Matt Schmotzer Print My Ride Detroit Interview

Описание: Matt Schmotzer of ‪@printmyridedetroit6115‬ is the designer behind some of the best roller coaster models you’ve ever seen, or maybe even built yourself. Matt’s first project that caught our eye was his incredible working 3D printed roller coaster model based on Kings Island’s Invertigo. We interviewed Matt five years ago to learn how he brought Invertigo to life and decided we were long overdue for a follow-up feature to hear what other crazy ideas he’s been working on.

This is a condensed version of our interview with Matt on the Coaster101 podcast. Listen to the full version here: https://www.coaster101.com/2022/05/02...

Since our initial interview, Matt has worked on some incredible projects which we discuss on this week’s show, including:

The Steel Vengeance model on display at Cedar Point and the challenges of trying to get it to work
How he got involved in working with CoasterDynamix
How he designed over eighty nanocoaster buildable models on sale at parks across the country
Which nanocoaster is not 100% accurate and which were the most challenging to design
Where and when he came up with the idea for Coaster Cutouts
The challenge of designing different size Coaster Cutouts but making them all fit in the same packaging
How to transport a 12 foot tall 3D printed replica of Raptor’s loop without breaking it
