MyRCCar: Key Concepts plus KEYRING :)

cults3d

First of all, I want to tell you what this project is about and what is not. **<font color=#38B0DE>-==- Proudly Presents Day after day I see more 3d printable things which are useful. There are just a few in which you will only need plastic filament. Plastic is a great resource as a material for designs, but cannot cover all functionalities of materials by now, as the ones from metal parts. In the end, you see many printable things wich in combination with other materials and parts allow you to DIY mostly everything. **<font color=#38B0DE>-==- Sync: YTET-????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? **<font color="#ffff00">-==- proudly presents I started into rc cars with OpenRC Truggy project time ago. This project was about telling the world you can print almost everything, from chassis to differentials, vases, axles, gears, wheels, shocks... and I think there was no graphene or magnetic filaments then... maybe going on that path we could try to make battery and motor also 3d printed... My main problem with that project was I could not print the gears well enough to resist some hard accelerations or brakes, and if I drive softer but quick some other parts would melt or break like axles or vases. But beyound the original design, I saw how community made mods which transformed it into something more interesting, using some less printed parts and some more sourced ones. I made and shared my mods for metal transmission including F/R Housing, Suspension Arms and Central Diff Housing for SST 1/8 diff, and my most important work for that project was the FJ Cruiser Body. I never had original designer or even any other real attention about this designs but was a really great way for introducing me into 3d printed rc cars. **<font color="#ffff00">-==- proudly presents I'm new in RC Cars. I just played with a RC Bike while child in the 90's but this last years I think I have learned a little about RC Cars and mechanics related to them. One of the hardest works is to find very specific sourced parts. I had to pay more than 50€ for the recommended OpenRC Truggy Reely CVDs for my first car. For my last build I bought a 58€ Quanum Vandal Kit wich included also the CVDs but also diffs, shocks and many things more, screws, wheels... I also bought the recommended ESC/Motor combo for more than 60€ and I burnt the Motor (2pole). I could buy a compatible motor 4pole wich lasts until today. I paied less than 40€ for my last ESC/Motor, being the ESC sensored/sensorless 60A and the motor with 5mm axle 3660 2300KV 4pole. With all this I mean as much options the better, as you can find parts easier and cheaper, and also allows you to build more than an exact closed model, a configurable one. I try to close this part remarking MyRCCar is about creating your own 3d printed rc car wich should perform, thanks to sourced parts, near the entry hobby level. As plastic use to break sooner than metal parts, you will be able to re-print the broken part most of the times. **&LT;FONT COLOR="#FFFF00"&GT;-==- PROUDLY PRESENTS The whole project has been printed in a 140€ 3d printer with the cheapest of the PLAs and TPU I could find. Yesterday making some videos I broke one lower arm of my green buggy "Frogger", it was after some hit with hard rolling and tumbling :S This situation will provide me a few minutes of 3d printing "hobbying" and some other few minutes of rc car repairing "hobbying" and a few €cents of plastic an KWh spend. If instead of my "Frogger" it would have been the Vandal, I would have to wait maybe days or weeks, and also expenses would be bigger, talking about some €, not some cents. Now a few questions you should ask yourself to know if you are really interested in this project! Can you buy a 1000€ RC car, try it a few times in the backyard, break it and sell it for 600€ broken? I think this project is not for you. Do you preffer others to do the most of things you can do wich could require a little extra thinking?¿? This is not for you. Do you like having things always the same than others? Maybe you could find better 3d printed rc car closed-models projects for you. Do you like to let no track about your downloads, makes or experiences with your 3d printed rc car? Look for another project, please! Do you spect everything to work perfect from first time until infinite? Maybe you will have to spend more than 1000€ in a sourced rc car. Everytime you enter into something new, you can only see bussiness oportunities? MyRCCar will remain free and non-comercial while is in my hand, so think it twice. Did you read all this and you are already there? NICE! If you really like the project just knowing this but nothing about its chassis, bodies or accessories is a good start point :) Now maybe it's time to take a look to my latest creation in action! See it here -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwl6WY2EyZcWCt5bSgKb7A Please go on reading the next chapter where I'll try to explain the current options for building a MyRCCar! Here -> I'm new in this platform and I'll be uploading my content here during the next days. Remember to "Follow" if you want to stay tuned! If you can't wait to know more about the project, visit my thingiverse profile here -> https://www.thingiverse.com/dlb5/about THE SHARE: I share this time one of my first creations for 3D printing, a keyring I did for myself to bring some "smiles" to my keys, but also to test my first DIY 3D printer, a DIY 2000x800x200mm CNC with an extruder. It was intended also to open beers but... you will let the smile without a teeth :P. Print it to know if your printer likes old dlb's designs! You can only download the keyring here, so if you print it and upload a make of the stu-pid keyring here or in thingiverse you will be really into MyRCCar and have my attention :) I'm quite sure you'll have it anyway if you want ;)
