The windup car is a project aimed at creating a children’s toy that is entirely 3d printable, and easily customizable. It is meant to allow children to work with 3d printers and get a head start on understanding new technologies. Not only does it feature a sturdy rubber band mechanism, but also a cam protruding off of the top, allowing for a linear motion component to be designed around as well. The cam can be used in the design of housings meant to bolt onto the outside of the toy. Measurements and parts are designed to be simple, so that children can easily create modifications for the car. This project was created for the Mechanical Engineering Design I (ME160) course at the University of New Mexico.
