3D model description

This is 3D printed solar car project. Plastic parts are 3d printed but the Solar panel, eletric motor with gearbox, wires screws, nuts and whashers must be purchased.

The motor is the same used in many Arduino projetcs. A 6VDC motor with a yellow reduction gear box. It can be purchased in many sites like : https://a.co/d/30O4Gkg

The solar panel has to be the one with the dimensions shown in the picture to fit its support .

1 Watt solar panel: https://a.co/d/c6cH5M6

Besides the parts above described you will need a 2.3 mm steel shaft for the front wheels (can be a rigid steel wire, which s easily found) . Put all parts together as showns in the pictures. The solar pannel has two wires, solder them connecting the pannel and the motor. Observe that depending how you solder the cables the wheels turn clock wise, or counter clock wise. !

By the way, you'll need to print 2 front wheels and 2 rear wheels besides two pivots.

Pivots are the smallest parts. They are used to hold the panel support in its place and you can use it to turn the solar pannel towards the sun.
