Brio Lego Carriage Wideload

thingiverse

Bring together Lego and Brio with this carriage mashup. This carriage is wider than other available ones, and my kids love them. Inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3737814, I started building a new version with more studs on top. The axle and wheels come directly from the original project, but the carriage is a fresh model. These are split into 3 separate STL files. The body design is in TinkerCAD; drop me a message if you want to edit it. __3 Changes:__ - More studs on top allow for even more bricks to be easily attached. - I added more weight to the original design to stop sliding and buckling on the track when connected in a long train. For this reason, I use at least 70% infill; it makes for a heavier toy that can hold its own when attached to wooden engines. You'll notice a different shaped body also to accommodate this. - I put bigger magnet holes in as I could only readily get hold of 10mm diameter magnets. __Extra Parts:__ - Magnets: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007UOXRY0/ - Upholstery tacks: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MYSZWM6/ __Printing:__ Use a high % infill to add weight as this makes the carriages behave better on the tracks. I sliced this with Prusa Slicer, no supports needed and 0.15 res.
