Track Tread

prusaprinters

<p>The goal of this project is to design and produce a fully 3D-printable set of treads for use on future robotics projects.<br>Each link is 40.5mm wide; the hub is 40mm in diameter excluding the teeth that mesh into the links.<br>The hub model labeled Adafruit is designed to fit the axle of a small DC gearmotor. The standard hub should be easy to modify for any other motor axle.</p><p>The frame is two pieces, and should be easy to print and assemble. All parts (minus motor) are 3D printed.</p><p>In post-processing, I used 1.75mm filament as “pins” to hold the tread links together. This is perhaps not the most resilient, but has worked far better for me than I expected it to initially.&nbsp;</p>
