M548 (Body 1/3)

thingiverse

<h1>INTRODUCTION</h1> The front section of the M548 RC 1/10 scale model is now complete, designed to be printed using a 200x200 mm printer. I'm proud to say that every detail is my own creation, except for the front lights, which were generously provided by Cooperino, a talented friend who deserves credit for an outstanding design effort. After thorough testing, it appears to function properly, although it still requires completion. You can witness its performance in the links below: <ol> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXExANYlS5I/">Test 1</a>.</p></li> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsJ7jWMVhmk/">Test 2</a>.</p></li> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0PQYN6heOw/">Test 3</a>.</p></li> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4KdyEwWuVk/">Test 4</a>.</p></li> </ol> The model is not yet complete. For example, the doors can be glued if desired, but I envision making them functional with hinges and neodymium magnets. You will notice holes for installing the magnets at the doors and body. Additionally, it's recommended not to glue the roof as I plan to create interior parts with seats and driving levers. If everything is glued, you won't be able to install these parts later (or it will be more difficult). <h1>ASSEMBLY</h1> <h2>FreeCAD</h2> I'm proud to have designed the entire model using FreeCAD open-source software. I want to express my gratitude to all the developers who made this project possible. To simplify assembly, I've included FreeCAD files that show how all the parts come together in detail. If you'd like to download and use FreeCAD for free to visualize the assembly, visit their official page at <a href="https://www.freecadweb.org/">FreeCAD</a>. I recommend gluing all parts together and using bolts and nuts only to enhance stability. <h2>Hardware</h2> To assemble the chassis parts, you will need: <ul> <li>14 X 10mm M3 bolt (ISO7046)</li> <li>12 X M3 nut (ISO4032)</li> <li>12 X M3 Washers</li> </ul> You can find all necessary pieces in the FreeCAD assembly file called "Ensamblaje Carroceria Delantera." I highly recommend using FreeCAD for visualization. <h1>PARTS</h1> <list> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3097391/">Chassis</a>.</p></li> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107817/">Gearbox</a>.</p></li> <li><p>M548 <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3116665/">Wheels & Suspension</a>.</p></li> </list>
