Do you have an auto enthusiast in your life? Whether your passion is a leisurely Sunday drive, an adrenaline-inducing spin around the track, or creating and collecting car models, Thangs designers’ auto-inspired creations will have your printer humming.

If you are an RC enthusiast who wants total control, look no further than Elvis RC Studio’s off-road vehicles and rock crawlers. These comprehensive projects allow you to 3D print nearly the entire functioning car yourself — the perfect, rewarding challenge for the holidays.

Want to sneak some automotive style into your home or the office? Filamentedshop offers a subtle solution with their 3D printable desk organizers. Whether your passion is classic cars, JDM, or rally, these functional designs let you show off your interests without being overtly distracting.

For those who love the process of assembly and finishing, we have two excellent kit options. Choose the spooky neon-style check engine light kit by Printstart3D, or opt for a multi-part challenge like the miniature Mazda Miata kit from StanceGT — perfect for printing, assembling, and painting.

Don’t let the end of the Formula 1 season cause an eleven-week slump! You can relive the spirit and keep busy until Melbourne by building and displaying your favorite iconic circuit, or by carrying some subtle F1 style with you everywhere you go. GetSmartHomeOffice, RWBDesigns and many other creators will have you covered.

If you’re into cars you will probably also appreciate mechanics. Soarpix and StatusSymbol have created engaging projects with hidden mechanical solutions that are fun to print and directly incorporate your car keys into the clever design.
