Let's get rollin'! This Parts Pack allows you to enhance your Suzuki Carry Building Model with rolling wheels, an easy-to-print grille, dual-color headlights, and more!

 

First off, we've got the Axle Holders and the Axle. These holders fit/glue into the existing rectangular holes on the bottom of the chassis (6x6 chassis included!). The chassis actually has two differently-sized rectangles, which is why there's two differently sized axle holders.

As you can see, the larger rectangle is on the left, and the smaller rectangle is on the right. Depending on your printer's tolerances, the holders will either press-fit into place, or you may have to use some glue. There's also a V1 or V2 version. The V2 version has less clearance between the wheel and the holder, meaning you may run into some troubles with the wheels spinning. If you're afraid of this happening, then you can use the V1 holders.

Oh, and the axle is pretty straight forward. Just print it horizontally, on its side. If you try printing it vertically, then you could run into some issues since printing tall, thin objects tends to not work out well.

I recommend using the Wheel Hub and Tire from the Every Part Separated remix of the Suzuki Carry. You can print the tire in TPU and the hub in PLA, trust me, it works GREAT! Rolls excellently on carpet/couch, and decently on hard surfaces.

 

There's also some bonus parts included in this posting! I found myself dissatisfied with the headlights included in the Every Part Separated remix, because they were off-center. So, I re-modelled some headlights that fit very well! You can perform a color-change midway through to create a dual-colored headlight! 

 

Another dissatisfaction I had with the Remix was the grille. The original grille file was simply some loose panels that would have been very hard to glue in. So, I also modelled a grill that will fit, provided you print it with elephant's foot compensation, or print it upside-down.

 

Finally, we've got a combination of the front bullbar and the bumper. This allows you to easily print/glue it to the cab in a different color. The recommended orientation is to print it upside-down, with the bar part facing downwards. You know what, I think it's better if I just show you:

There we go, see? This will assure that all parts of the bar print well without any defects.

 

Alright, I do believe that's all for this explanation. Now, go forth and print!
