Title: 3D toy
Post by: MPlayle on May 14, 2019, 11:44:05 AM
A friend of mine that does some hardware contracting to the same UK company I do firmware for was playing with his 3D printer and sent me this with some hardware for a project we are both working on.

That looks pretty accurate.  How big is it?

It actually is reasonably accurate.  It is about 5.5" long and is more like the Aussie Mokes - has the rear "kick out" for the larger wheels/tires like the Aussie Mokes.

MPlayle, when using a 3D printer do you have to use Catia or Cadcam software to draw the lines or the details of the model?

I spoke with the friend of mine that printed the model and sent it to me.  He said he found the project in one of the online 3D printer project websites.  He just had to print it.

I can try to get more details from him this weekend.
