Interior and accessories for the VW Bus

thingiverse

Having seen the bus that ChaosCoreTech designed, I just had to print one for a friend. But I wanted it to be more - I wanted it to be lit up and have an interior. With this remix, you get: - The body with a hole for a 9V battery, the rest of the body is original and unchanged. - The roof file, hollowed out so that potential light could also come out of the roof windows. (If you decide to light your model) - Battery holder box (Glue it in place over the hole or merge the two files in a program like Meshmixer if you want it attached to the main body already) - Battery cover (I drilled out the two holes in the bottom of the body and then glued two M3 nuts on the inside to hold two M3 bolts) - Dashboard (You can print it without supports, but I used supports for the part that holds the steering wheel. Just glue it to the inside of the front) - Steering wheel (The hole might be too small on some printers, so use a 2mm drill bit and make the hole a little larger. Then you can use a piece of filament as the steering bar and glue the steering wheel to the dashboard) - Mirrors (Small circles, print two and use a small piece of filament and bend it with pliers into the correct shape and glue them to the model body, see pictures) - Front seats (Consists of a false bottom plate with the front two seats and the first bench. Designed to hide wires in the bottom if you light your model) - Back seats (Also the false bottom plate with the second bench) The reason for dividing the seating into two files is that you'll need two separate pieces when installing them into the body. The body is tapered, so a full plate wouldn't fit through the roof opening. You'll also need to add something for support in the middle - I suggest using the battery box, even if you don't want to light your model, it could be used as an anchor point for the false floor. Don't forget to get the original files for the missing parts like wheels and pins or the body if you don't want to light it up.
