Use this piece of track to smoothly transition from Custom Hot Wheels Track to real Hot Wheels track. I intentionally didn't add the half-circle that fits in modern Hot Wheels track to maintain compatibility with the older system. The gap shouldn't affect the car in any way. 

The old system by Hot Wheels also only had the small hole on one side of each track piece, so to make my system fully compatible I also added a version without pin. 

 

Don't forget to add supports under the Hot Wheels side!

 

Connector:

PLA works well enough with some trial and error, but PETG is way more durable and easier to use.

Insert them into the slots by putting one corner in the slot, and then pushing the other corner inwards. (see original model)

You can remove them by pulling straight, but off-center.

It is easier to remove connectors by inserting a screwdriver through the hole and pulling, but this is only necessary when printed in PLA.

To connect two pieces of track together simply insert the connector in one of them, and then fit the other onto it at an angle. 

 

Slicing settings (Prusaslicer, optional):

0.2 mm Layer height

2 perimeters

10% support cubic infill

Brim is optional, but recommended to prevent corners lifting
