Looks great. Good work with the printer.

Turns out is works really well. Have flipped the car - no problem. Actually slipped and jammed it under my full size car. No damage. Just TPU markings on my car.
