Mario Kart 8 Ladybug Kart Multi-part Assembly No AMS Required

Assembly Video:

Model Description:

The exterior design is inspired by the ladybug from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, employing the original game's color scheme. 3/100 scale.

Recommended Filaments:

Matte PLA: Red, Black, White, Yellow, Light Grey, Brown.

Refrain from using brands with excessive shrinkage or a tendency to stick. Matte finishes are recommended for superior aesthetics.

The colors used in the actual photographs are: Red, Black, Grey, White, Yellow, Desert Yellow.

Upon receiving the brown filament, I will conduct tests using PandaN's wood grain modifier on the brown sections to replicate the original material's texture.

The filaments used in the test photographs are all R3D's matte PLA (this is not an advertisement, I received no payment), exhibiting excellent stability. Avoid [redacted brand].

In colder regions, unenclosed printers may benefit from increased ambient temperature.

For enclosed printers, to achieve optimal print quality, avoid positioning the model near the door to prevent significant localized shrinkage.

Assembly Instructions:

Observe the height of the six grey decorative rings at the locations indicated. The shortest is near the front eyes; the longest is in the upper red body section. Misplacing rings, except the shortest, will have minimal impact.

For the black wing rings, the larger gap should face the rear of the vehicle. Ensure the wings are fully seated before securing with glue.

Assembly Sequence:

1. Assemble the chassis and its decorative rings, including the eyes;

2. Assemble the wheels and wings, excluding the chassis; avoid using glue on the wheels to ensure rotation. Glue is required for the wings.

3. Install the rear wheels (glue required). The front wheels require no glue; simply insert, ensuring correct left/right orientation.

4. Install the wings (glue required). Assembly complete.

Comparison with Standard Kart:

Length is comparable, but it is noticeably wider.
