This 1:17 scale model of a 2022 Formula 1 car is not only easy to print, but assembling it is quite simple too. The main body of the var is split in four different files, so that once printed separately they can be glued together to form the complete chassis. The rest of the components can be attached with a strong fastener or glue (make sure to firmly attach the suspension unit, as it will support all the weight of the car).
Please read the print settings and miscelaneous notes carefully to get the best result.

Notes:
Some files (the ones related to the tyres mostly) have a letter or a combination of letters at the end of the file name. The letters "l" and "r" designate the left and right version of different components; the letters "f" and "r" indicate whether this component is the front or rear version; finally, the letters "t" and "b" indicate top or bottom.
Some files will have to be printed out various times, as they do not vary. These files are "2021_Suspension_bracket_f.stl" (x4), "2021_Suspension_f.stl" (x2), "2021_Suspension_bracket_rb.stl" (x2) and "2021_Suspension_bracket_rt.stl" (x2).
I recommend using the lowest possible infill to make the car lighter and easier to support. Some files should be printed with supports to get a better result, and the suspension components and mirrors will come out much better when printed at 0.1 mm thickness.
