Mini Monster Willy with rotating wheels

myminifactory

OK this is my first ever remix of anything so it was a learning experience, I could have done some further improvements but in the end I'm happy enough with the end-result. This mash up combines many other projects with the Willy Jeep and suspension frame from "Mini Monster Willy" http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1958890. By splitting the frame from the jeep, I was able to print it separately and in different colors. After printing my first jeep, I noticed that the steering wheel and shifters broke quite easily. To address this issue, I redesigned these parts to be thicker and stronger. Next, I borrowed the wheels from "Remix Mini Monster Truck w/ Rotating Wheels" http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1946877. Here, I used Emmett's Gear Bearing wheels and tires. I modified the frame to accept the wheels and added a small cube to help align the frame and jeep body correctly. This small cube needs to be glued in place as I couldn't figure out a better way to attach it without glue. Supports are necessary for the frame and steering wheel on the jeep, but I chose to add them manually through my slicer instead of building them into the design. I probably missed some information or forgot something, so I'll update and fix these issues when I can.
