Veteran Sherman OG+Max Front/Side Bumper

thingiverse

<strong>2022-08-09: Since thingiverse is a bit buggy sometimes my original design was unlisted thus I have re-uploaded it here.</strong> <strong>Based on my previous design "Veteran Sherman OG+Max Small Front/Side Bumper" which I now consider to be a legacy thing.</strong> A bumper for the Veteran Sherman that I designed in Blender, fits both the OG and Max, offer more protection than it's predecessor, the side bumpers are now much larger and comes with an optional frontal bumper. The frontal bumper can also act as a provisional kickstand of sorts (see photo). <em>The idea for this bumper stems from off-road use where accidentally dropping the wheel at low speed on technical terrain (such as a pedal clip) usually means that the wheel will fall somewhere on the front/side, this bumper is meant to give some protection from rocks and such in combination with whatever power pads are mounted. The bumper is not intended to be a high speed crash protector although it's possible it might offer some protection.</em> Print in TPU and attach with velcro (preferred) or double sided tape. This is a modular design, you can choose if you only want only the left+right bumpers or if you want left+right+frontal bumpers. <strong>Why modular? A lot of people myself included might not have a big print-bed, with a modular approach it's possible to print it with a smaller print-bed, also if you happen to have more than one printer you can print several pieces at once which is advantageous considering all the parts takes a while to print.</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Left/Right Bumpers only:</strong></li> </ul> Download "Bumper Only Left.stl" and "Bumper Only Right.stl", these models does not have the slot to slide in the frontal bumper. <ul> <li><strong>Modular Left/Right + Frontal Bumper:</strong></li> </ul> Download "Modular Bumper Front.stl", "Modular Bumper Left.stl" and Modular "Bumper Right.stl", in these models the left and right bumper has a slot where you slide in the frontal bumper to secure it.
