Summary

This is a model of a Volkswagen Beetle Gen 1 / Käfer (VW 1300) in a kit card style.
After printing, the model can be assembled with the help of integrated connectors.
The wheels can be turned and the car may roll.

Versions

The complete set is available in a 3MF file for a one-color print.

There is a 3MF-file with predefined colors intended for users of a multicolor printer.
Otherwise, the chassis, rims and the tires must be printed separately.

Print

Print with 0.12 layer hight or lower to bring up the details.
No supports are needed (no matter what your slicer says!).
Use 2 perimeters and 10-15% infill.

Use a 0.2 mm nozzle for best results.
With a 0.4 mm nozzle, it may not be possible to print the finest details (door handles, wiper arms). Please be aware of this.

Post processing

The small struts can be removed really quickly and cleanly using a side cutter.

Assembly

The kit is easy to assemble. All parts fit together very well.
Use some grease for the hole in the rim so that the wheel turns more easily.
If a part should be loose, superglue can be used.

I hope you had as much fun printing and assembling it as I did :-)
