Fully 3D-printable wind-up car gift card
Ғылым және технология
If you're looking for a completely new version of the gift card, you can check out my recent Davinci inspired catapult gift card here: • 3D-printable Davinci c...
This wind-up car gift card is the ideal present for your friends and family. Everything on this wind-up toy car is 3D-printable, the spring, shafts, gears, wheels, everything! There are no other parts/tools necessary except for your 3D-printer and some filament (although a small hamer and a knife would be usefull but not necessary).You can make you friends happy by giving them a nice present and at the same time you can show them what is possible with 3D-printing. I created an easy instruction manual to add to the realism of building a real model kit ;-)
You can chose to print the 2 gift cards to give them to someone as a gift or to just assemble it yourself and relive some of your childhood ;-). You can also print all the parts seperatley so you don't have to remove any card material (just some supports for the turn shaft needs to be removed).
The whole car can be assembled without the need for any glue. The print time for gift card 1 (the one with the most parts) is about 4 hours. The print time for gift card 2 (the one with the wheels) is about 2 hours. I decided to print them with 100 percent infill because there wasn't that much of a difference with 25 percent infill, the print time was about the same. Another reason for 100 percent infill is that the spring is being printed better.
I tried to arrange all the parts on the card so that it is possible to print the 2 cards in 2 different colors and still look good (eg 1 wheel on one card and the 3 others on the other card).

I just printed it and this achievement is really excellent, it perfectly shows the capabilities of 3D printing.

@TheSirBlackbird thank you very much 😉👍
That's pretty amazing. Never thought to print a coil spring before. Thanks!
Just finished this and have been playing with it. Thank you!
Excellent idea! I think it is a wonderful present for younger kids :) I'll print it as soon my printer finished the current job.
Loved it! Great design

you should now make a powered glider using that
Really Cool! Will try tonight.

Nice design man! I was wondering if I was able to print a wind up mechanism and this made it clear to me.

What slicer and settings did you use? I'm trying to use Cura 4.8 and it is a huge mess. It can't seem to decide how to do the infill, I've set it to do shell before infill which helps, but still really un-optimized.
Genial! Gracias!

Hello sir, Can I please have a look at the blueprint with dimension of this wind car ?
Brian, my names Austin. I’m a fan of your 3D design work. I am working on an engineering project for my 3D modeling class. I am attempting to recreate your 3D printable car design that you have in thingverse. I am struggling to find dimensions that I can accurately work off of. Would you by any chance be willing to share the original files that you made in Fusion 360?
are you sure that it would take 4 hours because on cura for me it says 10
cool ! thanks

What size is it meant to be printed in? The current default size, when I drop it into Cura, shows a print time of around 20 hours. But you have written on the thingverse.com page that it should be around 4 hours.
I printed this a few weeks ago, but now I can't seem to find it on thingiverse. Great job though. It's a super neat little toy.

It has been reported and therefore removed by Greg Zumwalt because he thinks I copied his design. The model can now be found on my own website ( link in the description ) for 0.99 dollars to pay for the expanses of the website.
What is your transmission ratio ?
The manual isnt updated for the new V2 card versions. Will it still work the same even if the pieces look different?
@BrianBrocken

Hello, yes the car V2 car will perform even better then the V1 (I guess that’s the reason for an updated version) the only difference between the 2 is that the updated version doesn’t need support anymore to print and i added some spacers to keep everything in place but you don’t necessarily have to use them.
i saw scaling down is a bad idea. but i question. how big before it wouldnt work. had a dancing skeleton that didnt work scaled up
I printed at 65% scale, and parts aren't fitting (for e.g. the wind up piece is too big) . Should I whittle them down to make them fit?
@BrianBrocken
4 жыл бұрын
I wouldn’t recommend to scale the parts down as they already have tight tolerances.
first assembly was a bit fiddly. the spiral spring snapped and broke from where it is fixes in frame. printing another one.
Also, when you say the resolution is 0.2mm, what is that, layer height? Or should I use a 0.2mm nozzle?
@bennyajohnson

I think the 0.2mm is referring to the layer height.

Hi. I bought this online and am struggling to get the gift cards to print on a Prusa Mini. I have tried to print the individual parts but the v1 and v2 parts are all mixed up in the same folder. Is it possible you can create a v2 folder that has a complete set of parts for the v2 model? Thanks

Because it’s a “gift card”. A card you can give to someone so they can assemble it with the provided instructions. You can see it as a model kit from the early days.

Ok Jeffery just follow this link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3308710 and go to the tab "Makes". So you're saying all these people are lying or what? Or just go on instagram and search for windupcar you can find video's of people who made my model. You can always try for yourself and print it out with your own printer or a friends. Just take a look at my chanel, this isn't a photoshop or a VFX chanel, I design and print mechanical components to create fun projects.
