Rivian Die-Cast Model Rock Stand - DIY - 3D Print

[archiboy]

Thx for sharing. Took the STL and scaled it to 31.25% and it fits the matchbox version almost perfectly (including the tire dents in the Maya model!).

Well damn...now I have to print yet another one for my desk at work.

I used Overture Rock PLA in the sediment colorway, which makes it vaguely look like Moab, though the transitions are a bit harsh. Thanks again for the model! How did you generate the rocks, btw? Part of me wants something similar, but with the rocks sloping toward the ground instead of the squared off look. Love it, and will go well with my 1:18 scale Alfa 4C on display.

Looks great. I used rocks I downloaded from www.polyhaven.com. Assembled them and cut off the sides.

Cool! Are you using a normal CAD app of some sort or Blender?

Original post stated he did the modeling ins Maya.

Thanks, I must've missed that detail.

I model in Maya. It's better suited for VFX work, but I've been using it for a while and am comfortable in it. You can use Blender as a cheaper alternative.

Not sure why there was such a difference, but printing it with your scaling didn't work for me and was much too big. I measured the wheelbase of the 1:20 version (173.5 mm) and the Matchbox (47.5 mm) and came up with 27.38% and it's damn near perfect.

Sidenote, I usually never have this problem, but this specific filament really seems to like peeling up / warping at the corners, 220C nozzle, 60C bed, and around 22C in the chamber. Guessing I need to actually bother doing a full calibration and tweaking the profile as it's not a built-in.

Those are nice ( both scale)
Y’all need to DM me $$$
Since a 3D printer is not in my future

I do a full calibration if I haven't printed in a couple of days. Things move with temp changes over time, and you need to calibrate.

That's weird. I came to the 31.25% since 1/64 is 31.25% of 1/20. It worked for my print. But you can see the major delta is the PETG defaults show the elevational contours on my print. Those don't show nearly as prominently on the 1:20 scale version.

I boosted you on Makerworld, this is perfect! Now the big question I have is where did you get the 3D model for the truck?! I has the same wheels my Launch Edition has and I'd love to print those for my 1:18!

I bought it a while ago:
