Print-in-Place Suzuki Jimny

This Print-in-Place model of a the famous Japanese offroader Suzuki Jimny is my second Print-in-Place vehicle with working suspension! The wheels spin too! The only thing you have to do after printing is to snip off a few tiny pillars that prevent the axle casings from fusing with the wheel axles during printing and you are off to traverse the wilderness! If you wish to scale it down, I wouldn't go below 60% since then the supporting bits are thinner than the nozzle can print. There are two versions: a normal one and a one with weaker springs. The one with weakened springs is intended for scaled up versions, where the springs can get pretty stiff quite quickly. Despite the limitations of designing a vehicle with interior and working suspension and wheel mechanisms, I was able to preserve all the differentiating and iconic features of the vehicle. There are some long bridges that could become a problem if you decide to scale the model up, but otherwise, it's quite an easy model to print. However, if you have issues printing any of my designs, DM me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/vit.budina/) and I will send you my Cura profile. Update: I was able to print this in 250% scale and the bridges held up, so it should work for anyone as crazy as me who decides to print this at that scale. Enjoy! :D
