Pine Wood Derby

[nasrace10]

I was wondering if anyone had done a pine wood derby car in aspire? if so any ideas
to pass along... thanks

Well, there is a really cool Porsche model you can make with the Cut 3D trial. That would be an awesome Pinewood Derby car - however, it may be obvious that it wasn't made by a ten year old Cub Scout...

I haven't cut it but I made this up for a friend to cut on his machine.

That is way nice. I want to be able to model things like this!
Thanks for showing this.

I've done several over the years but I'm at work now and most of those files are at home. I did find the Camaro (Bumble Bee from Transformers) we did in '10. I modeled it in Rhino and exported it as an STL. I tried to attach the stl, but it's too big (even when zipped).

I can email the file if you'd like.

I managed to get the file size down by spliting the model and decreasing the tolerance a bit.

It's scaled to pinewood derby regulation size. I had to remove (pocket out) quite a bit of material to get the weight down to the legal limit.

I found another one we did several years ago. We put St Louis Cardinals logos on it. My oldest son was 8 or 9 then and he went to a Cardinals youth trainning camp that year and took the car with him. Jack Clark was there and signed it for him - "Jack the Ripper".

I got the baseball car down to a reasonable posting size too.

I've got several others...I'll keep looking

Would you happen to have a chevy impala in 3d? Want to make a nascar model.

Ok sorry everyone up front!

I am new to Cut3D, the model the BrentC put up is it the full block or half of the block when cutting, if it is Half the block how do I cut the over side?

Thanks
