3D model description

This is a 3D printable scale model roller coaster designed as part of a project from my Master's course in additive manufacturing at the University of Nottingham (United Kingdom).

DISCLAIMER: Your results may vary from ours given the nature of 3D printing. For best results, it is recommended that you have access to powder bed fusion and vat photopolymerisation 3D printers. This is intended as a non-commercial educational project for hobbyists and roller coaster enthusiasts. The recommended skill level is Intermediate to Proficient (but beginners may find educational value in this project).

For those still interested in printing this, please refer to the attached link to the instruction manual.

For those who wish to know more about the project, our papers are also available to download. It will not be the best paper you've ever read on the subject, but we feel it may help give some insight into the field of additive manufacturing to those interested in pursuing it as a career or academic discipline.

Google Drive link to the instruction manual and papers:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/102d-3WE3-IGi_GEEEtURooLNBSCzP5FR?usp=sharing

Our paper includes topics on:
- Roller coaster physics
- Roller coaster loop design methodology
- An overview of additive manufacturing techniques
- Tensile and compression testing of 3D printing materials
- 3D printed motors
- Roller coaster computational simulation (MATLAB - code included)
