This is not the greatest toy vehicle in the world, this is just a tribute.
A tribute to that genius design, which was so brilliant and simple that it got reissued and repainted in every color possible.
It was the good guy’s car at first, then the bad guy’s car, and even a police car and a racing car.
It was copied, remolded and bootlegged all over the world.
It travelled through imaginary deserts, snowfields, forests and cities and it made thousands (if not millions) of kids happy around the world.
The RTsystem
Thanks to the feedback from previous models, I created the ultimate 3D printable, tolerance-proof, and tunable articulation system that will be forward compatible.
This new RTsystem prints without supports, lets no hidden screws after assembly (just like in the Vraptor model), and has only 3 screws per RTculation (just like in the Hiss Mech model). It combines the best of both worlds so you can tune the tightness in every movement of the build at any time without any disassemble whatsoever. Even the RTs that are placed in intricate places are reachable after the build is complete.
Here’s a couple of clarifications for those new in printing my kits. The tolerance-proof feature means you can forget about your printer’s fine tuning and tolerances (like extrusion width and wall thickness micro-measures), and the tunable articulations will also make your life easier because you’ll be able to achieve all kinds of crazy poses without worrying about joints not fitting or being too loose, they will always work perfectly!
The kit
You’ll get a 3D printable kit containing the following:
- The mech body’s base and articulations
- A ton of guns! (new ones and some from my previous mechs)
- Two different cockpit options (vamp and stinger style)
- Two different leg options
- An instruction manual with printing and assembly directions, which includes the hardware list and links to buy them online
- Files pre-arranged by color for easier drag and slice
- Bambu files for even easier print
- Individual files of each piece too, just in case
- My explicit consent to sell 3D-printed copies (not the files themselves) assembled or unassembled
The 3D printing experience
- You’ll print all the pieces 100% without supports (amazing, huh?)
- Every piece fits on an Ender 3 printer
- You can absolutely use PLA Plus (no need of ABS or PETG, even though you can)
Campaign
As soon as the campaign goal is reached, all backers get charged and receive the 3D printing files and the assembly manual.
Prices remain the same for 60 days. After that, the campaign remains open indefinitely as an online store and newcomers get the files as soon as they contribute, but at a higher price. If the goal is not reached within 60 days, no one gets charged and no files are sent.
Upon the campaign success,
the files will be sent to the email you registered in
your PayPal account. If you would like to
receive them at a different email address, please let me know.
