Monster Truck Pumpkin Eater Jacko Lantern

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater Monster Truck!

These should fit and roll down on Hot Wheels double tracks.

Our whole huge tribe of kids love these things, and they're decently durable and hold up even when using all PLA. This is the Pumpkin Eater Truck version of Monster Truck with a raised pumpkin on the hood, and a seperate printable color pumpkin that connect in the bed of the monster truck.

Here are some details that you should take note on:

Make sure your printer plate is clean and sticks well for builds.

Plate 1: Monster Truck Body: No supports or Brim are needed.

Plate 2: Truck Bed Pumpkin No supports needed.

Plate 3: Rims & Axles: No supports or brim should be needed for either of these. I changed the rims to allow them to slide in and then be popped into place on the tire real nice. This also allows you to stick a small Phillips in the back end and pop the rims right off without issue.

Plate 4: Suspension: No supports or brim needed for these. These are the only thing I haven't modified yet.

Plate 5: Left and Right Side Tires: No supports or brim needed with these. The original only had one direction tread for all four wheels making one side point in one direction and the other side in the reverse direction. Now all 4 wheel tread will point in the same direction, only if you decide put them on the right way of course. You can print these in TPU but they work with PLA perfectly.

How to build:

It's easy to build, but will require some finesse and a little patience and muscle.

Put both suspension pieces together flat side, and squeeze it into the rectangle hole under the monster truck while keeping both pieces as evenly together as possible, push the left side corner all the way in first, then bring the right side corner up in and apply a lot of pressure to pop them in. If you just cant get it in(that's what she said), then pull the left side back out, and try putting the right side in first and then popping the left side in. Its a tight fit, but it will eventually pop all the way in.

Note: it is tight getting the suspension in, it will go in, and probably never come back out?

For the axles and tires you can push one axle side into the little tire hole first and then try to wedge the second one in, or just man up and push both axle pieces into the tire at once. It works both ways.

Now, before you go and put on that second tire don't forget to thread the axel through the suspension hole on the monster truck. After you got that, now take the opposite side tire and gently, not so gently, but very firmly push that tire onto the axle until it pops on. Now both tires should spin very nice.

You can pop the tires on and off, just be firm and gentle, the weakest point is the ends of the axle. just print extra axles in case your break one installing or your kids enjoy stomping on them.

Now, just slide the rims in and pop them on. You can't remove them from the same side you put them in on, you will tear the outer rim lips, but you can take the tire off and stick something down the hole and easily pop it off that way.

The pumpkin should slide right onto the 3 posts in the back of the truck, pumpkin face should be facing the tailgate of the truck.

Note: Some printers can make the rims snug, just line them into the hole, and push them in firmly in the center, avoid the outer rim lip.

That's it! You can paint it, toss on some lettering or numbers and it will look dope!

If you run into any problems or issues print file related let me know first before you rate bad, if given the opportunity I will try to help you figure out a solution, we have printed a lot of these on many different printers with little to no issues.

Thanks and enjoy!
