Easy fit 3D tracks Hot Wheels attachable

thingiverse

I created this alternate Hot Wheels tracks and adapters so my nephew can play with his original tracks & cars plus quickly build new custom designs without needing any help from me. These are not high-speed tracks but rather designed for kids to easily build and customize their own tracks using their little hands. The adapters allow the original tracks to snap together seamlessly with these new ones. My nephew constantly asked me to connect the tracks, so I've finally come up with a solution that lets him do it all by himself without any assistance. All parts fit neatly within a 200x200mm build plate and require adapter support for proper assembly. This design prints easily, allowing kids to create intricate 3D tracks with features like slopes and building supports. Some parts may require extra printing support due to their complex nature. UPDATE (11-OCT-2016): I've added a left track crossover to the mix, bringing the total number of printed parts to over 100! Expect plenty of pics soon, along with some updates on bodywork designs for Hot Wheels cars. UPDATE (20-SEP-2016): It's time to take things to the next level - we're going 3D! Four brand-new parts have been added to the mix: up and down slopes plus their corresponding rotating building supports. Please note that these new parts require support during printing. I've also included a stackable support with multiple floors, perfect for creating complex track designs. UPDATE (19-SEP-2016): As predicted, my nephew has started asking for more custom parts - a tunnel or bridge would be great, right? So, I designed something that can do both: a tunnel that doubles as a bridge. This design prints perfectly vertical with just build plate support needed. The holes are at 45º angles, so they don't require additional support during printing. Fingers crossed this will keep my nephew occupied for a while longer, giving me some much-needed time off from designing new parts!
