Safer Toddlers Toy Car

thingiverse

Newton101 designed a really cute toy car, I printed it out and it had very sharp edges, the pegs of the tires broke off easily, and the wheels are a chocking haszard, they were 23mm in diameter which is 0.9" and in the U.S. the choking hazard diameter is anything under 1.25" (31.75mm). I didn't want to give it to my daughter cause I know she would break the wheels off and if she hit someone/fell on it the edges could cause injury so I widened the body a little so that I could use 12mm M4 screws to make sure they stayed in, smoothed out the body, rounded all the corners, then for the wheels I made them 40mm in diameter and instead of fragile pins they are held onto the body with 4 M4 12mm screws and it is a very tight fit on the body so they are never coming out without a hex wrench. Thank you Newton101 for the awesome design, I just tweaked it a bit so I felt good about giving it to my daughter. I may add the headlights back in another version but I need to get this printing for a Christmas present and they got in the way of rounding it.
