As an owner of a shifter kart and a 7, i can say from experience that they do feel very similar. The kart is more extreme and harsh, but they both give a similar feeling of acceleration, they are both open, in my case both require a helmet. But the big similarity is driver position. Your basically sitting over the…

I'm a graphic designer who is just touching his foot into the 3d world. Can't say that there is much money in it. The machines have paid for themselves at this point, and have created some interesting opportunities. But I won't be quitting graphic design anytime soon. Really the best thing to use them for is…

So I have one, and it's pretty good. And they are constantly improving things with it which is nice. Like any 3d printing right now, it's 70% skill and 30% witchcraft to get it to print well. In your case of cast iron. They do make a casting resin now, which in probably wouldn't do you much good. But if it was a one…

Yellow post it notes would be better. They would be non-damaging and if you don't overlap them, they would have to remove them one at a time. Thus giving them time to think about their mistake.

Yeah their pricing make no sense to me. There is two trains of thought when it comes to building one from scratch. Do you want the experience of building one or do you prefer the end result? In my case I went for the end result and cut down on development and build time by using a more developed set of plans. The…

Not really, I'm thinking of build a second locost with a hardtop though.

They already make that.

You hit the nail on the head. Without a preexisting client base you struggle to find work, this leads to taking on any work you can get and perpetuates a lower quality client.

Same idea here. Although I don't think you would even need 20mil. Seems like the average contribution per candidate is in the $10,000 range. So you contribute and fund a rep for $50-100k per year. Include expenses and your looking at 500,000k per year per rep. Adjusting to a 15 year rule wouldnt produce a huge amount…

You want to know how to fix this? Money is the answer. Basically a crowd funded lobby. Crowd fund something like a million dollars, then start making strategic contributions.

Thats 9g over an extended period. This is 92g in an instant or near instant. Something akin to getting hit by a bus at speed on your head.

I can assure you that its not a good business venture. I've been literally one of the only people in atlanta offering 3d printing and design service locally for the last 2 years. And I can count the number of jobs on one hand that where actually financially worth while. You end up taking a million wasted calls from…

Agree mine is pretty much indistinguishable from a caterham on the outside and cost around $8k to build. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p74/xcr…

Because its only $8k when you do it yourself.

I bring this. It seems to get the job done better than my STI ever did.

The weight/price combination seems a bit unlikely to me. But I'm game.

Yep kinda the same reason I stopped going to the dragon and other driving roads up here in the car. The damn street bike guys stress me out as well. Just never know when going around a corner if there will be one sliding into my lane.

Agree, this is basically the opening sequence to the Speed Racer Movie. Brother dies at around age 6, kid goes on to race against brothers ghost car in opening race.

Did no one watch the speed racer movie? This is basically identical to that scene where he's racing his brother ghost, including the moment where he stopped right before the finish line to preserve his brother record.
