Vehicles 6” Scale Trouble Bubble

Fschuler · 05-28-2021, 12:37 AM

I posted this over on TFW a few weeks ago...probably makes more sense to post it here.

Anyway, I came up with a 6” scale 3D printable trouble bubble. It’s more or less just a scaled up version of the 80s toy. Have at it! You can download it for free from Thingiverse. I built a vacuum forming table to make the bubble. I still need a little practice with it, but it’s getting close. The bubble pictured was pulled from 0.03” polycarbonate sheet. I just got in some 1/16” PETG sheet and am hopeful it will provide more satisfactory results.

Thats sweet. I never had one of these as a kid. But This is really well done. Design, print quality... Really good. The bubble is ok. Doing see through plastic is always a bitch.
