Status: offline 		I took 2 years of drafting in high school and I have a little experience in CAD; I was thinking about designing some texas edition rims for my "silverado" rc truck. I'm pretty sure you can get these kind of designs printed on a website like this. What do you guys think? Ever make anything custom for your "ride"?

Status: offline 		I was a senior 3D CAD designer for a while. I tried to get some companies to rp some stuff I made, and the prices they all wanted weren't worth it at all, and other companies told me that they wouldn't flat out do it at all unless I ordered a 2,000 minimum piece order.

Your best bet is to take your 3D CAD design, export it into an IGES format file for a CNC to use, and shop around the local machine shops, and see if it's cost-effective enough for them to make a one-off part for you.

Good luck!

So unless you are going to use it to make a mold to cast a part I wouldn't bother using that method

I personally would never install a printed part on any of my rc cars.

I would rather take my file to a machine shop, and let them know what material I need, or just provide them the material.
