Re-imagined Batmobile car body in HO scale

thingiverse

Inspired by the Batmobile in the Telltale Batman video game, this car design owes its look to Matt Donie of BigBangDesignGuy.com, whose renderings served as inspiration. The credit for these designs goes to him. The T-Jet chassis will be perfectly suited for the version with posts. Those who prefer a different chassis can opt for the version without posts. To print this car without additional support, simply orient it nose-up. Once printed, cut off the rear fin support elements and sand or cut down the front fins to achieve a sleek, swept-back look. The shell of this car is approximately 0.8 mm thick and was designed with a 0.4 mm extrusion width in mind. It's made using single perimeter prints with no infill at all. To ensure the best results, print it at a speed of 16.5mm/s and use a layer height of 0.1 mm. Make sure to uncheck "Detect Thin Walls" in your slicer. This car design may show up as non-manifold in some slicers due to its unique structure, but that's not something to be concerned about. Slic3r is quite forgiving when it comes to these types of objects. There are a few thin areas on this car that might cause the extrusion width to increase, resulting in holes if you try to use a nozzle larger than 0.4 mm. The photos shown here were printed using PLA at 215C and full layer fan with a .35 mm nozzle. The materials used include Black Solutech PLA, Purple MARS PLA, Silver MARS PLA, and White MARS PLA.
