Miniature (1 foot long) monster truck

thingiverse

This miniature monster truck was crafted with cutting-edge technology, being a 100% 3D printed marvel. Equipped with four sets of fully functional wheels and suspension, the suspension travel boasts an impressive 20mm. Printed in 30 separate parts, this beast required over 100 hours of non-stop printing time. All components were fashioned from ABS except for the eye-catching orange wheel covers made from NinjaFlex, which demanded a whopping 10 hours each to complete. These ornate covers might not be absolutely necessary but they significantly enhance the wheels' rubbery feel and grip.

This particular monster truck boasts components cleverly designed to snap together seamlessly without requiring any glue or external fasteners. However, to achieve a flawless finish, I opted for an ABS and acetone slurry application. This coating ensured the smooth surface of the truck's body and elegantly masked the minute gaps within its structure. To create this remarkable piece, the 3D printer was operated with the following parameters: Rafts: Doesn't Matter, Supports: Yes, Resolution: Medium, Infill: 10-20%, and a clever use of acetone to achieve a superior finish. I also experimented with 2 layers and 10% infill for the NinjaFlex components and employed 3 layers with 10% infill or increased it to 20% for enhanced structural integrity.
