OpenRC Ossum RaceRod
3D
A replacement body for the OpenRC F1 by Daniel Norée, designed to reuse all of the original mechanical pieces and chassis.
This insane creation was inspired by a number of things, including a real car which was based on a rendering by Aaron Beck, both of which came flooding back to me when absent-mindedly set my rat rod grille design down on my openRC F1.
If you haven't already printed all of the original parts then you will need to print the chassis, front arms and wheels, rear axle/gear and wheels from Daniel's original design.
The only part of my design that requires support is the cab (mostly for the windows, but the underside of the hood cowl can do with them too). Set the support threshold to >60 degrees since you don't want any supports in the intakes.
The roof insert prints vertically on its rear edge.
The assembly is all done in the same method as the OpenRC F1, with M3 bolts and captive nuts.
If you like this stuff please consider leaving a tip, becoming a patreon or even just uploading pictures of your prints and sharing them with credit, it all helps!
There is also an Ossum facebook page/group to share your prints and questions in, or and instagram to follow progress.

This was such a fun project. Prints amazing. And drops right on the open F1 chassis
