A friend's friend collects old Tonka toys. He finds them on Ebay and tries to fix them up. He mentioned that several replacement parts are not available. My friend told him that I could probably make him the parts by 3D scanning and printing them.
Here's how I made one. I used a Revopoint POP2 3D scanner to scan the back bench seat from a 1963 Tonka Jeep Runabout. The Revo Scan5 software allowed me to edit and merge two different views.
I used Geomagic DesignX CAD software to sketch out the design of the new CAD model. I exported a STL file and loaded it into my Prusa XL slicer. After two plus hours I had a nice replacement part.
The 3D printer model is located at:
* printables.com/model/775534-1963-tonka-jeep-rear-seat
* thingiverse.com/thing:6497433
Here's some of the stuff I used:
* POP3 3D Scanner ( amzn.to/49KoHYq )
* Aesub Blue Scanning Spray ( amzn.to/3I9ZYRI )
* Prusa 3D Printer ( amzn.to/3SQA8Hc )
* Ivory PLA Filament ( amzn.to/49KoHYq )
* Bone White PLA+ Filament ( amzn.to/49H3jDE )
* Light Brown PLA Filament ( amzn.to/3TaTtoc )
* PETG White filament ( amzn.to/3T6bPGy )
* Resellers Guide to Tonka Trucks ( amzn.to/3wrgmup )
* Collectors guide to Tonka Trucks ( amzn.to/3TbIMBM )
