Community Print 3D Print of Hemistorm’s RC Crawler Customizer Competition

Description: This is exactly what it looks like, a DeLorean stuck on an RC crawler. I'm not sure where I got the inspiration from but it just seemed cool. I used Ryan Magid's design (URL Below) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3021924 I downloaded it and inserted it into Fusion 360 to size it and cut it in half so it would fit on my printer. I printed it in two parts. The first print took around 22 hours, but support removal on the time machine half was nearly impossible. I printed the back half again at a different orientation and it finally worked (with a few scars around the wheel wells). I had some warping issues, especially on the back part so I filled it with wood glue, and then wood filler. To attach the pieces, I got a loose hold with super glue, then filled it with wood glue to get a strong hold, and the filled the gap that the warping caused with wood filler. I then sanded it down, and did some detailing with a toothpick. The filament I used was grey to start, and I used acrylic paint to color the time machine and the windows. To attach the car to the RC crawler, I put paint on the original mounting posts the held the old RC car together, and then put the DeLorean on the four posts. From there I simply found a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the posts, and drilled holes into the car where I had put the paint. From there, I put it on and it fit with pressure. Spiel: Wow, this project was a real challenge. The first file I found was full sized so I was basically asking my PC to cut a 14 foot car in half. I also had no idea how to edit a mesh In Fusion 360 so I had to watch a lot of videos. I finally found the right file, cut it in half, deleted all of my progress, started over, cut it into three pieces, decided that it would be stupid to print in three parts, and then changed it back to two parts. I then proceeded to print it and find that even with the support density at 7.5, it was impossible to take it all off, and messed up the model. I printed the back half again and painstaking took off all of the support. I got the cheapest crawler I could find which ended coming from walmart. Being cheaper turned out to work in my favor. It was surprisingly fast and the truck-looking part that came with it was held on with flimsy R-Clips, which I easily slid off to reveal the mounting posts. I utilized my mom's paint and paint brushes to color the time machine and windows. Rather than spending time measuring stuff, I put some pink paint on the mounting posts, and then aligned and pressed the car down to imprint the size and placement of the posts. From there I went to our workshop, found a drill bit about the same size as the poles, and used our drill press to drill the holes. From there I just pressure fitted it in place. I took it outside for a short photoshoot. I also shot two videos but I was not able to upload them
