RC printed Buldozer

thingiverse

Craft a 130mm RC PLA bulldozer with servo motors and gears, utilizing laptop batteries for power. The model requires a 7805 voltage regulator to supply 5V for the receiver. Key elements include 2x 608 bearings, M8 screw rod, tiny screws, washers, and three 9g servos (two modified to act as motors). Glue parts together using appropriate solvents: acetone for ABS and iron solder for PLA. Ensure correct part positioning in your slicing software before printing. Smooth operation is facilitated by wood fill on the tank thread and "wheels." Assemble the thread with paper clips, but leave room to insert batteries and electronics within the hood and top compartments. Programmable transmitters enable mix controls for all directions. Performance may vary on different surfaces, but overall, this bulldozer is a fun build and play toy. Watch it in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUUmX01zgo0.
