Track Clip

prusaprinters

<p>After I printed out a lot of Brandon's excellent track pieces, I noticed they moved around a little bit. So I quickly created this to clip the two pieces together and hold them tight.</p> <p>Brandon's tracks can be found here. Give him a huge thanks for creating the track in the first place. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2004013">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2004013</a> - Straight Track</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2687113">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2687113</a> - Curved Track</p> <p>The clip can be printed without support on its edge and with any infill you want. I printed about 40 of them to hold all the track together.</p> <p>They might cause a slight wobble on hard floors, but have no issues on carpet. You could always use 2 clips to even out the sides to stop any wobble, if need be.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Wanhao</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.3mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>Any</p></div> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>Peel them off the print bed and push them onto the tracks. I find it easier to clip one end on first, and just press down on the other end and it snaps into place. Removing them is a little harder, and they might go flying, but they're not overly hard to remove.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Tinkercad</strong></p> <div><p>I created this in Tinkercad in about 10 minutes and used some calipers to measure the track gap.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: R/C Vehicles
