Note: Project still under construction, individual components will be published when full design is complete. Hi there, This is the M4Rover I am currently designing. I started designing this project to challenge myself to learn more about 3D Design, robotics, and everything else involved in creating an autonomous rover. I've gone through several old RC-cars with each having their own defects which halted my project's progression. Since I have a Ultimaker 2+ readily available, I decided to start designing the rover chassis and other components myself. I set a goal not to use more than three 3D printed parts plus M4 bolts, nuts, and rods along with various-sized washers and small spring-steel axels for mounting parts. I set this goal so that others can replicate it without having to order too many specialized parts or hard-to-find screws. The design is mostly based on rock-crawlers or scalers. I hope you like it. I appreciate tips and discussion in comments. Keep following this post, because I will be adding more as the design progresses.
