Robot Base II

thingiverse

This is a work in progress that I'm using to further my understanding of designing and printing tank tracks using TPU. This works as is right now. I have found that the motors are a little underpowered to handle the tracks I've included, so I plan on generating another set that should improve performance and power usage. I also intend on building a cover for this to hold a Raspberry pie and some sensors. 3/25/17 Edit: added new track profile 1b. The Motors have a much easier time with it. Parts List: 2 - Pololu micro motors. 2 - Pololu M3 hubs 2 - Pololu simple motor controllers (future) 1 - Raspberry Pie (future) 4 - M3 x 30mm screws bolts and 8 washers (attach chassis to arms) 8 - M3 x 5mm screws (for the hubs) 2 - 1/4" x 1 3/4 inch bolts for the idler pulley 4 - 1/4" inside diameter bearings for the idler wheels Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerGear Printer: MakerGear M2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .2mm
