3D Print Your Own Circuit Truck
Create a truck that actually drives using a simple battery circuit! The tutorial is broken down into two parts, so you can choose whether you want to only design the truck base (the part necessary for it to run) or whether you also want to add a customized cab and trailer. You can print several and race them against each other. The tutorial shows you step-by-step how to design, slice, print and wire your truck.
