I work a paper rout with the dream of buying my first Hobby Grade RC Car, the RC-10T. Most of the parts require supports.Īll of the holes are pre-treaded in the STL file, but it is still good to have an m3 tap available to clean up any threads. You can purchase our 3D print designs, STL files and products. The benefit of this two cars in one is that you get to choose your own path: if you're a Delorean DMC-12 fan, then you can build that and have an accurate recreation of this iconic car, and if you want the Time Machine, then you add the Time Machine parts and relive your childhood fantasies of driving the car that defined a generation.īuilding this model is definitely expert level. Our first step is to build the DMC-12-bumpers and all, then we will attach the Time Machine parts to make the Back to the Future Time Machine RC car.
#Rc car 3d print files movie#
The Back to the Future Time Machine was based on a 1982 Delorean DMC-12, and just like the movie car my RC car is based on a DMC-12 RC car. Because of Quranatine, I decided to finish it to release it in this competition so it can put a smile on people's faces. I started converting the car in 2019, but never finished it. All of that equals multiple components and multiple 3d printed parts so that we create as lifelike a Delorean as we can. I'm also big about detail (especially if you have checked out my previous projects of motorcycles and race cars). Renderings can be solid blocks that are only nice on the outside, bringing the Delorean to real life would require gutting the model and developing multiple components that had to work and exists near each other while also factoring in the body roll and bump of suspension parts. That was especially challenging being that without the doors opening, that would eliminate the problems with the thin A-pillars, but now you have a situation where those thin A-pillars will have to support the weight of the wheels and the force of doors slamming down. In a real car at normal size, these areas could be strong-especially for the Delorean made out of stainless steel they could be thin, but at 1:10 the size, these areas would be thin and needed an integrated roll cage to thicken and strengthen the thin design of these pillars.Īlso you cannot make a Delorean without making its gull-wing doors functional. Some of the challenges to make a Delorean RC car was that a passenger car's shape in 3D printing would require fine parts around the door sills and window areas. Although I always had an idea to transform the car and make it a 3D printed car.
It was a hit and I received many comments and requests to use the car for company projects. I released renderings and CAD design of the car in 2017.
Back in 2017 I felt that we were actually living in Back to The Future II with Biff Tanner.
