3DSets Max Van cargo module - spare parts palette

The Model14 long body offers insane cargo capacity, which is extremely usable in the #printedtrophy challenge (where you're supposed to carry all the spare batteries and parts in the car itself), but torturing the car in harsh terrain, you'll soon find out the ancient truth, that any cargo just must be tied down. Period, no discussion :D 

Allright, but how to acces the one spare cardan joint you need when everything is bundled up deep inside the model?

Enter my palette module!

Designed to slide under the “alternative battery case” palette from model15 and latch into modified “Floor 8”, It offers you a way to secure all the precious cargo, (be it a spare axle or a few cans of Czech beer) while being easily removable as a compact module!

And most importantly, it still looks “scale realistic” both in and out of the model car - especially when printed from a “Woodfill” material!

Assembly should be obvious from the parts shape, you also need some M3x8 bolts (which you should have plenty from the original build), and a slight modification of the “floor 8” original part - It didn't feel right to me to post here original 3DSets part with just Prusaslicer's “negative bodies” modifiers, but if you know your way around a Slicer, you should get all the info you need from the last picture.

Or, if you are more of a “classic modelmaker”, you should have no problem marking the holes using the palette, and them drilling+filing the required shapes into the floor part.

Don't scrimp on infill and perimeters on the Palette front's “lips” the shape (dictated by the existing 3DSets battery palette) makes it a little engineering weakpoint.

Enjoy and happy adventures!
