Project Overview
The idea for this project came to mind when I received the LEGO® Ferrari SF-24 F1 Race Car as a gift. Since my student room had limited space, I needed a way to display the car without adding clutter to flat surfaces. I decided showcasing it on the wall, as if it were driving, was the perfect solution.
Design & Inspiration
Although there are many wall mount solutions available online, including purchasable options and brick-built displays, I wanted to design my own to practice my modeling skills.
I drew inspiration from existing designs on MakerWorld (Design 1 and Design 2) to create a custom 3D printed mount.
LEGO also offers a solution to display their F1 line of cars if you have the right pieces. You can build your own display stand using standard bricks.
Future Plans: PieceClick
This project has sparked an idea that combines my enthusiasm for LEGO with my passion for software engineering. I plan to develop a website called PieceClick. The concept is a platform where LEGO fans can enter a set number and discover community-created improvements for that specific set.
Users would be able to find and upload enhancements such as lighting kits, alternative micro-builds, motorized modifications, or 3D printed accessories like this wall mount. My goal is to create a hub that facilitates the search of LEGO improvements for fans and avoid the clutter of searching for hours on end for the right thing and make the searching a bit easier.
If I create any more LEGO wall mounts or design 3D print enhancements for LEGO sets, I will keep them aside so that I will post them on PieceClick when the app is ready.
