KillaJoule and Green Envy - the world's fastest electric motorcycle(s), with rider Eva Hakansson

thingiverse

Now you can create your own #ElectricVehicle or #GirlPower action figure set! The "KillaJoule" electric streamliner is the world's fastest electric motorcycle with a top speed of 434 km/h (270 mph). Yes, that three-wheeled rocket is technically a motorcycle! It's successor "Green Envy" has a 1000 HP and is aiming for 650 km/h (400 mph). Both are piloted by the designer and builder Eva Hakansson. The files includes the KillaJoule and the Green Envy and Eva in two version - with and without her racing suit and helmet. Meshmixer wasn't cooperating with me when I tried to re-size the files, so they aren't really to scale. You will need to use your slicer to make the action figure set to scale. ---> The pictured 3D print sets have the following sizes: Green Envy = 115 mm long KillaJoule = 100 mm tall Eva = 29 mm tall. I have handed out hundreds of 3D printed action figure sets to fans and supporters of this size because it gives a reasonable print time. When you print Eva that small, the print may come out better if you print two of them next to each other, or there won't be enough cooling time for each layer. ---> If you want a different size, here are the relations you need: -- The KillaJoule is 5.6 meters long. -- The Green Envy is 7 meters long. -- Eva is 1.58 m tall (plus add a little bit for the platform). --> Make the KillaJoule approximately 3.5 times longer than Eva is tall, or make Eva approximately 29 % of the length of the KillaJoule. --> Make the Green Envy approximately 4.4 times longer than Eva is tall, or make Eva approximately 23 % of the length of the Green Envy. I trust you can figure out that maths. :-) --- Support needed! --- The KillaJoule must be printed with support and brim. If the support is difficult to remove, increase the vertical distance between the support and the part (most slicers have a setting for this). Racing-Eva can be printed with or without support. Support makes the underside of the helmet nicer, but can be difficult to remove from inside the helmet. Regular-Eva prints without support. --- How the files were made --- Racing-Eva was 3D scanned by Scott Bell in Colorado, USA. Regular-Eva was scanned by myself using a Kinect 3D camera and the Shopify.Me cloud-based app. The KillaJoule was 3D scanned by Ben Colenso in New Zealand. --- Future speed records --- The KillaJoule was retired in 2019 after 9 years and 16 speed records. Its successor is the "Green Envy" was finished in 2020, but due to the raging pandemic its debut has been postponed to 2022. We have our eyes set on the outright motorcycle record, currently at 605 km/h (376 mph). You can learn more about the Green Envy at www.GreenEnvyRacing.com (and you can also get your name on the bike if you become a supporter). In addition to building and racing the world's fastest electric motorcycle, I also founded the filament brand KiwiFil. We manufacture 3D printing filament here in Auckland, New Zealand. Check out our range at www.KiwiFil.com. :-) (If you buy KiwiFil you will indirectly sponsor my racing effort, because that's where I spend all the money I can spare).
