DESCRIPTION

The main display is based on NFS Underground 2 Career mode garage. Since the original in game garage is fairly plain, I've added more banner/posters to make it looks more lived-in.

ASSEMBLY 1 (NO UPGRADES)

The car is just placed on top of the turntable.

Check out my assembly video to give you a better idea on how the build suppose to go: 

*Files used in these steps are found in "Turntable" folder. *

Step 1: Base Build
Print the following base and flat base:

• Back.STL
• Front.STL
• Side.STL (x2 required)

Alternate version for easy bolt locking:
- BackV2 - Short Bolts Compatible.STL
- FrontV2 - Short Bolts Compatible.STL

Additional parts:
- 8x M2.5x8 bolts will be required to secure the base.

The back piece is interchangeable with the front if you prefer to have a window at the back too.

Step 2: Turntable Build

Print the following to build the turntable:

• BaseClip.STL
• GearsHolderV2.STL
• MotorBase.STL
• MotorClip.STL
• MotorLockV2.STL
• spur_involute.STL

SpurClip2.STL

worm_involute.STL

WormBearingCap1Side.STL

WormBearingCapOtherSide.STL

Additional parts:
- 2x M2.5x6 bolts
- 2x M2.5x8 bolts
- 8x M2.5x8 screws
- DC motor with angled output, commonly for robotics I think, picture: https://i.imgur.com/XwKjYD5.jpg
- Pulse Wave Module for controlling the motor speed.

First print "MotorBase.STL", this is where the turntable and motors will be secured on it. Print "MotorLockV2.STL" and "GearsHolderV2.STL" next, these are motor holders and turntable gears holder.

Secure the motor holder on to the motor base byt bolting it. Gears holder will need to slide into the gap provided then bolt on to it with "BaseClip.STL".

The gears will fit nicely on the gears holder and slide the motor into the worm gear hole provided then slide the motor into the motor lock.

Lastly, secure the gears using the "WormBearingCap1Side.STL" and "WormBearingCapOtherSide.STL" on the worm gear. Secure "SpurClip2.STL" on the spur gear then lock "MotorClip.STL" to the motor holder.

When everything is secured, put the assembly into the base. It is recommended to glue/tape the motor base to the base built previously.

Step 3: Turntable Top Build

Print the following to complete the turntable:
- TurTableKey.STL (x2 required)
- TurTablePlate.STL
- TurTableTop - UDG2.STL
- Pin.STL
- TopCover3 - Floor.STL

Slide the turntable plate, "TurTablePlate.STL" on to the spur gear then push the pin to secure the position of the turntable plate to the spur gear.

Next, place "TopCover3 - Floor.STL" on the base then slide "TurTableTop - UDG2.STL" in the hexagon holes provided on the "TurTablePlate.STL". Now slide in "TurTableKey.STL" under "TopCover3 - Floor.STL" to lock "TurTableTop - UDG2.STL" to "TurTablePlate.STL".

Step 4: Garage Build

Files are found in "GarageParts" folder

Print the following parts to assemble the garage:
- Main Wall.STL
- WallLeft.STL
- WallRight.STL

Print the following parts to assemble the roof:

There are 2 variants of roof available, No LED variant and LED variant, for LED variant print the following parts:
- Ceiling - LED Variant.STL
- Roof - LED Variant.STL
- RoofCover - LED Variant.STL

For no LED variant print the following parts:
- Roof - No LED Variant.STL

Print the 3 walls listed above then place the main wall at the back of the turntable. Slide both the side walls into the slit provided on the main wall piece. After that, fit the roof on to the walls. If you printed the LED variant, slide the ceiling on to the roof piece then close it with the roof cover.

Step 4: Interior Props & Cover (Optional)

All the interior props are optional, they are made to fill the room with more items and make it feel more lived-in.

There is 2 PDF files that includes all the banner/poster I use for this build, there are more posters in it than I used in my build. The 2 sizes are scaled for different paper size.

The covers are meant to close the hole around the base from gathering dust. Mine has an additional PVC sheet tape on them.

ASSEMBLY 2 (PRINTABLES CLUBS EXCLUSIVE UPGRADES)

Check out my assembly video to give you a better idea on how the build suppose to go: 

Files used in these steps are found in "Upgrades" folder.

Step 1: Swap Out The Turntable Top

Swap out the original turntable top with the new lowered edition. The lower edition allow the car to easily roll on to the turntable.

You can either dismantle most of the walls to remove or try squeeze your fingers to remove the locks.

Step 2: Swap Out The Main Wall

Swap the new main wall found in "Garage Parts" folder. Print the following files:
- Main Wall - Garage Door.STL
- PatchCabinet.STL
- DoorFrame.STL
- FakeDoorV2 - for PatchCabinet.STL

The new shelf found in the folder is optional print.

Step 3: Base Extension Build

Print the file in "Base" folder, this is the new back base for the turntable, includes 4 additional holes to secure the extention.

After that, print the files found in "ExtensionBase" folder.
- Floor.STL
- MirrorRightWall.STL
- RightWall.STL

The 3 files in it are the floor of the extended garage and the legs connecting to the original base. You will need 4 M2.5 bolts to secure it to the turntable.

Step 4: Garage Door

Print the following files:
- Guide - V3 - Extended.STL
- GarageDoor.STL

The guides will need to be printed twice and it will be slot on to the extenstion floors. The garage door will be bent and fit into the guide rail.

Step 5: Extension Garage Walls

Print all files found in "ExtensionWalls"
- Connector Back Wall.STL
- Connector Side Wall - Right.STL
- Connector Side Wall.STL

All 3 walls will slide into the gap provided on the floor file but hold the back wall for now.

Step 6: Build the Car Pusher

Print all files in the folder "CarPusher"
- CarPusherV7 - P4.STL
- CarPusherV8 - P1.STL
- CarPusherV8 - P2.STL
- CarPusherV8 - P3.STL

After building the car pusher, slide the back wall into the floor.

Step 6: Roof and LED Holder

Print all files in "Roof&LEDHolder"
- Back - Connector Roof.STL
- LED Holder Lock.STL
- LED Holder.STL

The LED holder will be slotted through the hole provided by the side wall and the lock will be slotted through the hole at the other side of the wall to secure it.

The roof will just slide on to the walls.
