3D Printing the Parts
The design looks best when printed with 4 colours, The used colours are are Orange, Black, Grey, White. Feel free to use your own colours, What colours do you like, Post your car photos in the Makes section.
All parts are printed with PLA. You need TPU for tyres and recommended for Side mirrors, they are more prone to breaking when printed with PLA.
Cura (5.0+) is the recommended slicer, Project files were saved with their recommended settings.
Some of the provided 3MF files have support blockers which may open as normal models in other slicers. You may have to manually assign them as support blockers.

- Lubrication is recommended for the gears.
