Local Motors Strati 3D printed car - modified for rolling wheels and detail
Description
I Really Enjoy The Model Of The Local Motors Strati 3D Printed Car That Is Posted On Thingiverse, But I Wanted To Make It Simultaneously More Similar To The Real Car, And With Rolling Wheels. Working Off The Original Files, I Started From The Individual Files And Scaled Them To 1/20 Scale. For Some Reason 1/10 Was Way Too Big For My Printer. The Original Separate Body File Seems To Be Finer And More Detailed, So This Gives You Improved Quality. Next I Cut Out Holes In The Body So That An Axle Will Pass Through. I Rebuilt The Suspension Pivots And Struts To Be More Robust, And Also To Allow Room For A Rotating Wheel. The Windshield Is Broken Out As A Separate Part So You Can Make It In Clear Plastic If Available. (I Used An Objet Connex Printer For This) Last But Not Least, I Modeled From Scratch A Wheel That Looks More Like The Real One That Was Shown. The Tires Are Separate, So You Can Print Them In Flexible Filament/Elastomer/Another Color If You So Desire.
