The Grid Reaper saga continues with the first day of epic battle at RMRRF 2026! This Death Racer was printed from 20 esoteric filaments, and because you’re a cool cat who reads descriptions, you get to see them!
1) Chassis core: PEKK-A for super-strength
2) Chassis front: GF-PEKK for superer-strength
3) Chassis rear: PEI 9085 because it’s cool
4) Seat: GF-PCTG for ultimate spiffiness (it’s so spiffy)
5) Cape/Head/Scythe: Rebound Air (foamed PEBA) for low mass and high squish
6) Wheel: PEI 1010 cuz it’s on your spring-steel print plates
7) Battery box: PPSU for fire mitigation
8) Rims: GF-core PPA for axial strength
9) Roller cores: Igus Iglidur for low friction
10) Rollers: SEBS for traction
11) Livery black: Atomic Jet Black, the blackest black filament
12) Livery red: Hedgehog Red for friend chips
13) Livery white: Addnorth Textura, literally paper-white
14) Livery green: Inland silk, same as Co-Lab-Orator nameplates
15) Fenders: PEBA for shock absorption
16) Gears: 3DXTech WearX PA for wear resistance
17) Voltmeter filter on dashboard: Amber PLA for its specific tint
18) Reaper’s noodle arm joints: Recreus Filaflex 60A Pro for flexibility
19) Original scythe: GF-PA for steel-gray color
20) Gridfinity plate: Pre-production sample of Fishy Filament Porthcurno, personally sent by the late E3D founder Sanjay Mortimer
