Description
This is still a thing in progress with not a whole lot of detailed assembly instructions yet.

I was playing with the idea of making a DiY power wheels type toy for my son. and decided to first attempt at a solid rear axle with diff.
deciding at this scale it would be cool to make a semi realistic version.
it's designed with a few changes.. For starters the vast majority of it was assembled with 5/8 bolts and nuts from a hardware store.
the outputs from the center diff are 1" PVC pipe. and I used a threaded rod to a long bolt for the drive output. (the bolt was glued into the corresponding diff gears) At the ends I glued skateboard bearings in.
The entire axle was printed in ABS. and many parts were smoothed with acetone and/or bonded using a combination of screws, glue, and acetone bonding.
I have not finished my own print quite yet. so I don't have all the answers or details. it's very much a DIY project!
