Traxxas Rod Jig for 40mm V Slot Aluminum Extrusion

thingiverse

This is an updated remix of Thews'/Justin Edwards' traxxas rod jigs, designed for use with either one or three rods. I strongly advise fishing with only one rod at a time, utilizing the central slot in the jig for optimal results. However, if you prefer to fish with three rods simultaneously, make certain to thoroughly test fit them to ensure that all three jigs are perfectly aligned, thereby preventing any discrepancies in length between the top and bottom rods within the jig. I only had access to 16mm M5 bolts on August 24th, which were experiencing excessive clearance issues due to the original 7.5mm thickness of the mounting bracket. As a result, I increased the thickness by an additional 5mm for version 1.1. On August 28th, despite the single rod setup potentially offering more consistent results, I decided to expedite the process and created a three-rod version as well. You also have the option of printing only the three-rod jigs and using the central slot still if you desire even greater precision. Ultimately, this method may require less plastic overall.
