3D model description

Welcome to Amarillo, TX!

This model was created fully in Tinkercad by MiniWorld3D founder Dany SΓ‘nchez.

Cadillac Ranch is a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas, USA. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm.

The installation consists of ten Cadillacs (1949-1963) buried nose-first in the ground. Installed in 1974, the cars were either older running, used or junk cars β€” together spanning the successive generations of the car line β€” and the defining evolution of their tailfins (from Wikipedia).

Our model shows only 3 but you can certainly print it several times. You can see the progression of the tail fin in our 3 junk caddies!

MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this model to life as a homage to all the people of Amarillo. This model was designed from scratch completely in Tinkercad, no scans or repurposed models, so it's pristine clean for 3D printing! Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture and education!

3D printing settings

Easy to print,  you may use supports under the wheels, but they are not necessary, depending on your cooling and fan settings. If unsupported, they still look fine as the slight misprints help the "ruined" look.

The clay print photos is without supports. The color print photos used supports, and is split in Prusaslicer to allow each part to be printed separately in colors.
