biline shared this print on Thingiverse!

I loved the design but after printing the first one and showing to friends and family I noticed they didn’t know which end was the front until I wound it up and showed them. I thought maybe if it had some head lights it would make it more clear I ended up also added a dual exhaust to it also.

I wanted the gears hidden so that it would look more like a Car model so I made some windows. I did all these changes with Tinkercad, it was a learning experience but I’m happy with the results but I do need to spend time with Fusion 360.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
