3D Chassis makers


Recommended Posts

Question (as I am being lazy today) - anyone know of a 3D chassis maker doing a chassis for the Z28 Camaro.
I can live with either Slot-it or NSR pod

I can ask, but Joao has only been offering the ‘70 chassis up till now, that’s all he shows in their Facebook media directory.

I’m pretty sure the Z28 is a different chassis fit. 
The ‘70 is getting so hard to find, so hoping to build up a Z28 or two.

Anyways, I’ll message him - he should be out of bed by now! :D

Not sure whether I'm looking in the right place Mark, but I'm blowed if I can find a full listing of the Olifer 3D printed chassis and pods on their Facebook page - certainly not in the same format as they appeared on the old Shapeways website.

You mention their 'media directory' ... if that means Photos, all I can find are some references to events where someone has been successful using an Olifer chassis in their car.

It’s okay Dennis, you’re not going mad…… well you might be, but isn’t proof of it :lol:

It isn’t visible as a link ….

 No idea HOW they’ve done it, but if you click on the link at bottom of this post, a picture of each car for which they offer a chassis comes up. Not an ideal solution, but it’s what Joao sent me via messenger. And I did check with Joao, they aren’t making a chassis for the Z28.

A guy who often drives up to visit our club, is coming this way tonight. He also wants a Z28 chassis, and has a standard Z28 car. I’ll get him to bring it, and his ‘70 which is sitting on an Olifer chassis like mine. We can compare fitments to see how different they are. 

Hi Mark! You can find our products for the time being at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.962125625932448

Hi guys!

The current FB album is not the best solution but we are working on a better alternative.

Feel free to reach out to us directly at olifer@olifer.pt and we'll get you sorted!

 

Best regards,

João Pedro Ferreira

 

PS: We don't currently have a chassis for the Z28 and as the original chassis includes the bumpers, the '70 is unlikely to fit.

Thanks Mark and Joào,

That link was also posted to the opening topic on our forum and I found the pictures.

The only drawback is that the pictures are not labelled i.e. no manufacturer and model.

Unless you have an extensive knowledge of slot cars you wouldn't know which bodies the various chassis will fit.

Having purchased some from Shapeways in the past I can identify quite a few, while  some others are straight-forward as only one manufacturer may produce a particular model of car e.g. several of the Avant Slot LMPs.

As I have mentioned previously 'miniracingstudios' in Spain is on EBay and they have quite a few chassis to fit SCX and NInco cars among others.
