So a few weeks a go a guy by the name of Warren Clark asked me if he could make a 3d model of my intamin wheel assemble that I rendered, with a 3d printer. So I said sure it sounds like a fun project to work on together. Then I started breaking my wheel assemble model into pieces so it would be easier to print. It was a lot of back and forth to get it right, but he got the wheel assembly printed and put together, and it came out great. So then Warren saw a 3d rendering of a top thrill dragster car that I and my friend Camiel Bilser of Coaster labs worked on together a few months back and asked if he could use the model to print. Camiel said yes and so i went back to sending files back to Warren. I thought it would be better to just print the front car so once again I started breaking the model down part by part to get it ready to print. It was a lot of work but we got it to work out so now is the fun time putting it all together so in this post I will keep you update with how it goes.
