You can print the gear file with wither the chassis or the wheels. I printed my parts on a Makerbot Replicator 2. The settings I used are in the picture.

Assemble the car
Place the chassis on top of the wheels. The wheel with the gear should be on the side of the chassis with the rectangle cut out.
3
Assemble the littleBits
Plug the battery into the power bit and snap that too the motor bit. Slip the gear onto the motor bit. Snap the bits onto the track so that the gears line up.
I have been quoted $120 to print car in color and ship the car components. Is this what one would expect? I don't know anything about 3D printer costs. Thanks.

Hello Sharon,
Some people charge by the cubic square inch or centimeter, and some people charge per the hour. I would recommend posting the files on a site like http://cowfab.com. There you can say the price range you would like it done for and people will bid on printing it for you.

Thank you for the reply. A classmate printed it in color. It's mailed; we're waiting excitedly. I hope more projects are in the works from you. What you posted was all he needed to print. A cool way for a child to learn about gears!

Hi Sharon
What color did you print it in?

I never did such stuff on my car. But one of my office colleagues did 3d printing on his car with the help of the guys from atlanticprecision.com. The final result was simply amazing.
