Really nice upgrade !! I love this design

It drives perfectly well. The weigh is nice, and the TPU tire very satisfying !

My kids love these cute robots. To get a clean TPU print, i chose zero base- and toplayers and only one shell (0,5 mm extrusionwidth) with 0% infill.

you happen to have any pictures of the bearings you ordered? I ordered what you have listed and they are defiantly not the right thing for the project.

@Kylew_2546555 Oops. My mistake. I created so many of these models, I got the wrong bearings on this one. It uses 106-2RS 6mm x 10mm bearings. I will update the instructions. Thanks for catching this.

The other bearings are used for my articulated dump truck. I originally tried to use the same bearings as the dump truck, but the axle didn't have enough clearance with those bearings, so I had to use the smaller ones.

I added a picture showing the bearings pressed into the fenders. (edited)

@swholmstead hey it’s all good man that’s what this community is for buddy. Greatly appreciate the help just placed an order lol

Pretty fun little build it does have a lot of slop where the two sides connect to each other though

View one more comment

yes the bearing and servo are both in place but it looks to have more that .35mm on the bearing its probably closer to .7mm

@swholmstead I honestly think just making a second bottom plate that you can put on there if your printer is a bit more precise would probably fix that issue maybe just give it like .05 mm of tolerance

I think the carriage should get a brim. At least my print (the very thin part of the carriage) was not stable on the surface.

@pingi_3090399 It really depends upon your print bed. For me, it prints just fine. If it does not adhere for you, add a brim in your slicer.

It's a very nice revision but I couldn't figure out the sagging here. I tried every support setting.

@ErayAnkay_3154375 That "sagging" is a false bottom layer that I added to the model. You can remove that layer entirely in post printing cleanup. It is only there to support the next layer up. Just get some clippers or an xacto knife and clean that layer off. I sand it smooth with a nail file.

@swholmstead I didn't realize that this was a layer to remove because the top layer was a bit thin to my eye. I'll try pressing it again with simpler settings and scraping it off. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks! Was just to print profboots ones for my modified excavator (I took his excavator and turned it into a dragline excavator, files coming soon!) But takes way to long (On the layer height I want)
