Neighborhood Trolley

thingiverse

As a child, I adored Mister Roger's trolley, so here is a trolley design inspired by it. Let your trolley take you to the land of Makerbotbelieve! Updated 6/20/12: Trolley6.stl has been refined for better printing on various machines. Download and print Trolley6.stl, with all parts printed together in this file. Alternatively, you can print the parts individually if desired. First, insert the split rod into the base, "wheels" down, ensuring a snug fit. Next, slide the body over the rod, fitting loosely. Be gentle with the fragile poles during assembly. Then, place the top roof onto the center rod, ensuring a snug fit once again. Finally, squeeze everything together and play! Where will your trolley take you? For an optimal experience, print this trolley in red, and feel free to share a photo if you do so. The Sketchup file is also attached for those who wish to edit the colors for dual-color printing capabilities. Ideally, the colors would be: roof - red with yellow sign strips; body - red with green seats (yellow seat sides); base - black.
