3D Printed Electric Skateboard

myminifactory

This is a state-of-the-art 3D Printed Electric Skateboard engineered specifically for the MY4777 3D printing class. The entire project requires approximately $280 in materials and spans a construction time of 3-4 hours once all necessary components are printed. A cutting-edge Open Source VESC system powers the speed controller, while three 1500mah lipo batteries provide the necessary energy to propel this sleek vehicle forward. The board itself was created using the Gigabot X prototype and recycled ABS pellets, showcasing a commitment to sustainability. Meanwhile, the remaining parts were printed in Polycarbonate at 100% infill for added strength and durability. Future upgrades are already on the horizon, including customizable truck mounts that can accommodate any skateboard design, 3D printed trucks, wheels, and motors, as well as integrated single batteries within the board itself, eliminating the need for external lipos. Furthermore, waterproofing the electronics will ensure this electric skateboard remains operational in various environments. The commercial counterpart to this project costs a minimum of $999, indicating that this endeavor could save consumers up to 72% on their investment.
