I drew it life sized to FIA specifications for wheelbase, track width, tire size, wing area, front and read overhang. The STL file is huge 1:1 scale (= 5.7 meter, 18.7 feet) but it is made to be drastically shrunken down (200mm = 8") for printing.
Once I had the tires, wing boxes and skid plank located … I kind of drew the F1 car by memory.
"I winged it" as an artist might say.
But I am an engineer too, so I had to get the frame right and build from there.
After Make: -------------
The front wing end plate broke so I made it thicker.
Removed rear wing end plates.
Thickened the engine cover spine.
file: F1-sculpture v2
Updated after printing. Some parts were too thin and fell off.
Thickened wings and other elements to be strong when reduced in size from 1:1 true scale to 200mm print bed.
