A toy car with gears functioning as wheels, featuring a linkage gear that enables all-wheel drive. It drives and handles exceptionally well on carpet surfaces. To operate this vehicle effectively, it is crucial to understand basic gear principles. By grasping these fundamental concepts, users can optimize their experience with the toy car. The toy car works optimally when paired with coarse printing settings. To achieve the best results, use a 0.3mm height and a 0.6mm nozzle during the printing process. Additionally, print sequentially at 100% infill density to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity. Although not parameterized, the SCAD file is provided for users who wish to customize their toy car experience. To assemble the vehicle, start by sanding each gear side to remove any excess material from the teeth. Next, attach the gears to axles and secure them with two 8mm M3 screws. For enhanced performance, apply dry lube to the gears. For those looking for alternative screw options, a link is provided on Amazon for $10. Alternatively, users can search their garage for suitable screws or drill out existing holes to accommodate the correct size. The specific product can be found at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714FLXND.
