Thanks

The 3D printing fair was nice. It turned out there was someone else with an RC car too. He made as many things as possible 3D printed using an affordable consumer printer - even the transmission was 3D printed!

There was lots of interest for both our work - in the end I didn't find a sponsor, but I think I have shown the potential of 3D printing under high stress applications. Also I've handed out and received some business cards, who knows what happens with that in the future

The gullwing wishbones is something I had to get used to, and now I start to like them they need to go Ah well. On a car with pricy spares, symmetrical stuff is better in the end.

As for the wing mount, I take it you mean the DEX210 wing mount? It's a bit off-topic, but here's the story: I've had it printed, but one measurement I made (that of the lower mounting holes on the gear casing) was 0.5-0.75mm off as it turned out, due to which it didn't fit at all! I've tweaked the model and it's being printed again, together with the suspension arms.

It's just a matter of fitting it now - once it fits I'm completely comfortable saying it's strong enough: It has more material around the screws than the regular 210 mount (the same amount in the framework itself), and knowing it's strong enough for even suspension arms, it's certainly strong enough for wing mounts
