RC Drift Car (Prusament Box)

prusaprinters

<p>This is an RC drift car with a body made from a Prusament box. It uses drift wheels and a differential locker printed from the PLA in the box. The base chassis is a Tamiya TT-01E.</p> <p>This was my son's idea. He loves making RC car bodies with cardboard. We recently got a Prusa i3 MK3S and used the Prusament box inside and the filament that came with it to make this upcycling project.</p> <p>Body is our own design, from the Prusament box.</p> <p>Wheels are not our design (Thingiverse thing 654612 from emosolo).</p> <p>The differential locker is our design.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>RC Car body: Just take a Prusament box, fold it and cut it to fit over your RC car chassis. A lot of the cuts and folds can be reused from the box already. Use tape and staples to hold it together. Should work with any RC car.</p> <p>Differential locker: This is our design. Print with 0.2mm layers, with full outlines so that it is solid. Do not use infill. Works great with PLA. Use supports from bed.</p> <p>Drift wheels: These are the emosolo design from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:654612">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:654612</a>. We printed out of PLA at 0.2mm layer height. Used maximum number of perimeters/shells to ensure it is 100% full no gaps. We also used PETG with success. Print rim facing down. GCode provided for MK3S was tested.</p>
