Print Bed minimum: 210 x 210 x 210
Supports:
No supports needed EVER! Supports are built into the Model. (Because of the built in supports and fine detailed areas a 0.4 nozzle or Adaptive slicer must be used)
Printer Settings:
0.4 nozzle
.2 layer Hight (no bigger)
Infill Axles and wheels 50-80% Everything else 20%
Filament:
Models are designed around the use of a strong PLA. For best results use Prusa PLA, Inland Plus, CC3D Max, ( Hatchbox PLA does not test well with my models)
Glue:
This model does not use glue for structural support. Glue is used to hold in license plate, brake lights and other fine detail work. Screws are used to hold model together.
