Description

Show some love to the folks who get the kids to school safely every day! This "Rocket School Bus" blasting off is the perfect, unique gift for Bus Driver Appreciation.


It makes a fantastic desk display piece, but it was also designed with versatility in mind—you can easily turn the smoke cloud base into a custom lamp if you want to add some extra flair.

Print Profile Details:

  • Layout: All parts are conveniently arranged on a single build plate for easy one-click printing. If you prefer, you can separate the parts into different plates in your slicer.
  • Orientation: The school bus is purposely oriented on its back. This provides the cleanest print quality and minimizes the need for complex supports on the finer details.
  • Print Time: This is a comprehensive, high-quality model. Expect a total print time of approximately 12 hours.
  • Colors: Designed to look great with standard PLA. Load up your AMS with School Bus Yellow, Deep Red, Black, and White to get the perfect blast-off effect.

Assembly & Post-Processing:

  • Weighting the Base: Because of the dynamic, angled design of the taking-off bus, the model is top-heavy. You should add weights to the bottom of the smoke cloud base to ensure it doesn't tip over.
  • Lamp Conversion: The base has room for a light source if you choose to wire this up as a desk lamp. Use bambu slicer to cut of the bottom .01 and there will be space to put a puck light. I have not tried myself.
  • I would use acrylic markers to make the bus more bus like

Happy printing, and thank your local bus drivers!
