Here's the next element in the DIVE COASTER PROJECT!

~

-This is a sidewinder element, the first inversion of the project. 

-The track is split into 8 parts, although if you are shrinking the model down, you could print it in less. If you do this, you can download the full model to chop up yourself in bambu studio or another CAD software.

-There are 3 support holes, in the optimal spots on the back of the track. You can use 2" PVC pipe if you want to design your own structures or you can wait a little while to get some printed versions.

-ATTENTION!!! To get the train to make it all the way through this inversion, the drop will NEED to be extended! You can use the straight BnM track piece (bnmtrack) to separate the drop track (DropTrack) and the 45' turn (45turn). Again, sorry for the limitations of gravity.

-You can connect all parts in this project with M4 screws. If you print all 8 parts of this model, make sure you know which are which. They go in numerical order. They also do not have connecting cylinders like the other pieces, so you will need screws if you want to line it up perfectly. Superglue will hold them together, but has limitations.

-Although I did my best to check clearances and track smoothness, PLEASE tell me if your train wheels hit on anu of the track braces. I could have made mistakes.

Thanks to all of you supporting the project! Sorry for the delays, I have been really busy with school and work. I want to make sure this is a simple experience for anyone who wants to experiment with coasters! I hated wanting to build a ride myself, and having no free or straight forward instructions on how to do so. Hopefully this is a solution to all who seek the same thing.
