3D model description

The perfect little extra gift. A fun toy for the small ones. Or a great little art piece.

There are two fun models:
The Giraffe car - The giraffe tilts pleasingly from side to side, when you drive the car
The Hippo car - The hippo jumps up and down in pure enjoyment, when you drive the car

No parts need support. The car can be printed on a raft, if you struggle with bed adhesion. And remember to enable z-hop, to keep the small parts on the bed. Everything is click-together, no glue needed. If this is a gift for small children, you could glue the wheels on, just to keep it a little more sturdy. The model has some fine details that may break, if the toy is used agressively.

Everything is included with each car. Even optional tires that can be printed in TPU. The cars does drive OK on smooth surfaces, but works even better if you attach tires.

The Giraffe car can be bought for a very small fee here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-giraffe

The Funny Bunny Bus can be bought for a very small fee here:
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/cute-cars-funny-bunny-bus

The package includes:

1 Car
1 Frame (For the inside)
1 Animal model
1 Shaft (Print 2)
1 Shaft gear
1 Wheel (Print 4)
1 Tire (Optional - Print 4)

UPDATE: I have updated the frame to let the wheels spin much better.

Have fun!
