I continue to explore the Bugatti universe. Chassis 41.100, the boss’s coupe, was my choice to start building the chassis at 1/8th scale.

There is a very good chance that this model will be printable if I take care to find the right cuts for a rigid frame.

And the printing test (colored) :

Chassis and radiator :

front axle and headlights (all parts are movable) :

The engine  and break system :

Clutch and rear axle (including gear box):

And finally, batteries, exhaust pipe, firewall, dashboard and wheels :

The next step will be to create the body. Here the first design with chassis :

 

And this is the first print test for the body :

For this model, I designed a hood-opening system that closely mimics reality, using a few magnets.

The whole thing prints quite well, provided you have a machine that is large enough.

Next step: printing the entire set and preparing several print kits.
