Cable car "Hawks Lane"

prusaprinters

The model of a cable car including the bottom and top station and a cable car cabin I have made for my son. To be completely honest, I probably had more fun in designing and building it then he had playing with it later, but he still loves it!Bottom station is designed to hold in a NEMA17 motor and electronics (Arduino nano) which enables the button controls over the cable car (left-stop-right) as well as automatic stopping of the cable car inside the bottom station by using a magnet inside the cabin and sensor inside the base.Both bottom and top station are meant to be mounted sideways on a wardrobe or a wall and connected using a strong non-flexible string. The cable car can then run from the ground (were a kid can place some lego inside :) ) and up to near the ceiling and back.The cabin itself with some minor modification was taken from a model of Ivanov design studio: A toy cable car "Liftche" so I'd like to thank Ivan for the inspiration.I have attached detailed instructions on building the model, all the STL files as well as step files if you would like to modify it and develop further.The only thing I didn't document in detail is electronics assembly and programing just because I didn't find time. However, if you have any questions about it please just ask I and I would be happy to explain and share everything.Have fun! ;)
