Tomica Hypercity raised highway kit

thingiverse

This is a ramp, pillar and road set that is compatible with the cardboard-like Tomica road system. My son still loves to build tracks with the road system and race cars along it, completely ignoring the train set! After seeing him balance the track on top of books and other precarious devices to form a makeshift bridge I stepped in and condemned his existing construction project for the safety of the Hypercity inhabitants, delaying playtime by 12 hours until the print had finished. This is parenting at its very best. This provides a bridge and raised roadway system that's compatible with the existing roadway allowing bridges and raised roadways to be constructed. In-line with UK town planning recommendations the bridge supports have been designed to prevent Hypercity homeless from rough-sleeping under the bridges. The bridge is best printed on its side, whereas the pillar is best printed with the road-side down. It helps if you have really good removable supports dialled in on your printer, unfortunately the design intent in these parts wasn't entirely based on printability but compatibility with the road system. The only place you should need supports are to keep the tabs in place and where the ledge i raised above the bed which ultimately holds the roadway elevated.
