Converting a Silhouette Studio File Into a 3D Print File In Tinkercad and Making a Slide Together Sports Car
In a previous blog posting I created a race car body using the Silhouette software. https://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-stem-project-converting-silhouette.html In this blog posting, I created a sports car using similar principles.
I am only offering the SVG file of this model because Tinkercad requires an SVG file. (Silhouette Business edition is required.)
Here is the SVG.
Here are the three links in Tinkercad for the race car model.
Sport Car Part 1 of 3 and Sport Car Part 2 of 3 are parts that were copied from my Silhouette file and then converted to a 3D print file. I found that it is easier to print a file with a lot of space between the parts so I broke up the file into two files.
Sports Car Part 3 of 3 are wheels for the race car which were designed by a Tinkercad user. I also modified the hood of the race car to have a slant at the front edge of the hood.
The model can be glued together if so desired. I think it is more interesting to using Glue Dots so that the model can be taken apart later.
Slide the side pieces together onto the base platform with bumpers.
Notice that the similar front (slit up) and back (slit down) pieces are in opposite directions.
Add the seat and steering wheel to the center chassis.
Attac the front of the chassis to the car body and then the back of the chassis.
Attach the spoiler back window, roof, mirrors and the hood of the car.
Attach the wheels to the axle and insert into the holes in the car. I used a glue dot on the axle to stop the wheels from moving.
