Losi 8ight Shock Cap Homebrew (LOS243001)

thingiverse

I couldn't wait for delivery of the replacement parts, so I designed this Losi 8ight Shock Cap replacement. The part number for the original part is LOS243001, this was made mostly by eye, and a little help from a ruler... It was designed to be thicker and more sturdy but still the same height from shock body to the pin. This fits my Losi 8ight T v3 Petrol, but I know the shocks are the same on the Electric version too, and it looks like v4 is also the same. Took it over a grass field with BMX track in it, a few laps and jumps later and it's still on, still in once piece, and no sign of any oil leaking. Print Settings Printer: Wanhau Duplicator 4 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Layer Height Infill: 100% Notes: I found it better to print upside-down, and use supports either side of the eyelet. That way the 'cup' remains clear and free from rogue bits of support material that may get into the shock. Printed in PETG, 0.2mm layer, 100% infill, 255deg, 90deg, and with custom supports in Simplify3D.
