Close up of the lower link mounts. I purposely made the flanges stupid big but if they hold up I may slim them down to look a little better. I printed these and all the other printed parts on a MarkForge in the Onyx material. Obviously this is not a original design since SMW made these a few years ago but this is my take on them. I did a 15deg angle which seems to be about perfect for the Y-Town chassis.

Great start Tyler, I think it was smart to print your lower link mounts that large. Edgar bought a set similar to the SMW mounts 3d printed and he snapped them easily on course. The battery and electronic tray design looks great looking forward to see it mounted. Hope you finish this rig before BLC's next comp. I seem to be able to bust top self parts so if you need a tester for those link mounts print me up 4  Last edited by tapped-out; 01-09-2018 at 08:03 PM. |

That's a great job!! I print most of my parts out of CarbonX which is a nylon/20%carbon filament and they hold up great since carbon fibers in the mix prevents ripping. I've gone as thin as 5mm with no trouble on my shafty but I used lock nuts on (1.5mm deep hex shape hole to partially sink them) the back side to secure links and shocks. Looking forward for this build!!!!
