Build Thread Luke66's MKUltra 3D Printed RC Race Buggy Build.

[luke66]

Well, this is for sure an interesting build. This is my attempt at 3D printing a raceable RC Buggy. This thing is 10TH scale 4WD, and is belt drive. So far I’ve bought nothing for this build but the driveshafts and reused some of my screws. Here’s my current progress:

The body and wing are printed in PLA filament while the rest is printed in PETG. As I drive the built car I will test different kinds of filaments to try to make this thing as durable as possible. The build technically started Oct. 19, but I haven’t had a chance to post the build until now. What I’ve got: all 3D printed parts, tires (no wheels) a small fan from a Arrma GROM, and some driveshafts that are on the way. What I need: all bearings and screws, drive belts, HW 10BL120 Sensored, 13.5T Brushless motor, a nice servo, a RX for my RC4, and some shorty batteries. (Plus some stuff I probably forgot) I’m planning on getting most of the parts from a seller called RCPrinter. He makes kits for lots of different 3D printable designs. Electronics will come from all over. Planning on getting the RCPrinter order done ASAP. Electronics could take a while. I did not design this buggy. I plan to use what I learn to try my best to design a 2WD 10TH scale buggy to go along with this build. Overall very excited to finish this build up and rip! Stick around for future updates! Expect a ton around Christmas time. Cya then!

Cool project!

Interesting name though

 

[luke66]

Hey, I didn't name it!

Your prints look great Luke. What printer do you have again?

I would drywall tape/shoegoo the inside of the body. PLA is pretty brittle. But it has surprised me a time or two.

Nicely done!

Printer is a Bambu P1P. No skills needed. This thing just printed right up.

I think there will be no drywall tape/shoe goo needed here. Body seems pretty tough.

i know a person who said this once... once.

This looks like a cool build! Even if it weren't a printed body, I might reinforce it. I crash a lot too tho...
What is this build's terrain? How fast will it go?
I'm watching!

I need to grab a Bamboo. Seems like every time I see a beautiful print, it's off one of them.

We have a total of 4 Bambu printers at school. 2 P1Ps, and 2 A1s. the print quality is crazy.

can't wait to see how this works out!!

That is very cool! It's great to know schools are teaching kids how to use them. Are you also learning CAD? Fusion 360?

My apprenticeship teacher teaches CAD, engineering and design stuff. Maybe I can sign up next year. If any of y'all want to donate me a printer lol (for home). And are the 3d program apps on laptop free?

Fusion 360 is free for personal use, and you should learn it first. Download the personal use version here.

Yeah, we learned cad 2 years ago. We use Onshape.

That looks interesting. Never heard of it though.

Beh, questa è sicuramente una build interessante. Questo è il mio tentativo di stampare in 3D un RC Buggy da corsa. Questa cosa è in scala 10TH 4WD e ha una trasmissione a cinghia. Finora non ho comprato niente per questa build se non gli alberi di trasmissione e ho riutilizzato alcune delle mie viti. Ecco i miei progressi attuali: View attachment 210308View attachment 210309View attachment 210310 la carrozzeria e l'ala sono stampate in filamento PLA mentre il resto è stampato in PETG. Mentre guido l'auto costruita, testerò diversi tipi di filamenti per cercare di rendere questa cosa il più resistente possibile. La build è iniziata tecnicamente il 19 ottobre, ma non ho avuto la possibilità di postare la build fino ad ora. Cosa ho: tutte le parti stampate in 3D, pneumatici (non ruote), una piccola ventola da un Arrma GROM e alcuni alberi di trasmissione che sono in arrivo. Cosa mi serve: tutti i cuscinetti e le viti, cinghie di trasmissione, HW 10BL120 Sensored, motore Brushless 13.5T, un bel servo, un RX per il mio RC4 e alcune batterie corte. (Più alcune cose che probabilmente ho dimenticato) Ho intenzione di procurarmi la maggior parte dei pezzi da un venditore chiamato RCPrinter. Lui realizza kit per molti progetti diversi stampabili in 3D. L'elettronica arriverà da ogni dove. Ho intenzione di evadere l'ordine RCPrinter il prima possibile. L'elettronica potrebbe richiedere un po' di tempo. Non ho progettato io questo buggy. Ho intenzione di usare ciò che imparo per fare del mio meglio per progettare un buggy 2WD in scala 10TH da abbinare a questa build. Nel complesso sono molto emozionato di finire questa build e di strappare! Restate in attesa di futuri aggiornamenti! Aspettatevi un sacco di cose per Natale. Ci vediamo allora!

Great

Bearings arrived a couple days back. Got some work done. Now I just need diffs, shocks, electronics!

I don’t have a Dremel tho. I need one to cut some rods for the hinge pins. So gotta find myself one of those. Other then that we’re reaching completion!

Amazing little buggy man. Nicely done. I may have to print one of these.

 

[luke66]

Thank you sir,

Yes, I'd be very interested in seeing what other people build with this. It's a super cool design.

 

[luke66]

Got a Dremel. Made some of the pins. Finishing tomorrow.

 

[luke66]

Cut some more hinge pins today!
Looks so much more complete. Also ordered some more parts.

Here’s what’s coming:
Shocks,
Bearings,
Turnbuckle rods,
Pillow BALLS,
Servo,
Diffs,
What I need:
ESC/Motor,
RX.

So close!
