pinewood derby aerodynamics 3d models

We're creating a Pinewood derby car that mimics a Lamborghini police vehicle this year, and what's a police car without a distinctive light bar? We crafted a small circuit using the versatile 555 timer chip and two Blue LED lights. To achieve the...

https://www.printables.com/model/18910-pinewood-derby-weight-drilling-jig This is a remix (link below) i haven't modified it yet, but mainly I posted this so I could easily download and print from an STL file. The holes are slightly smaller than a...

This is a tool that I created to assist with lining up my drill press for drilling new axle holes into a Pinewood Derby car block. If your pack permits cars with longer wheel bases, this device can accurately spot the holes for you. The centers of...

This drilling jig is designed to assist in guiding drill holes for adding tungsten weights to the bottom of a pinewood derby car. By default, it's set up for 3/8" diameter weights and positions them on either side of the shorter axle length on the...

This stand is designed for painting a pinewood derby car before attaching the wheels; it fits snugly into the grooves on the bottom of the block of wood. I'm including the .blend file so anyone who wants to tweak the design can do so freely, and I'd...

Generatively designed co2 car for a No-rules Pinewood Derby. This car made it down a 49' track in .548 seconds with an average speed of 60.7 mph.The car uses regular 12 gram co2 cartridges that you would use for a bb gun. You will probably need to...

We host our own annual pinewood derby, a unique event in The Netherlands that we had to create from scratch by printing our own wheels. My initial design was flawed because the stem frequently broke off when kids tried to adjust the angle of their...

Print this, stick it on your car, and fill it with BBs to fine tune the weight of your pinewood derby car. This holder can take 25 BBs, which together weigh about .25 oz, so you can set the car to weigh around 5.1 oz on your home scale. If you're too...

This year's pinewood derby entry makes a dramatic splash. A penguin glides down the track, riding out its fate on his back. Inspired by a recent animated movie's waddling wonders, yet no single character steals the show. Crafted from standard issue...

I'm not a fan of the bent axle design for setting up a pinewood derby car. I prefer precision and knowing exactly what's happening when I set my car up. To achieve this, I purchased the Pro Driller by Pinewood Pro...

Pinewood derby car designed for unlimited class competition. Equipped with an electric motor and a robust 5-inch propeller, powered by a reliable radio control system that enables effortless on/off switching of the propeller. The high-performance...

Note: My car was featured in the September 2011 issue of Popular Mechanics http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to-plans/backyard-genius-2011-the-years-10-best-diy-creations-jet-propelled-pine-wood-derby-car This is a 3D printable motor for an...

This drilling jig is designed to help guide drill holes for adding tungsten weights to the bottom of a pinewood derby car. The default settings are set up for 3/8" diameter weights, and distributing the holes on either side of the shorter of the two...

This is a versatile jig for precision-drilling axle holes on Pinewood Derby cars. One side of the jig is carefully positioned 2.5mm above the bottom, while the other side is set at 3.5mm to accommodate three wheels touching if permitted by your local...

This is an outlaw-class pinewood derby car driven by a high-performance electric ducted fan. - I chose the ElectriFly 56mm ducted fan by Hyperflow to power my car. - The fan is powered by a 7.4V LiPo drone battery - I used a Venom 430, but a...

This is a drilling template designed specifically for pinewood derby car blocks. Drilling with a #44 bit proves to be more effective than using standard cut slots, which can make alignment of wheels challenging and difficult to maintain. This...

Our pack had an "outlaw" class with no restrictions on wheels for the pinewood derby. Mine performed well except it wobbled due to the "axle" offset in the wheel. I had added the axle to give room to angle the axles. The version uploaded has shorter...

... wheel wells without supports. "Wood Block.stl" can be printed as a model to illustrate how the actual pinewood derby block should be cut (assuming that you want to build a car that complies with the rules--you have to use the parts from the kit).

Our pack had an "outlaw" class with no restrictions on wheels for the pinewood derby, and mine performed well except it wobbled due to the "axle" offset in the wheel. I had added the axle to give room to angle the axles, but that only made things...

The holes are slightly smaller than a 3/8 bit but otherwise it worked quite well. This is a drilling jig that is intended to help guide drill holes for adding tungsten weights to the bottom of a pinewood derby car. The default settings are setup for...

The pinewood used in these derby cars is relatively soft and may not hold screws securely. 7. Place the car on a perfectly flat surface and adjust the axles as needed to achieve straight wheels. 8. Push the car across a flat surface to test its...

Our pack now allows 3D printed cars to compete against the standard pinewood cars. Fortunately our standard car came together in time. ...If it hadn't, this would have been "Plan-B" Category: Hobby

... hinges at the top are brass Everbilt 1000 020 947 hinges available at Home Depot. You will need to add weight to get this up to 5 oz. I modeled this mostly to check the viability of the design which will be done from an actual pinewood blank.

Our pack is now open to cars that can be 3D printed, pitting them directly against traditional pinewood cars. Fortunately, our standard car was completed just in time. ...If it hadn't made the deadline, we'd have had to fall back on Plan B instead.

I modified the British Armored Car model to fit snugly on a pinewood block skirt. To achieve this fit, I had to adjust the height of the block accordingly. To make the turret functional, I attached a peg that allows it to rotate freely. In order to...

You can grab one for a mere $5 including shipping on my site - it's purely to cover costs and give back to the wonderful Pinewood community. Instructions: 1. Position the axle guide in its pre-cut slot for the nail. 2. When done correctly, you'll...

While browsing online, I came across this awesome model that can be modified to fit perfectly onto a pinewood block. To make it work, you'll need to cut the block down to 10mm thick and 154mm long - but don't forget to get the front-centering of the...
