Description
A base for Hotwheels Plymouth Superbird from the Boulevard set, it should work with other Plymouth Superbird released from Hotwheels as well.
The display base is separated into 4 parts for easy printing and colour swap. The parts are:
1) Name plate (NamePlateCurvedAssem.STL)
2) Base (BaseV1.STL)
3) Banked base (Oval3.STL)
4) Base back wall (BoxBackCut.STL)
Print Settings
Nozzle size = 0.4 mm (minimum size, smaller nozzle could be better)
Layer height = 0.2 mm
Infill = 20% (could be lower but 20% feels more rigid)
Filament change layer for colours on BoxBackCut:
1) Starting colours will be the "net" colours (mine is in silver)
2) Layer 12 ("Wall" colours, mine is in white)
3) Layer 16 ("Daytona" lettering, mine is in black)
Filament change layer for colours on name plate:
1) Layer 16 (Lettering on name plate)
*For the name plate, the lettering face will need to be parallel to the print bed for the filament change as shown here: https://i.imgur.com/xV9XuHm.png
Support will be needed to print this part.
Colours
Colours of all other items is your choice.
Assembly
The car is tied with metal wire through the banked base holes, the wire will need to be slide between the wheels and the metal body.
Back plate should slide in nicely into the display base. The name plate might need some trimming to the side to fit into the banked base.
It is recommended to glue the banked base on to the base and the name plate on to the banked base.
