Description

How and why is someone on your car? You don't have time to speculate now, you have a race to win. Lets just hope they can hold on.

Included are two models of nondescript hitchhikers that should fit on either the left or right side (as designated in the file name) on the attachment points of the rear part of the r c model. They are each angled to avoid blocking the nearby clip, which is why there is a distinct left and right model. The models are also split in half along the horizontal plane to maximize the chance of a successful print and to reduce the amount of support material needed.

Recommended settings:

Layer height: 0.2 mm

Infill:                  At least 10%

Supports:        Yes

I'd rather you didn't. I would like my stuff to be my own, though if you make a print you could show that off.

Thanks for sharing Quadfrog. It would appear the hitchhiker has part of their leg missing. Also, the orientation of the pin to attach each hitchhiker would position them with the flat side up. Would it be possible to have a 2 piece hitchhiker so they they can be printed properly and the pin added afterwards to position the print bed side down?

You seem to be a little confused about what you are looking at. Each file of the two files contain only one model each that has been split into half. They are split down the horizontal plane, making a top and bottom half, to maximize the contact with the print bed (which reduces the risk of warping and print detachment for rounded or irregular models, such as these, and reduces the amount of support material needed for the print). The two parts of each model are intended to be combined into a single unit after printing, meaning there will be no flat side.
