I am a fan of the Aptera Autocycle, and the company's goals. So since I am still in college and unable to buy one. I decided to print one out to demonstrate why I like this car.

I freshly started into the hobby of 3d printing during this summer (2024).

Modified the original model provided by Aptera Motors, to be easier to print on my first and only printer; the ‘Anycubic Mega S’. I printed this model out in ‘Ender White PLA’ (EN-PLA White). I used organic supports during the print.

On the ‘Prusa MK4’ it was a 1 hour and 28 minute print. I do not own this printer, my college's free printing service allowed me to print it in ‘Prusament PLA Galaxy Silver’ on their printer.

I may add a photo of the print in ‘Prusament PLA Galaxy Silver’ from the MK4.

Photo of real car is from aptera.us media room.
