PRINTING

Parts individually fit a 256 x 256 mm bed. Print floors flat, tabs/ribs up; support front-floor mounting shelves. Print seats and console upright on their bases. Print dash on its installed bottom and inspect overhangs. The one-piece wheel/column needs supports

Suggested starting layers: 0.20 mm.  I printed the floors in PETG and other parts in PLA

ASSEMBLY

Test-fit with battery and chassis installed. Check wiring, magnetic mounts, body-joint reliefs and rear posts. Position seats, bench, dash and console by looking through the windows before securing them. Trim the round dash end of the column to fit. Mount the interior to suitable body-side locations so it lifts off with the shell; universal mounting hardware is not included.

FINISHING

Tan and brown upholstery, dark control panels and black floors work well. Modeled seams, vents and ribs make painting guides. Painting is optional.

The dog, crates and cargo props in the photos are not included. Exterior mirrors are a separate project.

Share a make and include your body/chassis combination so others can compare fit!
