About this 3D model
Here it is! The Typical Pickup Body, (MyRCCar TPB) from now on... It is a multipart 1/10 RC car body, in which parts has been separated so you can print them with different materials and colors.Some parts are screwed to each other, while others must be glued. Here you have a few related videos, take a look! There are 3 main parts which compose the most part of the body. They are the Front, the Cab and the Bed part. There are 2 different beds you can choose. With the sorter one you will have a 290mm wheelbase body, while with the longer one you will have 310mm wheelbase. The design of these three main parts allow to print them with minimal or no supports.

I only shared the 3 main parts and a few more, and for getting the rest of the parts you needed to upload your make of the 3 main parts.After letting those people access the rest of the parts, just a few updated their make with new photos including those new parts. Now you can just buy it for a low price instead of that "trick or treat"... Printing Tips for Main Parts This project can be printed in a 200x200x200mm build volume. The 310mm bed part is 207mm long, so you will need taller build volume in your 3d printer. Simple and cheap FDM printers should be able to print this.Take a look to the Cab part finishing printing in the next video. The orientation of the parts suggested in the file for the main parts is the one you need if you want to minimize the use of supports and take advantage of the design. Is the way you can expect similar results to my build. This model involves many grams of material but also many hours of slicing, printing and overwatching your printer. I suggest you to print the main parts in 0.2mm layers if you don't want it to take forever :S and use something between 0.4 and 0.5 mm for your perimeter thickness. Two perimeters walls, 5 top bottom layers, 15% infill and for the speeds something like 70mm/s /50%outer /80%infill /80%supports. As you can see the main parts are provided with or without pre-made supports. I can't warranty the correct work of the pre-made supports, but if you print them with 1 perimeter, 3 bottom and 3 top layers, 0% infill you won't waste much material and they will probably work as did for me. You must separate the meshes in your slicer once imported specially for the BED part, as it has a special extra part (I could not make the boolean correctly). The support parts in FRONT and CAB, the same than the rear windows ones can be correctly printed without separating them, but the bed one is mandatory. Remember you can use something like "Horizontal expansion" or "Horizontal Size Compensation" to make the walls of the BED part thicker if you need to. I use a negative -0.02mm horizontal expansion to compensate the size of holes and help with tolerances normally. Times and Weights With the previous parameters, I took near 30 hours to me to print the 3 main parts. They will weight about 100g for the front and the bed ones and 170g for the cab part. Detail Parts As you can see in the photos, I have used a quite simple color palete... The main body color, ugly red in my build, grey or silver and black for the rest of the parts. I also use transparent PLA fo light covers and very important, TPU plastic for RearViews, Bumper or anti-roll bars and side-platforms. I print this parts normally slower than the big ones. Using also 0.1mm layer height for some of them like light covers or radiator. The tricky radiator You need to be able in your slicer of "separate meshes" and using different process to print different meshes. Simplif3D does this correctly. So the idea is you separate the meshes in the radiator in your slicer. From there, you create 2 different process to print the whole part. The first one without Top/Bottom layers and very thin perimeter. The idea is the infill you select will be what you see in the back of the radiator. For the second mesh in the file, the top one, use a more normal printing process, if you can with 0.1mm layer height. This parts should be made over the infill the other process is doing simultaneously. I hope you get it :) EXTRA Parts!!! You are a lucky guy, because this time I'm also including the "Extras" I published in a separate publication in the past. Previously, you had to upload and update your make of all the previous parts of the pickup. As you know, this is the counter-experiment... let's s
