STEP 2 – TERMINOLOGY

3D Printing All the plastic components in this kit are 3D printed using the latest equipment
and high quality, high-cost materials.

Nylon G/X Nylon is a very impact resistant plastic. We use two variants of this material;
NylonG is glass fibre impregnated and is used for the main chassis, bulkheads,
engine bay and suspension components. NylonX is carbon fibre impregnated
and provides a stiffer component mainly used in the front steering links, shock
absorbers and diff output hubs.

PC Blend Is a blended variant of polycarbonate and is extremely strong and impact
resistant. It’s used in the wheels, uprights, gears, axles, battery retainer and
cosmetic parts like the rollover hoops, trumpets and mirrors.

TPU Is an amazing flexible polymer we have used for the body shell and the ‘active’
driver figure! This material is super tough and capable of absorbing any
impacts. The kit comes with all white colour, however we also offer these option
parts printed in colours including; red, blue, yellow and black. The texture and
finish perfectly captures the essence of the grand prix cars of the 1960’s era.
You can also paint them with any flexible paint, such as polycarbonate paint to
achieve your favourite driver/livery!

CPE Is a high-end industrial manufacturing material with resistance to heat and
impacts and available in semi-transparent tinted colours; used for the
windscreens. The windscreens are very thin and exposed, ensuring the scale
appearance, however the tough CPE can still absorb impacts before breaking.

PETG Carbon Is a strong and hard polymer we have used for its cool matt texture for the
dashboard and rocker covers.

PLA Is the most basic and cheapest 3D printing material, we’ve only used it for the
cosmetic engine bay and gearbox detail panels due to its fine accuracy.

Brim For many of the printed parts a thin extra material layer is used during printing
to ensure the part does not detach from the print bed, this is called a ‘brim’. We
remove most of the brim material during post processing the components, but
any remains should be removed using a scalpel and sand paper.

Hairs/blobs During the printing process sometimes very fine ‘hairs’ or small ‘blobs’ of plastic
remain on the part. We remove most of these during post processing the
components, but any remains can be removed using a scalpel and sand paper.

M1.6, M2, M2.5, M3 These four sizes of bolts/washers/nuts are used in this kit. Bolts all have Allen
socket head unless specified otherwise.

M# cs The ‘cs’ part refers to counter sunk head.

M# button The ‘button’ part refers to button head.

M# x10mm Measurement in millimetres indicates the length of the screw thread. For
socket/button head this excludes the head, for counter sunk includes the head.

M# nylock nut The nylock nuts have the nylon insert part of the thread to resist coming loose.
