To showcase a 3D printer's utility, we used it to create CD hubs and wheelblocks for our mousetrap-powered vehicle. We crafted a car with an old basswood base, aligning square-patterned wheelblocks that accommodate 5mm ID bearings. Axles were made from 5mm carbon fiber rods, pressed into the CD rings; gluing was optional but may complicate disassembly. 1. Prepare your decorations before assembling the car using basswood as base material. 2. Secure wheelblocks on basswood with M3 hardware, ensuring a 5mm ID bearing fit. Bearings can be glued or pressed-fit into place. Making use of a 3D printer, we designed CD hubs and wheelblocks for our mousetrap vehicle. The car's base was crafted from an old basswood, with wheelblocks arranged in a square pattern to accommodate 5mm ID bearings. Axles were created using 5mm carbon fiber rods, press-fit into the CD rings; gluing was optional but could hinder disassembly. 1. For easy car decorating, complete it before assembly on the basswood base. 2. Attach wheelblocks to basswood with M3 hardware and 5mm ID bearings. Bearing installation can be done through gluing or a press-fit method. To demonstrate a 3D printer's usefulness, we created CD hubs and wheelblocks for our mousetrap vehicle. We used an old basswood base, aligning square-patterned wheelblocks designed for 5mm ID bearings. Axles were made of 5mm carbon fiber rods, press-fitted into the CD rings; glue was optional but may hinder disassembly. 1. Decorate your car on the basswood base before assembly. 2. Secure wheelblocks with M3 hardware and 5mm ID bearings on the basswood base; both gluing and press-fit methods work.
