Sinclair C5 Scale Model
Here is the first model of a Sinclair C5 created with a Makerbot 3D printer. It is roughly 1/10 in scale to a real C5 and is composed of 17 different parts created on the printer and then clipped or glued together to create the final model.
- It is roughly a 1/10 scale model (170mm x 65mm x 65mm)
- Wheels DO rotate.
- Steering bar is fixed
- Ideal as a decorative model rather than a toy
- Not suitable for children. Parts will come off with enough force.
- Everything is plastic and is printed on the high quality setting
The main C5 features are included, namely the distinctive shape of White body, the Grey inner part, handlebar, POD, pedals, wheel covers and front/back lights.
There are stickers for the front (next to the light) and Yellow strips on each side. Note: the rear wheel covers are plain White, the Yellow stickers would be too small to put on these.
This model was created on a Makerbot Replicator 2 3D printer.

Have you got a Printfile?
Have you got a file for the Mirrors?

that's a great looking model!
I am a teacher at York College and we are doing a project to redesign aspects of the C5, but we are struggling to get any accurate dimensions and drawings to be able to recreate it in CAD.
would you be willing to share your info to help us along?
Kind regards,
Mike Hume
