Tamiya tank tread chassis mod for dual gearbox

prusaprinters

<p>Size: 180mm x 60mm x 4mm (width at gearbox mount is 70mm)</p> <p>Main Body for use with the Tamiya tank tread hobby kit. The rear holes have been adapted for the dual gearbox. The "Tam_Pictured" stl is the file that was printed and used in the photos. The difference is that the gearbox is 5mm further forward in "Tam_Pictured", and there are two small mounting holes on the back. "Tamiya_Mount" has the gearbox 5mm further back, and loses the rear holes, but can better handle some tread configurations.</p> <p>I have also added four extra mounting holes for mounting extra components to the base (micro servo, standoffs, etc). I will be adding an Arduino/servo mount as soon as I get those finished.</p> <p>It just happened that the original screws that came with my kit hold snugly, but M3 machine screws/nuts should also work.</p> <p>EDIT: uploaded pic with a more "tank" tread configuration.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I printed at .2mm layer height and 60% infill. It seems to be plenty strong at these settings.</p> <p>The print is 4mm thick. This was to accommodate the standoffs/nuts I have. If you would like it thicker, you should gain 1mm for every 25% added to the Z axis.</p> </p> Category: R/C Vehicles
