Electric Longboard

thingiverse

This was a summer project to build a one piece 3D printed electric longboard from scratch. Is your printer big enough to handle it? For those who can't print it all at once, I'll upload files later with the board split into three manageable parts. It's made of solid Ultem 1010 and engineered to withstand 280 pounds of weight. Still a work in progress, though! The space on the bottom houses two Lipo batteries, a 120a ESC, and a 2.4ghz receiver. A 3/16" aluminum plate covers the bottom of the board, secured by four M4 bolts. Printed on a Fortus 900mc printer, it took six days to complete. I used thingiverse's 545345 design for the large spur pulley on the wheel, which was printed out of Ultem 9085 and works amazingly well! I updated the design to split the deck into three parts on August 29th, and again on September 12th to include files for electric drive components. Instead of welding components to trucks, I used set screws to bolt the mount onto the truck, requiring lots of loctite to secure it in place. You can find videos explaining how I designed this project under the "How I Designed This" section! The design was created using Solidworks.
