160mm Wheelbase Truck Chassis
Created today
Description
Base structure for the Moroccan Unity Day modular parade truck. Built to carry standard 6mm axle rods and accept top-deck cabin and cargo payloads.
This is a specific-fit frame, not a universal runner. Check the axle bore and mounting distances before committing filament:
- Axle Bores: 6.3mm teardrop channels, printed horizontally. Fits 6mm rod axles with 0.3mm clearance.
- Wheelbase: 160mm exactly.
- Deck Mounts: Eight 5.3mm bores spaced for the matching Unity Day cabin and cargo blocks (5mm locating pegs).
- Overall Footprint: 270mm x 105mm x 25mm.
Prints top-down or bottom-up depending on your preference for bridging, but the internal grid is fully pocketed to drop weight while keeping the deck rigid. Minimum wall thickness is locked at 2.5mm for an easy two-wall pass on a 0.4mm nozzle.

12mm Hex Parade Truck Wheel
A 70x25 mm solid front wheel designed to mate with a standard 12 mm RC hex drive. Built as a single rugged piece, it combines a deep-block tire tread with a solid structural hub to handle the weight of larger FDM parade and display builds. Fitment Specs Drive Interface: 12 mm standard RC hex (6 mm deep pocket) Axle Bore: 5.2 mm clearance hole Outer Dimensions: 70 mm OD × 25 mm width Printing: Flat on the hex face, no supports required.
9-Camion
Heavy-duty rear wheel designed for modular truck assemblies. Features an 84mm outer diameter with aggressive block treads and a deep-dish rim structure. Built to transfer high torque from a printed axle without slipping. Prints flat on the inner face. Diameter: 84mm (including treads) Width: 30mm (32mm at hub) Axle bore: 9mm hex socket (across corners) Mounting: Prints flat on the Z-axis, no supports required. Material: Designed for rigid filaments like PLA or PETG.

Model truck wheels usually snap at the hub or require a nest of supports just to print the rims. This one prints entirely flat on the bed, bridging cleanly across the inner rim recess, with treads chunky enough to actually grip rough surfaces instead of spinning out. Specifications Diameter: 80 mm Width: 30 mm Axle: 8 mm hex shaft Print orientation: Flat on its side (no supports needed)

Large vehicle prints warp, lift off the bed, or take days to finish. Splitting the chassis into smaller, hollowed quadrants stops the curling and lets the pieces finish quickly. This is the left-side foundation. Fit Details Overall Dimensions: 140 mm × 70 mm × 12 mm Wall Thickness: 3 mm perimeters and floors for rigid bridging Mating Pins: 5 mm diameter pins into 5.3 mm receiver holes for a clean press-fit Panel Mounts: Four 6.3 mm top sockets align the upper body elements
10-Camion
A rugged, 85mm rear-right truck wheel ready for hard use. The tire features deep, directional tread angled specifically for the right side of the vehicle, ensuring proper grip and a realistic mirrored stance compared to its left-side counterpart. Design Notes Dimensions: 85mm outer diameter, 35mm width. Mounting: Standard 6mm pass-through axle hole. Detailing: Deep recessed rim with a prominent center hub and six realistic lug nuts. Printability: Designed to print flat on its inner face with no supports required.
8-Camion
A truck missing one wheel is just a seesaw that scratches the floorboards. Stripped hex hubs or worn treads usually end a run early; this is the right-side replacement to get it rolling flat again. The tread channels are cut at a 20-degree angle to specifically mirror the left side, keeping the traction profile symmetrical. Fitment and Print Details Outer Diameter: 78 mm Width: 26 mm Drive Interface: Standard 12 mm RC hex socket (6 mm deep) Axle Clearance: 5.2 mm bore, clearing standard 5 mm axles. Printing: Drop it flat on the inner face (the hex side). No supports needed; the outer rim inset chamfers cleanly. Needs dense infill around the hub to prevent the hex from rounding out under torque.
