MyRCCar: Key Concepts plus KEYRING :)

cults3d

First off, let me tell you what this project is about. It's not just about making 3D printable things that are useful; it's also about pushing the boundaries of materials science. Day after day, I see more and more 3D printable things that are truly impressive. But there's a catch - most of them require plastic filament, which is a great resource for designs, but can't replace metal parts just yet. That's why I started the OpenRC Truggy project. The goal was to show the world that you can print almost everything, from chassis to differentials, vases, axles, gears, wheels, and shocks. And with some creative thinking, we could even make battery and motor 3D printed too. My main problem with that project was I couldn't print the gears well enough to withstand hard accelerations or brakes, and if I drove softer but quick, some other parts would melt or break like axles or vases. But beyond the original design, I saw how the community made mods that transformed it into something more interesting, using fewer printed parts and sourcing others. I made and shared my mods for metal transmission including F/R Housing, Suspension Arms, and Central Diff Housing for SST 1/8 diff, and my most important work for that project was the FJ Cruiser Body. I never got any attention from the original designer, but it was a great way to introduce me to 3D printed RC cars. I'm new to RC Cars, but I've learned a thing or two about them in the last few years. One of the hardest things is finding specific sourced parts - I had to pay over 50€ for the recommended OpenRC Truggy Reely CVDs for my first car. For my last build, I bought a Quanum Vandal Kit that included diffs, shocks, and many other things for 58€. I also bought a sourced RC car that cost me over 1000€ - it was a lot of money, but it worked perfectly from the start. But with MyRCCar, you'll have to be willing to spend some time tweaking and tuning your car to get it just right. If you're interested in this project, ask yourself these questions: Can you buy a 1000€ RC car, try it out a few times, break it, and sell it for 600€ broken? If so, this project isn't for you. Do you prefer others to do the hard work for you? This project is not for you either. Do you like having things exactly like everyone else's? Maybe you'll find another project that suits your tastes better. Do you want to keep your downloads and makes private? Look elsewhere. Do you expect everything to work perfectly from the start? MyRCCar may not be for you. Every time you enter something new, do you see only business opportunities? MyRCCar will remain free and non-commercial as long as it's in my hands, so think twice before joining. If you've read this far and are still interested, great! If you know nothing about the chassis, bodies, or accessories, that's a good start point. Now maybe it's time to take a look at my latest creation in action - see it here -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwl6WY2EyZcWCt5bSgKb7A. Please go on reading the next chapter where I'll explain the current options for building a MyRCCar! Here -> I'm new to this platform, and I'll be uploading my content here during the next few days. Remember to "Follow" if you want to stay tuned! If you can't wait to know more about the project, visit my Thingiverse profile here -> https://www.thingiverse.com/dlb5/about. The Share: I'm sharing one of my first creations for 3D printing - a keyring I made to test my DIY 2000x800x200mm CNC with an extruder. It was also intended to open beers, but... you'll have to let the smile without a teeth :P. Print it to see if your printer likes old dlb's designs! You can only download the keyring here, so if you print it and upload a make of the stupid keyring here or on Thingiverse, you'll be really into MyRCCar and have my attention :) I'm quite sure you'll have it anyway if you want ;).
