Back to the Future 1 DeLorean 1-18 Scale Super Detailing Parts 3D print model

Here are these files I used to turn a Sun Star 1:18 DeLorean model into the Back to the Future 1 car. But you could use the parts to super detail any Back to the Future DeLorean model...including models in other scales if you rescale the files. The STL files can be printed through Shapeways in fine detail plastic, but you'll need to use the "print anyway" option due to thin parts. Each of the four groups of sprued parts STL files end up costing between $15-$20 to print. The side flux bands are better printed in Shapeways' versatile plastic because of their awkward shape that takes up a lot of machine space and makes printing in fine detail plastic very expensive. The larger parts can be printed on an FDM printer - I did it this way. If you have a resin 3D printer, you can pull individual part files from the Sketchup files. Note that these Sketchup files are 10x larger due to Sketchup performing poorly at small scales. So, all files exported to STL need to be reduced to 1/10 the size. Accurate seat files and alternative back vents can be found on Thingiverse at thingiverse.com/TheHappyOne/designs. These digital cutter files I used to cut adhesive vinyl for various details are included here in SVG or Adobe Illustrator format. Depending on your digital cutter and software, you may need to convert them to another format like DXF. You'll also find some files for making decals - I use a color laser printer and Micro Mark decal paper. The Flux Capacitor is designed to be lit by 0.25mm fiber optics. The taillights on the Sun Star DeLorean are slightly off, so they don't line up with the back vents properly. I made alternative lights, but the extra work wasn't worth it in my opinion since the Sun Star taillights technically look better even if they're a bit incorrect. I also redid the hinge for the gull wing doors, but it proved problematic. Sticking with the stock hinge system on the Sun Star model - even with oversized screws intruding on the cabin - is much easier.
