Flexible Custom Hot Wheels Track

When printed from a flexible or soft material (like petg, PolyTerra pla, or tpu) this track piece can be bent into any shape you desire. I used Polymakers PolyTerra, as it is way softer than regular pla, so it's easy to bend quite far, but will not perfectly snap back to its original shape. 

This model is lighter than the original, and therefore way cheaper. Its only downside is that you have to print it vertically, or use a lot of support (which I haven't tried). 

The model is chamfered at the bottop to allow for a smooth connection to 40 degree bank pieces and turns.

Connector:

PLA works well enough with some trial and error, but PETG is way more durable and easier to use.

Insert them into the slots by putting one corner in the slot, and then pushing the other corner inwards. (see original model)

You can remove them by pulling straight, but off-center. 

It is easier to remove connectors by inserting a screwdriver through the hole and pulling, but this is only necessary when printed in PLA.

To connect two pieces of track together simply insert the connector in one of them, and then fit the other onto it at an angle. 

Slicing settings (Prusaslicer, optional):

0.1 mm Layer height

0.2 mm first layer

2 perimeters

10% support cubic infill

Combine infill every 3 layers

Brim is optional, but recommended to prevent corners lifting
