Modjul - Cruiser Skateboard

thingiverse

A versatile skateboard system designed specifically for cruising, similar to a short longboard. It's engineered to utilize threaded rod through the hanger, making it compatible with standard wheels and bearings. This design has undergone extensive testing, and I've accumulated numerous miles on this particular model. The deck measures 8" in width and 27" in length, while the wheelbase is set at 19.25", providing a slightly longer ride compared to a shortboard. The trucks are 160mm, resulting in a stable and comfortable feel - significantly more relaxed than what you'd experience on a shortboard. This system also boasts a lightweight and compact design, ideal for commuters who rely on public transportation as part of their daily routine. The mid deck has been engineered to perfectly fit diagonally onto a 300x300mm platform similar to the Creality CR-10. Use TPU for the bushings. PETG or PLA+ are recommended materials for most other parts, although I've experienced issues with PETG in the past, specifically when running it into a curb. In such cases, consider using something less brittle like PLA+ or even Nylon if possible. 5/16" threaded rod is typically available at local hardware stores (or home improvement centers). You'll need to cut the rod to length and clean up the threads after cutting. Double-ended threaded studs are also an option but aren't readily available in the 9" length required for this project. As seen in the photos, you'll require a few bolts to connect the noses to the mid deck. Most of the ones I used are 10-24 x 2", while a few may be 1/4" x 2". You'll also need washers and lock nuts as well as kingpins for the trucks, which are 3/8" x 2 - 1/2" coarse. If you plan to use these trucks on a conventional wood deck, you'll need risers. The hole spacing is compatible, but attempting to use conventional trucks with this deck will result in an excessively tall setup due to the thickness of the deck. For the mid deck, I highly recommend using Cubic infill for optimal results. Printing 1 shell at 1.0 mm nozzle and approximately 15% infill should suffice. This yields a total weight of around 600 grams of filament. However, you may choose to use more if you're concerned about strength. Please refer to my other designs for additional printing information. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. Edit: 6-8-2021 I've added an optional one-piece deck designed specifically for individuals with larger printers or those using a belt printer. This new design is available as OnePieceCruiserDeck-CR30.stl at the request of Xtnmc.
