Noble M400. (m12 w/out side scoops is mostly also in the blender file, no stl at the moment).
Credit where due, I started with this sketchup drawing, and did a whole lot of tweaking to make it mostly printable (without interior)

For my print, I bought small RC car rods so the wheels can turn a little, but you can also probably glue them on.

This is far from a perfect 3d model at the moment, but i wanted to move on, it’s “good enough” =)
Known issues:
- the main body is not manifold, i had to fix a lot of stuff but there’s still problems left. as such, the hole for the rod doesn’t print through in Cura, i wound up drilling it out with a narrow drill bit.
- I had to smooth out a lot of stuff but neglected to properly round out the wheel wells. if you want the wheels to turn there isn’t enough clearance. i didn’t realize this til after the print. I used a dremel to round them out after the fact so i didn’t go back to fix the model. Terrible, i know.
- the exhaust tips have a hard time printing out, i probably should separate these out into cylinders to glue on later.
- the bottom tray towards the exhaust isn’t properly flat, the slope is uneven on the bottom.
- my painting skills need work. =P
