1st Gen Mazda 3 MPS / Mazdaspeed 3 Model

thingiverse

This is a model of the 2009 mazdaspeed 3, or as we know it in europe, the 2009 Mazda 3 MPS. This is a stationary model. The wheels do not spin or turn. but feel free to remix and get something to work. The car has a length of 200mm and all other parts are made to fit at this size. so you might need to tweak the other parts if you want it smaller or bigger. The model consists of the car body itself, oem rims + tires, front and rear brakes, and 2 different sized axles to get a flush look. Assembly goes like this: Rims are glued into the tires, brakes into the rims, axles with the slim side into the backside of the brakes. When the glue is set just glue them into the wheel wells. Make sure the brakes are oriented correctly and the heights match. Printtime at 0.12 layerheight for the body ist about 30 hours. For the wheels and other parts its another 6-7 hours. White PLA doesnt show the delails as nice so i would pick another color. If you decide to Print it please share, id love to see some other colors or designs! Feel free to remix and share!
