Doll Carriage

thingiverse

My Daughter Wanted a Carriage Party, and Suggested That I Design Her Dream Carriage. We Went Through Many Iterations on the Design Aesthetic Until We Settled on This Design. I Printed It On My Printrbot Simple a While Back, Breaking it Down into Four Pieces That Need to Be Glued or Welded Together Due to Print Bed Size Limitations. After She Saw the Carriage, She Wanted a Roof. I Never Got Around to Printing It, but The Files Are Here If You Want to Try. However, I Recommend Not Attaching the Roof as it Will be Hard to Get Dolls in and Out of the Small Oval Door. Print Settings Printer: Printrbot Simple 2014 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 20% Notes: You May Consider Brim as the Print Has a Large Footprint and Doesn't Want to Curl. You Will Need at Least Two of Each Carriage Side Files. If You Want a Full-Sized Barbie, You'll Also Need the Extension. Printing in PLA is Probably Necessary as I'm Not Sure This Would be Successful with ABS. Post-Printing Assembly: There Are Four Pieces (Minimum) Which Have to Be Glued Together. The Carriage Is Mirrored Around the Center Plane, So There are Two of Each Type of Bottom Piece Required. If You Want to Make the Longer Version, You'll Need the Extension Piece as Well. The Arrangement Should be Rather Straightforward as the Extension Sits Between the Two Halves. I Use a Temperature-Controlled Soldering Iron to "Weld" PLA Parts Together and This Worked Well. You Could Probably Use Adhesives, but I Have No Experience with Adhesives and PLA. The Hubs Press Fit into the Wheels (Glue if You Must) and the Shaft is a Standard Clothes Hanger Wire Suitably Straightened Glued in Place. It's Difficult to Get That to Fit Perpendicularly, So I Undersized the Hole a Bit so I Could Customize the Fit to Whatever Wire I Had Available. The Printer I Used Was Rather Finicky, so I Don't Guarantee the Fit of All the Parts Will be Perfect for Your Machine as They Were "Tuned" for My Plywood and Zip Tie Printer. Obviously, Feel Free to Paint it Afterward. Be Sure to Consult the Recipient or Your Efforts Will Be Wasted. How I Designed This I Worked with My Daughter.
