This thing can be customized with MakerBot Customizer!
Open in Customizer
Description
Over 90,000 different combinations to choose from.
- Including 8 standard cars (you can mix and mash these to form over 100 combinations)
- one of 3 optional spoiler.
- Front facing weapons.
- Change wheel size and rim design
- Change the overal length of your car to turn a pickup into an extended cab or create a limo.
This is the beginning of a larger concept, as I get more experience with OpenSCAD I will update the models (and add some more) to make them look better

Instructions
This OpenSCAD will take a very long time to process so please be patient.
The models have not been tested yet aside from basic testing to ensure they should generate valid STL code.
Leave a comment with details of any problem you have and I will fix the code ASAP.
Wheel size, affects the sizing of the wheel wells so if you want to be able to hot swap wheels, choose the largest wheel sizes.
There are several options for build platform. The intent is for this model to be fabricated from 3 colors/materials (tires, tire rims, and body)

I have streamlined the customization so that you can choose from several
preset cars, and I have added extra weapons. I you don't want to
recreate the entire build you can select print mode 5 to print only the guns.
If you are using the customizer I recommend only selecting one option at a time. The system will eventually catch up to your selections but it will seem very unresponsive to your choices

Expect processing time from when you click make STL to getting a model you can download to be in the neighborhood of 8-10 minutes (if the thingiverse system isn't too heavily loaded)

When I designed this I was hoping my brother would have his printer running shortly, unfortunately that has not happened. As a result I haven't been able to print it yet.
