Mini Plane Ride

I got a few motors the other day and I made a tiny ride for my mini city. This is how I made it. If you have any ideas of what I can add into my city, I am open for suggestions if you would like to put those ideas into the comments.

Body of Ride

Make a cylinder at 98mm by 98mm by 1mm. Then make a room for the motor to go in. Now align the two pieces together and that piece is done.

Beams

This step you will need a box sized at 5mm by 80mm by 2mm. Then rotate it to make as many ride things this project will have (From 2-Infinity). In the very center of this you will need a whole to put the motor through.

Now you can design a plane or something that your mini people can ride in. Whatever you decide for your ride, please post what you did in the comments below.

Take your parts and export them to a slicing software. Now print your parts. They should only take about two hours to print.

Start Build

Start laying out your parts. You should have; 6 printed parts, wires, motor, motor holder, battery holder, vehicles/people, heat shrink, hot glue, a switch, a paper clip, and a soldering iron.

Build Part 1

Get your battery holder out and cut and splice the red wire in the middle. Attach the switch to the red wire where you cut it.

Build Part 2

Now solder the red and black wires onto the motor.

Put the motor in the motor holder. Put the motor where it is going to be and hot glue it into place.

Build Part 4

Get the paperclip and cut it to about 3cm long. Put one end of the paperclip in a airplane and the other end on the beam as shown in the pics above.

Build Part 5

If the whole that goes on the motor is to big, get paint out and put a bit of paint in the whole to make it a bit smaller.

Ta-Da!

Now put the pieces together and you are done. Sorry about all of the people laying on the ground in the pic.
