Where can I find an STL model of the Flying Sub with working landing gear and rotating wheels
I was on the same boat (or sub?) not long ago — my kid wanted something he could “zoom around” the floor with, not just put on a shelf. After some searching, I found a pretty detailed STL that actually includes working landing gear with wheels that can rotate. The pieces are designed to move if you assemble them right. I grabbed it from this collection of cool things to 3d print. It printed nicely on my FDM setup with just a few tweaks to layer height for the gear hinges. Honestly, one of the few models that didn't need a ton of fiddling to get motion parts working.

Just casually scrolling through and saw this thread — pretty cool to see people bringing these retro designs to life with added functionality. I haven’t done anything mechanical myself yet, but I’m definitely taking notes for the future. Some of these builds are seriously impressive.
