The model of a cable car including the bottom and top station and a cable car cabin I have made for my son. To be completely honest, I probably had more fun in designing and building it then he had playing with it later, but he still loves it! Bottom station is designed to hold in a NEMA17 motor and electronics (Arduino nano) which enables the button controls over the cable car (left-stop-right) as well as automatic stopping of the cable car inside the bottom station by using a magnet inside the cabin and sensor inside the base. Both bottom and top station are meant to be mounted sideways on a wardrobe or a wall and connected using a strong non-flexible string. The cable car can then run from the ground (were a kid can place some lego inside :) ) and up to near the ceiling and back. The cabin itself with some minor modification was taken from a model of Ivanov design studio: A toy cable car "Liftche" so I'd like to thank Ivan for the inspiration. I have attached detailed instructions on building the model, all the STL files as well as step files if you would like to modify it and develop further. The only thing I didn't document in detail is electronics assembly and programing just because I didn't find time. However, if you have any questions about it please just ask I and I would be happy to explain and share everything. Have fun! ;)
