I endeavored to make a replica Kenner speeder bike complete with exploding/launching mechanism for the chassis. I've tested much of this, but have gotten behind on my printing projects and would love if someone could try this out and let me know how it works for them.
Exploding mechanism is accomplished with a rubber band or tension spring; if using a rubber band the trick will be getting a narrow enough one that it does not catch on the sides of the interior of the body, especially with a knot (which will likely be necessary to shorten a rubber band you have, unless you already have a perfectly sized one).
Printing:
Print one of each part, as well as a flipped version of the leg and fender pieces to have one for each side. The body is asymmetrical and has 2 distinct models.
Assembly:
Use my model for the chassis if needed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4759262
