    @Greywolf74 (my partner in crime) has a green one for sale.

    That would be kind of a pain to have to remove the screwdrivers to work on a car. What tools do you have? This is my 3d printed organizer... Thread 'New Tool Stand in the Works' https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/new-tool-stand-in-the-works.131146/

    I'm not releasing these models for people to print. Too much work went into this design, and my stuff has been taken and sold without my permission,. So I don't share many of my designs anymore.

    Only a couple parts left to print. Still waiting on hardware 🀬

    Introducing the Car Jacker 2000 😁

    It will be pretty cool when all the hardware is on it. One little letdown is getting the top rails on and off is a bit fiddly. But that might not be something you have to do very often I guess. But once I have the thumb screws instead of the m3 buttonheads I am using, it should be easier...

    That was actually something I looked into for a minute ;)

    I wouldn't stop you from taking it to be honest. It needs a loving home, but it is just one of those "on the back burner" kits that I want to get to rebuilding some day. I have all the parts, but lack the nitro know-how to be honest. I know I could tear it down and rebuild it. But living in an...

    Like my Jato rotisserie 😜 That would definitely be awesome, but totally impractical to try to design something like that to 3d print, is durable, that fits any RC, and is affordable. But yeah, my Jato stand is just the coolest car stand ever. I was thinking of modding it for other RC's.

    Yeah, it is going pretty good now. Still waiting on the darn hardware to make its way here on the slow boat.

    Printer is back up and running better than ever. Got the riser printed. Lazy Susan bolted on Starting on the main tower base.

    Introducing the Car Jacker 2000 😁

    I have been dealing with issue after issue with this printer. It has some miles on it though. But as soon as I solve one problem, another one pops up. This has been going on for the last few months now, and if it continues much further I will have to name it something besides a Creality because...

    The thumb screws that tighten the arms down are in NY. The rest of the hardware has made it to the airport in China and it just says "shipping label created, USPS awaiting item" on USPS tracking site. So no idea where that one is. On aliexpress it just says "leaving" since the 20th. I assume it...

    Got the top plate assembly together. Here's a little vid with the Ryft sitting on it. The Ryft has a huge wheelbase of 15-1/4" according to the specs on Tower Hobbies, but mine measures a bit over that, which stretches the Car Jacker to its limits. Might need to make some adjustments πŸ˜‰...

    It will try to print layers on top of it. Sometimes when stuff goes wrong with a printer, you get what's called layer shift. Or if your part moves while printing, you get the same effect. Like this... Or this

    Yes, it starts back up with a resume print option. The only bad thing is, if the bed cools off, the part is no longer adhered to the bed. So if that happens, I crazy glue the chit out of it before the temp drops. But actually, with my new bed heater, I can crank the temp way up and maybe get the...

    Introducing the Car Jacker 2000 😁

    After installing my upgraded bed heater, and replacing the psu, and adjusting voltages on the psu and main board, this print took me about 10 attempts to get it printing. I thought I had a clogged nozzle, or a poor bed level, or something was still wrong in the electronics department, because it...
