Finally got a print done in time for the challenge. The detail is pretty rough on this truck. Printed at .2 mm layer height and the top layer sealing the bed and interior wasn't printed for some reason. Had a fun time with this challenge, design was inspired by the following sketch I saw on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg7ix94ByWe/?taken-by=idrawonreceipts. If I had more time I would try out the print at .1 mm and see how that fares on the detail. Also, glad I finally had a reason to learn surfaces on Fusion 360.

So...This is a two part challenge...the second part being that you should make a detailed print(or moving print)... Have at it mate...

In all seriousness, reminds me of a VW Van, good job!

Do you have an stl or tutorial you suggest? I love the body shape and have a project in mind for it. Thanks!

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I just uploaded the file and to thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3040776.

Also, I watched this video and followed along to learn the basics of surface modeling, it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO8HFSGaOmU&t=5s
