Printed truck V2: Frame

cults3d

Finally got around to finishing the frame! Just missing the driveshaft and gearbox then it's ready for a test. There are three different ways to make this frame: 1) Print frontframe and rearframe, this requires a printing area of at least 225x76 millimeter. 2) Print frontframe_20cm and rearframe, one at a time and diagonally across the bed. This will just about fit, with some millimeter to spare if you have a 20x20cm bed to print on, I have tested it myself. 3) Print Split_Frontframe_20cm_A, Split_Frontframe_20cm_B, Split_Rearframe_A and Split_Rearframe_B then join them with 4mm rods and glue, this way you can print on an even smaller bed if done separately and diagonally. Hardware needed: 8x M3x16 for the 4-links. 8x M4x10(or shorter) for the ninjaflex springs 2x M4x20 for the frame lock 2x 4mm rod, 70-80mm long for the frame reinforcement. You can check out the assembly video for this over at my youtube: http://www.youtube.com/c/MrCrankyfaceProjects 2016-04-20 Edit: Added Frontframe_20cm.stl. This will fit diagonally on a 20x20cm bed, I had to chop off a bit on the front. The point of the front extension is to give more support for the cab that'll sit on top but I moved the holes back so it should still have an adequate mounting with the shorter frame. So basically, if you have enough print volume, print front_frame and rear_frame. If you only have 20x20cm, print rear_frame and front_frame_20cm, diagonally on the bed, it will be very tight but should fit. 2016-04-24 Edit: Changed size of the holes for gearbox so it's easier to screw it on, you don't need to reprint this part if you've already printed it though. 2016-04-28 Edit: Updated all the frames and added Split-frames which take even less space to print but requires gluing and steel rods. I'll upload more V2 parts as soon as I get them finished, stay tuned!
