Horsebox food truck

thingiverse

Here's my first attempt at creating my own thing: a model of a friend's converted horsebox food truck. The model isn't perfect by a long shot, I'm still learning, but it prints okay. A few observations from printing on my stock Ender 3: - Scaling to 130% on all parts gave decent definition and quality. I didn't make the box walls thick enough when modeling, so it needs 130% scale to be 2-3 lines thick at 0.4mm line width. You might be okay at 100% if you have a better printer and/or smaller nozzle. - Again, I made the roof section too thin; it prints okay at 130% but is very delicate and not a great finish without painting, etc. Suggest trying the untested roofV2 with thicker walls instead. - Related to issues above, I found it necessary to enable Print Thin Walls in Cura. - Reducing line width to 0.26mm for the menu and sign models gave better definition on the embossed text, at least in Cura preview; not sure how much it actually helps when printing with a 0.4mm nozzle. - Unless you glue the wheels just right and make it balance, you'll probably also want to glue something to the underside for the box to rest on. Enjoy! --- I modeled everything apart from the tire in TinkerCAD. The tire is borrowed from: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gggl9kJ2Bet-tyre
