10/12/23 UPDATE: garage bays are now sloped.  Cars should not roll out so easily now.

Portable garage for Matchbox-sized cars.  The two halves close hinge open for play or lock together for storage/transport.  The top has an integrated bar for carrying.  

You'll need to print:

  • 2x garage_half.stl
    • I used PLA, but other filaments would work
    • Print with open sides facing up
    • 25% infill
    • The carry handle has a ~6cm bridge.  My Prusa MK3S+ bridged this just fine with a 0.6mm nozzle.  If you use a 0.4mm nozzle, a little support might be required.
  • 1x hinge_pin.stl
    • 25% infill
    • Recommend PETG due to flexibility
  • 1x locking_pin.stl
    • 25% infill
    • Recommend PETG due to flexibility

Assembly:

  1. Align the garage halves
  2. Insert the hinge pin through one set of holes
  3. The garage can now swing open and shut
  4. The hinge pin is permanently attached

Transport

  1. Ensure the locking pin is not inserted
  2. Close the halves
  3. Insert the locking pin, orienting as shown in the pictures
  4. Ensure the locking arm snaps into place.  The locking pin should not fall out by itself
  5. Pick up the garage as shown in the pictures

Opening the garage

  1. Pull the locking pin's arm slightly away from the garage
  2. Pull the locking pin out
  3. Open the garage
  4. Re-insert the pin into the left side of the garage for storage as shown in the pictures
