Design overview

After selling all my workshop machinery, I purchased a 3D printer and have started off my adventure with it by printing off some parts of a vehicle differential and rear axle from thingiverse.com. Mostly because I couldn't find a suitable file of the hypoid bevel gears I needed for my own design. It's been a long-held ambition to construct a scratch-built racing car chassis and this seemed as good a place to start as any. Having reduced the size of the prints to 70% of their original size to suit my requirements, I soon found the need to enlarge various holes to size. Problem - no drill stand and now no milling machine! So, thought I, why not print one out? So that's what I'm going to do. But first, I have to design one which will fit within the printer's envelope (254x254x254mm). This is the render of my design, produced in Alibre Atom.
