Description
RC Buggy, larger than 1/8 scale (see picture next to a 1/8 buggy). The buggy was printed entirely in PETG, but polycarbonate is recommended for the gears and half shafts if possible. PDF assembly drawings are attached.
I used the following print settings for the plastic parts:
4 perimeters
4 solid layers
0.3mm layer height
25% rectilinear infill for everything except the drivetrain, 100% for the drivetrain
The tires were printed in NinjaFlex using the following settings:
3 perimeters (this is a soft tire, would recommend 4)
3 solid layers (would recommend 4)
0.3mm layer height
5% gyroid infill
All printed parts are within the capabilities of a Prusa i3 mk3, and no support is required. I used dowel pins for assembly, although aluminum rods cut to length could also be used.
Tools needed for assembly:
Taps (4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-24)
0.251" reamer
All pin connections are modeled as 0.25" and are reamed for the best fit
Standard set of hex keys
