Finger Scooter
Print Profile(1)

Description
Okay, so this was probably the most painful one to make in the series and I may wind up doing another one later on as there are a couple of things I would like to revisit, but this scooter works. May come up with new wheels though because those don't have much traction imo. This is a multi-step print, so here we go:
The first two steps involve the wheels. On the first plate they will print before the frame fully finishes. These will need to be removed. The first plate is designed to stop at the top of this section

This section should have a support blocker preventing supports from being printed there. This is important because one of the wheels will need to be inserted here. I did it like this because this gives the joint a more solid connection. There should be plenty of room for it to drop it and not get fused to the part. The other wheel gets places in the next build plate.

This is the same principle but this is meant to be connected to the front of the frame. Beyond that, it's normal assembly where the handle fits in clasp.

The assembly should look like this though

I relied on the constant downward force of the fingers btw, so you may want to use a tiny amount of glue for a more solid connection at this joint

Like I said, designing this one was painful. I'm at like 16 revisions, but it was a fun challenge and something I may revisit once I've got more knowledge. However, until next time. Enjoy!
Overall, I am very happy with the outcome, and I hope you are too. If you'd like to support me, consider checking out one of my Kindle books on Amazon. I've got FDM and Resin books, but I also have books on random stuff like compasses, better habit building, and DSLR cameras.
