Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 'Eleanor' Kit Card (known from 'gone in 60 seconds')

This model has been nominated for the Printables Awards 2024 in the category 'best 3D Model in Multi-Material Design'. Thank you for your votes!

Summary

This is a model of a Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 'Eleanor' in a kit / gift card style. Some characteristic details can be discovered. After printing, the model can be assembled with the help of integrated connectors. The wheels can be turned, but the car will not roll.

Versions

The complete set is available in a STL file for a one-color print. There are 3MF-files with predefined colors intended for users of AMS or MMU. Versions with and without racing stripes available. Otherwise, the chassis, rims and the tires must be printed separately.

The sets are also available with a complete chassis and with a separate front. Print the complete chassis if you have faith in your printer (overhangs at the front) ;-) if you are not sure, please print the set with the separate front.

Print

Print with 0.15 layer hight or lower to bring up the details. No supports are needed. Use 3 perimeters and 10% infill.

Post processing

The small struts can be removed really quickly and cleanly using a side cutter.

Assembly

The kit is easy to assemble. All parts fit together very well. Use some grease for the hole in the rim so that the wheel turns more easily. If a part should be loose, superglue can be used.

Dimensions

The fully assembled model has the following dimensions Height: 39 mm Depth: 139 mm Width: 56 mm

The complete kit card has the following dimensions when printed Height: 32 mm Depth: 140 mm Width: 99.8 mm

Scaling will work in a low range due to the tolerances.
