Jakku Salvage Crawler

pinshape

Designed specifically for the current Hasbro 3.75" Star Wars action figures, this motorized vehicle is built to assemble (and disassemble) with modular, magnetized parts that feature a casing for LittleBits parts making it run! Built from salvaged Rebel Alliance ship parts, scavengers on Jakku use vehicles like this to collect scrap and defend their claim from rival scrappers. This unofficial toy is an original design made in tribute to the release of The Force Awakens and our entry into the LittleBits Bit-Wars challenge. The model was designed in TinkerCAD where you can find and customize it. If you create variants or more modular pieces, we want to see your creations! This project was a joint effort with my IGG co-founder, Jeremy Larsen. We printed our parts at a .2 layer height with 15% infill. If your rig is levelled (plate leveled and such) then the tolerance should allow the pieces to slide/snap together. Otherwise, feel free to shave, sand, whittle, and glue as needed! You'll need to attach the magnets in place. Painting isn't necessary (you could just print in the colors you like) but we used a sloppy drybrush technique using the biggest brush we could find. We used a combination of Games Workshop and P3 paints, though any acrylic miniature paints will work. The other materials you'll need (in addition to the printable parts) are as follows: 3/4"/19.1mm Grommets x1, 3D Printed ABS x1, 3D Printed PLA x1, 9.5mm Rare Earth Magnets x1, and a LittleBits Gizmos & Gadgets kit x1. We've set up a Patreon page for anyone who's interested to help fund us so we can keep making free and open sourced games like Pocket-Tactics, Wayfarer Tactics. and others, not to mention the growing catalog of toys and gaming miniatures that you can use for whatever you want! (Psst... we take requests and commissions...) Enjoy watching this tutorial video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Np0HpW5MxdQ
