Not happy with the look of it...
Laser cutter has been down for 2 weeks here... so I have been reduced to cutting by hand and filing parts... like a commoner.
Tried dying it pink but I was low on dye...so it came out pretty light.
Will post photos later.

That case is freaking awesome!
I see you went with a near zero leverage, and an offset weight format which nets a smaller motor.
It will be interesting to see what size motor and leverage Alphonso went with.

If I might offer up a name, "Mary Kay".
Came out pretty darn cool, Joe.

Thanks guys.
Mary Kay eh?
Pretty good... they are in Houston, right?
Not the twins on that sitcom? Lol!
I’m going to have to wait for my official car namer to chime in here.
Peluso has the engine advantage due to the density of PLA vs. thee acrylic...
AND the precision of printing the entire car....
I figure that my only ace is that I used the Clear Drill Jig for my axle holes over the printed holes that Alphonso has.
No 3 D printer can replicate the precision of a Clear Drill Jig.
I’ll take that Pepsi challenge any day of the week.
Stiffness of the body may may also be a factor for Peluso though.
I hear that that is common, Alphonso... can’t recall ever experiencing it myself.

I don't think Alphonso is putting up those times at APR with 3d printed axle holes. I'm thinking he has some way to precisely drill axles.

Lets see a pic of that motor Alphonso !
Joe there's lots of ways to still win if you're "motorly" challenged. Better prep, better tune, less steer, inherently better wheels, better lube.Better balance with your offset weight, etc...it should be interesting.
