Easy to Assemble
To build the model you only need some basic tools such as a screwdriver, a sharp knife, soldering iron and most importantly – a good mood.
Cheap and fast repairs
Did you break something? Don’t worry, you’ll have a reprinted spare part in no time. Then loosen a few screws and replace the damaged parts. And – drive again immediately!
3d print maximum, buy minimum
“Don’t buy parts – just print them, nearly all!” You print most parts starting with bodywork, complete chassis and even cardan joints and gearbox. Buy just motor, radio control electronics, tires and shocks/springs – and you are ready for ride.
Step-by-step User Guide
Comprehensive Build Guide is available for free to anyone – lets go through before you buy the model. Build Guide include a complete bill of materials and links for online stores, when you can purchase non-printable parts.
“Build when you print” – you get not only the ready-made print plates but also the time-effective print sequence, so you can continue assembling while you printing and do not need to wait for the part you need.

This model alone is reason enough to buy a 3D printer! I really liked the 3Dsets 4×4 models. At first I hesitated to get the two wheel drive Buggy. I am so glad I did. This is my favorite model to date. It is strong and lots of fun to build and drive. The quiet, cleverly designed drivetrain is awesome. Did I say it is fun to drive? I can’t stress this enough! Even though the battery lasts more than 20 minutes I find myself sitting at the charger waiting for the light to turn green so I can drain the battery again.
When you got your 3D printer, Did you have whistles and desk pets in mind? … Bring out your inner child and print something fun and challenging. I double dare you! LOL -RockyTop

Awesome project. Thanks, guys. It was amazing 2 weeks of printing and assembling. I really enjoyed it.

After having printed numerous accessories for my RC hobby, and the recently printed a 59″ wing airplane, I came across 3D Sets and saw the Buggy. Since I love old VW’s and Baja Bugs, I decided to get the files for it.
I was taken aback by the amount of time required to print some of the parts. I had never in 16 months of printing so far, had something take 2 days and 3 hours to print a part! lol.. But the design team did so well, and engineered this kit so well, that everything goes together just as designed and building the assemblies and putting it all together was SO MUCH FUN! My Baja Bug looks sick, looks badd azz, and I love it! My only difficulty, was in reading some of the views in the build guide. I am old skool, and used to old Revell and Monogram build sheets and they are very different than this modern computer stuff. But I eventually got it all sorted out and I think my next 3D Sets project will be easier for me, regarding the build sheets. I salute the team at 3D Sets for what they have done and look forward to many more projects from them.

Bonjour,
j’ai construit deux modèles de Beetle Buggy très heureux avec le modèle très bien fait. Les Coléoptères ne fonctionnent pas parce que j’attends que les pneus montent les roues. Les fichiers STL sont très bons, il faut beaucoup de patience et de compétences mécaniques pour les modifier. notez qu’il serait intéressant d’associer dans les plans d’assemblage le lien des différents fichiers STL pour gagner en ergonomie et en productivité.
Très satisfait du réalisme du modèle Buggy

Hello,
I built two models of Beetle Buggy very happy with the model very well made. The Beetles do not run because I am waiting for the tires to mount the wheels. STL files are very good it takes a lot of patience and mechanical skill to edit. note it would be interesting to associate in the assembly plans the link of the various STL files to gain in ergonomics and productivity.
Very satisfied with the realism of the Buggy model
