This fully printable 1:6 snowmobile will bring you an incredible amount of performance while being incredibly tough, all the more featuring a killer look!
Everything was designed to be very easy to print with a FDM 3d printer and assemble at home. It was optimized to use as little material as possible, both on the machine as well as supports, to increase deep snow performance and reduce waste!
A zip file containing all of the instructions, photos and files needed to make this incredible snowmobile can be found after purchasing this item. (You will receive a downloadable link, not receive a physical machine when purchasing this item)
Every updates will be free in the future, you only purchase this item once. (Current version 1.9)
The parts were designed to be printed on a Prusa Mk3 printer or bigger. (250x220mm print volume)
If you have a minimum of 200x200 you will be able to print it as well, but the tunnel is cut in half and will likely have to be strengthened a bit to insure durability. (Good glue or better, a 3d pen goes a long way)
Less than 200x200 will likely not be big enough to print everything.
A video of assembly is available on YouTube :

You can also use the photo bank in the ZIP folder to help you assemble it and print parts.
Thanks for your support!
