Railbike Chassis

thingiverse

A while back, I shared a collection of [3D printed railway bogies](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2561782) with the goal of incorporating them into a larger project. This larger project was to build a deck and attach a 1:18 scale motorbike model from Maisto. Here's the final result, a detailed model railway chassis that could be adapted to other motorbike models. I should also stress **THIS MODEL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE MOTORBIKE**. The motorbike is an old Maisto model I bought years ago. There are some good 3D printed motorbike models available that might lend themselves to this project, such as Hex17's [Hex17's Motorbike project](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2248854) or Valcrow's incredible [Ducati model over on Youmagine](https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ducati-1199-superbike-complex). This package is self-contained and includes the railway bogie models, so you don't need to rush off and download them as well. I have included the **blender** model used to design the parts, and an **obj** version of the assembly for those who use other modeling packages. The **pdf** includes assembly instructions for when you are faced with a mountain of pieces and wondering how they go together. Each **STL** filename includes the number of times that piece needs to be printed. I have designed it so that no support is required. You can find out more about the project on my website [www.techmonkeybusiness.com - Railbike Project](http://www.techmonkeybusiness.com/3d-printed-railbike.html). Have fun! **Update 3rd Feb 2019** If you are looking for tracks to display it on, then have a look at these parametric track models. You will just need to set the track gauge to 36mm and sleeper length to 58mm to be compatible with this model. * Standard Straight Track https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3400628 * Standard Curve Track https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3400642 * OS-Railway Straight Track https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3400784 * OS-Railway Curved Track https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3400779
