KingSong KS18L/XL housing reinforcement

thingiverse

Hey, I had some problems with cracks in the KingSong KS18L internal housing after one small crash - they appeared in the place, where it's attached to the metal "legs", which are connected to the motor. To avoid replacing of the whole internal housing (and possible future cracks), I created small reinforcements. Print them with at least PETG/ABS - PLA will be too brittle. Parts 'left' and 'right' are for one side - if you need to use them for both, just print them 2 times (internal housing is the same for both sides). Here is example workflow: - disassemble the external housing - unscrew the 6 screws (each side) which attach the housing to the metal "legs" - if the cracks are big, best would be to use the cheap 3D printing pen with PETG to fill the cracks - sand the whole surface - glue the reinforcements to the original plastic with some very strong glue - methacrylate would be perfect - wait a couple of hours - put all screws in place, do not tighten them too hard - rebuild the rest of the wheel - job done If the holes are not in perfect alignment, you can use the drill to make them a little bit bigger. I've did it for 18L, but they should work perfectly for 18XL too, as both wheels use the same design. Happy wheeling and be safe!
