1.

Buy & Download


3D Sets printing data

Choose a product in the e-shop. When purchased download print files right from this website, from the “My Account” section.
Then it is time to buy all non-printable parts on e-stores (links available in the Build Guide) and print filament.

2.

Print parts


on your own 3D printer

Print files are prepared in multiple ways:

  • gcodes for Prusa MK3/Mini printer
  • . 3mf files compatible with common slicers (PrusaSlicer, Cura, Simplify3D…)
  • .stl files for every part

In the Build Guide you will find instructions on when you will need which parts set, so you can start building after a few first prints! Your printer can print other parts needed for the next steps when you are assembling parts printed previously. Smooth workflow!

3.

Assemble parts


following the Build Guide

Build Guide will lead you through the building process. These instructions are available online and are updated regularly. Instructions are based on pictures mostly, showing the building process as a step-by.step procedure.

  • “When you hold it in your hands, you feel like this is a machine that can drive through anything”

    “3D Sets offers a selection of premium-quality off-road car models, which can be further enhanced with various accessories and upgrades. When you purchase one of the models from 3Dsets.com, you’re getting not only the STL files, but also pre-sliced G-Codes ready to be printed on the Original Prusa i3 MK3/S, along with a perfectly laid-out step-by-step guide and, of course, a shopping list.”

    Prusa Research

  • “3D Sets offers a complete package”

    “3D Sets offers a complete package, including the 3D printable model and instructions on how most effectively print and build your car with references and links where to get non-printable parts and 3D printing materials to make the building as efficient as possible.

  • “The final results look stunning”

    “Since each of the vehicles offered by 3D Sets has many 3D printed components, it’ll take you some time to 3D print it all. However, the final results look stunning. Because these models are specifically made for 3D printing and there are some nice details involved, making the RC cars feel as close to the real things as possible.”

    All3DP

  • “The car’s gear box to me was the most amazing part of the build”

    “Well, if you want a super well designed, well though out model with meticulous detail with 225 different printed pieces and 450 screws, and you’re going to love the process of building it, and then you want to end up with a model that has awesome grip and traction and ability to climb over obstacles but NOT something super fast, and if you want something that is highly customizable and something you’ll be able to work on and tinker with and keep improving then this is the model for you!”

Product details

Easy to Assemble

To build the model you only need some basic tools such as a screwdriver, a sharp knife, soldering iron and most importantly – a good mood.

Cheap and fast repairs

Did you break something? Don’t worry, you’ll have a reprinted spare part in no time. Then loosen a few screws and replace the damaged parts. And – drive again immediately!

3d print maximum, buy minimum

“Don’t buy parts – just print them, nearly all!” You print most parts starting with bodywork, complete chassis and even cardan joints and gearbox. Buy just motor, radio control electronics, tires and shocks/springs – and you are ready for ride.

Step-by-step User Guide

Comprehensive Build Guide is available for free to anyone – lets go through before you buy the model. Build Guide include a complete bill of materials and links for online stores, when you can purchase non-printable parts.

“Build when you print” – you get not only the ready-made print plates but also the time-effective print sequence, so you can continue assembling while you printing and do not need to wait for the part you need.

Build Guide available here
List of non-printable parts is here
What 3d print data I will get?

You don’t get the usual clutter of .stl parts, we prepared:

  • gcodes compatible with Original Prusa MK3 printers
  • printing assemblies in .3mf files (can be opened in Prusa Slicer, Cura, Simplify 3D)
  • standalone parts in .stl files

 If you have Original Prusa MK3, you can print right from the gcodes, if you have another printer, just load .3mf files in slicing software and generate you own gcode. Or make put together parts you wish using common .stl files.

What you will need:
  • any 20 x 20 cm 3D printer, Prusa i3 recommended
  • 2,75 kg of filament needed for all parts, PLA or PET. Preferably 2 kg of black and 0,75 of any color (body of the car)
  • bring your own motor/speed controller, servo and battery
  • basic soldering equipment
  • screws and nuts
  • set of bearings
  • set of rubber tires and shocks

A car or a scale copy can be 3D printed

Passionate love of a part of the population for cars gets a new level of realization: if it is not possible to buy a coveted model, now it has become possible to print it on a 3D printer. Moreover, there are cases of printing both on a collection scale and on a scale of 1: 1.

This could have been expected for a long time, and finally: the first advertisements for the sale of models-copies of cars in the form of ... files appeared on the Internet. By paying a certain amount of money, the buyer gets the right to download a file, which, after being loaded into a 3D printer, allows you to start printing a small car.

In the photo: The quality of the plastic that the 3D printer produces depends on the type of printer and its settings

It can be either a solid product or a set of parts for self-assembly - as in the case that attracted the attention of Avto24 journalists in one of the social networks. True, for this you need to have this very 3D printer at hand, but in big cities these devices appear in an increasing number of enterprises, offices and households.

It is especially interesting that having a digitized virtual car model, you can increase or decrease it simply in the program, and print a copy for yourself in the desired scale: purely automotive 1/43, aviation 1/72, familiar to army equipment 1/35, desktop 1 /24 and the like. True, here something depends on the type and qualities of the printer, as well as on the characteristics of the file.

The modern 3D printer is becoming more and more affordable, in some countries it is almost a household item

Looking into the near future, we can predict that there will be many more such proposals. Now the spread of 3D printing technology in everyday life limits not only the number of 3D printers, but also 3D scanners.

After all, in order to get a digital model of an object - the same car model - you need to take it somewhere in a digitized form. The easiest way is to scan the object with a 3D scanner. True, you also need to have a sample model ... So, probably, we need to wait for the spread of some other technology that could turn 2D images into a three-dimensional format - ordinary photographs and drawings.

Printed models can be painted - just like self-gluing models we know from childhood

On the other hand, what prevents a real car from being scanned in 3D? Is that the inaccessibility of a large scanner. But this is today, and who knows, maybe tomorrow it will be replaced by a digital camera?

After certain types of printer, the details look like this - technical fragments - “sprues” must be removed manually

There is another nuance that can stand in the way of the mass printing of large-scale copies of cars at home: the legal side of things. Experienced collectors know that on the packaging of scale models sometimes there is a permission from the automaker who owns the brand of the prototype car: they say that the model was produced under the official permission of the company. What if the giants of the global automotive industry will provide a license to print their prototypes only to selected firms?

3D printing technology is mastered by master copyists not only in the automotive industry, but also in other areas of modeling

In a word, with the spread of 3D printing technologies in the automotive and near-automotive world, a lot of new and interesting things await us.
