Hi, all! 
It’s been an absolute blast and a thrilling ride to create the STEMFIE Cybertruck, using Bambu Lab’s CyberBrick system to breathe movement and life into the design. I’m truly honored to have had the chance to be part of the early testing phase for this game-changing platform.
A few years ago, I launched the STEMFIE Project with a simple goal: to offer free, open-source, 3D-printable construction sets that spark creativity and hands-on learning. Until recently, STEMFIE focused mainly on static models—fun to build, but stationary. Now, thanks to the CyberBrick RC system, the project is taking a bold leap into mechatronics and the exciting world of remote-controlled toys.
From Static Builds to Motion
The CyberBrick’s modular, plug-and-play approach to RC electronics has made creating dynamic toys so much simpler! For STEMFIE, this means transforming a model once destined for display into a fully functional, remote-controlled creation. The first big milestone in this journey? A CyberBrick-powered STEMFIE Cybertruck!
Building the STEMFIE Cybertruck
The process was made even smoother by the MakerWorld team, who provided the CyberBrick components as STEP files. Importing these into FreeCAD allowed me to design custom STEMFIE parts tailored to hold the CyberBrick module and other elements seamlessly. The result is a rugged, functional Cybertruck that perfectly blends STEMFIE’s educational roots with cutting-edge RC tech.
The STEMFIE CyberBrick Handheld Transmitter
Inspired by my RC airplane hobby, I also designed a unique handheld transmitter to match the STEMFIE aesthetic. This custom unit incorporates all the CyberBrick set’s core components, making it a versatile controller for this project and many more to come.
The Future of STEMFIE Mechatronics
The CyberBrick system has unlocked a whole new realm of possibilities for STEMFIE. Looking ahead, I’m excited to dive into more RC vehicles, programmable robotics, and interactive STEM tools that harness CyberBrick’s potential. This shift is a game-changer for the STEMFIE Project—making engineering more accessible, engaging, and downright fun for makers, educators, and learners alike.
With CyberBrick, the possibilities are truly endless. Keep an eye out for more STEMFIE RC designs, and if you’re a fellow maker, I encourage you to explore how CyberBrick can turbocharge your own 3D-printed creations!
The future of 3D-printed toys is brilliant!
