If you’re into 3D printable stuff, or into remote control cars, then the OpenRC Project is for you. A gentleman in Sweden named Daniel Nore is sharing his progress on a 3D-printed Truggy, as well as sharing the recipe with the OpenRC Project group that he created. A truggy is an off-road vehicle, in case you weren’t sure. The cost of 3D printers are dropping both for at-home use and enterprise, so it’s a very real possibility that consumers all over the world could soon have these devices in their living rooms. Crazier things have happened. We’ve seen 3D printed iPhone docks, violins, pottery and even a robotic hand for a child. If you can print out your very own customized remote control car with one, count me in. While not all of the parts are printable, such as the wheels, for really die-hard remote control car fans, those are parts that they probably have sitting around in the garage already. Here’s a video that Nore uploaded today that showssome of the schematics behind the parts, and the actual 3D printing process using one of those fancy MakerBot Replicators: The project has come a long way in the past few months, as here’s a video of an earlier model breaking down: I want one. While this isn’t the only 3D-printed remote control car out there, the advantage here is that you can follow the progress of the project on Google+ and join the discussion. If you’re ready to print one out, go here.
