    This guy 3D printed the body of a Lamborghini in sections and glued them together: https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/05/11/a-father-son-duo-3d-printed-an-entire-lamborghini-aventador-and-it-looks-stunningly-real/

      That’s honestly really impressive. Also gives me some ideas if I ever get the 3d printer up and running again

    I know this is c/memes but … Sort of, yeah. Not a whole one that I’m aware of, but there are stl files around for hard-to-find parts. Mostly trim and non-structural stuff AFAIK, like the door handles on my car are notorious for breaking, and absolutely impossible to source, so I have the models here ready to go if I ever need them. It’s kinda cool.

    This makes me wonder if you could take a mod for a game like Assetto Corsa and turn the 3D models into printable files thonk

      you generally can but modelling for games is about a different kind of efficiency than when you have to worry about infils, unsupported overhangs, and other materials science things that 3D prints have to consider, so you don’t really have a hard drive full of free physical toys sitting in you game library.

        I mean you can still probably do a lot of them just be ready to deal with fiddly supports and such

      Not familiar with the game, but a quick web search tells me that apparently AC models are in FBX format. Blender should be able to load that and convert to stl for printing.
