3D Printed Mario Kart Shell R/C Cars: Death Stare Not Included

Back in 2011, we featured Michael Curry’s Mario Kart-inspired remote-controlled cars. He has since uploaded the improved 3D files along with the instructions and the parts list for the cars on Thingiverse. Maker Kart, here we come!

Aside from the 3D printed parts, you’ll need to buy other parts such as a DC motor, a micro servo and skateboard bearings. You’ll also need the tires and front suspension of the New Bright Ram 1500 Model 2424 RC Car. I found it online for $35 (USD) but Michael says you can get it for $13-$15 at Wal-Mart or Target.

Keep a few Stars and Bullet Bills around and head to Michael’s Thingiverse page to download the files, instructions and parts list.

The World’s Second Coolest Grandpa Made This Death Star Fire Pit

If you want to be a cool granddad, make cool stuff for your grandchildren. Mine made me a waxed Captain America shield that protected me from water balloons, thrown dirt clods, and many other projectiles, as well as a tree house, and a ton of other stuff that kids love. Moreover, he’s more or less a Clint Eastwood character; when I went to visit him shortly after his 87th birthday he was climbing a tree while one-handing a running chainsaw upon my arrival. As such, the titles of “World’s Coolest Granddad” is taken.
