2023 Formula 1 (F1) Front Wing

thingiverse

Here is a 2023 F1 front wing modelled after the Mercedes wing. (or close to it. Might even make the car faster =P) I did not create this but I commissioned it and I thought I would share. I had split into many smaller parts so that it could printed on smaller machines and then easily put back together. It's split up like a jigsaw puzzle so that it will be stronger when put back together (as opposed to straight breaks in the wing). About 60% done with printing. Will update with pics once complete. Update: Added a picture of the finished print. Currently in the process of filling and sanding. Then I'll be priming followed by paint. Also added the full wing file. It is tiny for some reason so just scale it up as needed. Update #2: Added pictures of the finished product. I forgot to order the FIA logo but other than that, its finished. I left this as a generic F1 wing as I plan on lugging it with to a race to get it autographed by everyone. Total amount of filament used was 3682 grams (printed at 88% of the original file size). Total print time was approx 318 hrs. This was my very first print on my very first 3d printer so everything was new and by the last 2-3 pieces of the wing, I did get around to changing the printer settings, so I'm sure I could get the total print time way down if I did this again.
