The assembly of the 3D-printed balloon car serves as an educational tool for both teachers and students, facilitating the comprehension of concepts such as "energy conversion" and "Newton's 3rd law". Through this hands-on assembly process, learners gain practical insight into the principles of energy transformation and Newtonian mechanics, enhancing their understanding of scientific concepts tangibly and engagingly.
 

Construction:
To construct the car, gather essential components including a 3D printed car model (body.stl), four instances of 3D printed wheels (wheel.stl), barbecue skewers to serve as axles for wheel attachment, and a single balloon for propulsion. Utilizing any adhesive, preferably hot glue for optimal adherence, assemble the components into a cohesive unit, ensuring proper alignment and attachment. 


Materials needed: 
 

  • 1 x 3D printed car model (body.stl)
  • 4 x 3D printed wheels (wheel.stl)
  • Barbecue skewers (to serve as axles for connecting the wheels)
  • 1 x balloon
  • Adhesive (hot glue for example)
