Peugeot 3008 1:24

When making a few print in place / no support toy cars here and here I realized that I could also make a model based on my 3008 body design with a better accuracy. 

1:24 is the ideal scale to keep most of the features visible while keeping the main body as a single part.

I also scaled down the rims + tires I used on my RC car 3008 model. So this model also gets the same Michelin winter tire tread profile.

Printing tips:

I'm providing the Prusa MK3S print files. 

If you own a different printer or wish to do your own setup you need to take into account that the spindles need to be strong because we need the tip to flex without breaking. I have oriented them so that when the body is tilted at an ideal angle to get a nice print and reduced supports, the spindles are horizontal and will flex along the perimeters (and not the layers !)

So basically you'll need to keep that angle.

I've used snug support because it allowed me to use a lower layer height for the top of the model (starting a 143.5 mm); it makes the grill look better with a minimal increase of print time.

An alternative could be to use 0.15 for the whole body with organic supports (if you want the details and print time is not an issue for you)

The rims print with a little support in the middle. I've increase the standard distance of support to the part at 100% to ease supports removal.

For the tires you need to protect your build plate with paper craft glue as usual.
