This remix takes the original model, cleans up its stlness, removes a small part of the back, adds a kickstand and most importantly - the wheels now rotate.
You will need:
black filament
grey filament
colour of your choice filament
2x Deep Groove Ball Bearings 6700ZZ Double-Shielded Thin Section Miniature Bearings 10x15x4mm (Amazon link)
CA glue
A couple of small clamps
A small hard surface to press items together on
The tolorances on this print are pretty tight, especially on the rear wheel.
You will need to sand and smooth / deburr parts of this print to make it fit due to your own printers tolorances.
All 3mf's are correctly scaled and have the supports and orientation on them, if you can't use the 3mf, i've included stl's too. The STL's are all at original scale so you'll need to reduce them all consistently to 1% in your slicer to fit the bearings.
Update! - There is a Prusaslicer compatible 3mf included (lightbike-p1-001.3mf) that should load correctly - tested in prusaslicer 2.5.0
There is a quick build video here: Tron Lightbike Build
And a long play version with chapters here: Tron Lightbike - Long play
- Trim the rear wheel bearing hole to fit the bearing, push the bearing into one half and then press on the second half of the wheel, ensure the bearing is central and evenly placed.
- take one engine body, one rear spoke and two spoke pegs, using a flat surface behind the part, press one of the pegs into the spoke to be flush, the peg should be on the flat side of the spoke
- press the spoke and pegs into the engine body with the raised side of the spoke pointing inward
- repeat part 2&3 for the other half
- take the larger peg and glue into one side of the engine
- insert the rear wheel onto one of the spokes
- glue the two sides of the engine together, apply clamping force.
- insert the rear axle
- glue a hub cap to each end of the axle.
- take the front spoke and press a bearing into it, the bearing hole will need to be widened as the rear wheel was, ensure the bearing is straight and not protruding from either side of the spoke
- using a file, widen the front wheel axle hole to allow the axle to be pressed through it.
- glue a hub onto one end of the axle and put on the inner wheel cover
- press the axle through a wheel with the hub on the outside, ensure the hubcap and inner cover are flush with the wheel
- push the wheel and axle assemply through the bearing, repeat the hub and cover glue up on this side.
- take the body sides and front wheel assembly, dry fit them together to ensure the two sides of the nose above the wheel close correctly, if the two body parts do not close, then you will need to file the spoke slot to allow the nose to close.
- glue in the support peg to the body, glue the front spoke into one side, and glue the body sides together. apply clamping force to the nose and main body ensuring the two sides do not have gaps
- take the body and engine assemblies and glue together, double checking the engine tail and body tail joins line up and the front spoke and engine align. clamp up
- glue and clamp on the windows
- clip over the kick stand
- drive around carpet while going “vrroooooooom”
