      In my engineering graphics class I'm making an E30 M3 that is 4 inches long. Its not completed yet, but I'll try to get pictures on friday when I get it from the rapid prototyping machine. Keep this thread alive!

        Are you at BTC? They have CNC class?

        It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

            did you use solidworks to make the outline for the rapid prototyping machine? can you post a screenshot of it?

              I am going back into that lab on Monday to work on something else. I modeled it in Catia actually. I will get a screen shot then.

                A little teaser...








                Oh and Solid Edge sucks... for anyone who cares enough about engineering.

                  Reminds me more of the old 320 Race cars, or a little like the Audi Quattro :)

                          Finally got it back... looks like crap right now. Hopefully we'll have time to paint and assemble it to make it a Warsteiner Replica E30 M3. Pardon the axle holes, one of my clumsy partners broke it.

                              That's really fucking cool.

                              Run a few of them off, I'd buy one.

                                I need to run one off for myself since our prototype has been broken in many places. Shouldn't cost too much.
