A year or two ago I was looking for a decent (and free) STL file for 3D printing a model Enyaq, and I couldn't really find anything that looked like it'd actually print well, or didn't cost too much. For some reason I thought I'd have another search today - and discovered that a couple of months ago, Skoda had uploaded some official models themselves!

It's in three parts, with separate wheels and tyres (so you can print the body in a coloured PLA, wheels in silver/dark grey and tyres in black or ideally black TPU). The 1:24 scale one is about 20 cm long by 9 cm wide. Sliced in Orca, it estimates about 7 hours total to print on my Creality Ender 3 KE. I'll see if I can print one over the weekend and report back.

SUPER ! I will order dark gray metallic PLA and print it, but for now only in half size, due to the long printing time.

Yeah, I've only got a light blue PLA, nothing close to Energy Blue (or even Race Blue). And I'll just print the wheels and tyres in black PLA as I don't have dark grey (or black TPU, only clear). I'll probably use the 1:43 as a test, then print a 1:24 one at the weekend and paint it.

Can confirm that the 1:43 scale one printed out in about 2.5 hours for the body, and 45 minutes for the wheels and tyres. Had to use brims to stop them detaching from the plate though, they're quite small. I suspect the 1:24 scale ones would be better. The 1:43 scale one is about 10 cm by 4 cm. Don't be tempted to put the model flat in your slicer, it has to be up at that angle so you don't get ugly layer lines on the bonnet and roof (that one is now in the bin). I used organic tree supports and it worked nicely. Will try to get a photo later.

Does iPhone scanned 3D model can be converted to printable model?

Couple of photos of the 1:43 scale one I’ve just printed. Tyres in PLA were a bit of a pain to get onto the wheels. TPU would be better. I imagine the bigger model will be a bit better looking, but I’ll give this one a bit of a sand and paint it (at least the windows, grille and lights).

AI answer : Yes, you can convert a 3D model scanned with an iPhone into a printable model! Here’s a general overview of the process:

Install a 3D Scanning App: There are several apps available for iPhone, such as Polycam, Scandy Pro, and Qlone1. These apps use the iPhone’s camera and LiDAR sensor (if available) to capture detailed 3D scans.
Capture the Scan: Use the app to scan your object. Make sure to capture it from multiple angles to get a complete model. Good lighting and a stable setup can help improve the quality of the scan.
Process the Scan: After capturing the scan, the app will process the data to create a 3D model. This step might involve cleaning up the scan, filling in gaps, and smoothing out surfaces.
Export the Model: Once the model is ready, export it in a format suitable for 3D printing, such as STL or OBJ.

Nice, a bit rough because of the scale. I still have a piece of black PLA to print the wheels and tires, and the silver gray one just arrived, so I'll print the body, then I'll also take a photo.

Assume one the model is in software, you can edit it to make a shell rather than a solid to improve the printing time?

You would need the support of that shell, so it would be almost the same. Inside that model is just a grid.

I tend to print at 10% infill for this type of model. You can’t make it totally hollow or the top will sag before it cools.

This is what the slicer software does (eg Orca, Cura) - you give it a model file that defines the mesh of triangles forming the surface, tell it what your printer is capable of and what material you’re using, and it adds infill and supports where necessary and ‘slices’ it into layers. This is then exported as a set of instructions telling the printer where to move the print nozzle and how much plastic to extrude (plus a lot of other things like temperature control).
