Subbed! Am I right by saying you used prusament PLA Galaxy Black? Also, if you have parts that break easily, a good CoPA such as from the likes of Polymaker will make really durable parts. I like Polymaker's CoPAs because they are designed to be a lot more easy to print than others, although it is expensive.
@@lio1234234 That's correct! It's Prusament PLA Galaxy Black! Never tried CoPA before but I keep it as an option. I'm tempted to try the new Prusament PC Blend Carbon Fiber as well.
@@LeandroLinares true that one does sound good, I imagine it's very rigid, not sure of its durability though. Also, nylon is a great one for gears due to its naturally lubricating properties 👍
i stumbled upon this video.. i really love the concept behind 3D printing rc parts.. it has inspired me to replace some parts on my rc truck with 3d printed parts.. love the video.
@@LeandroLinares On my side I've to sand every parts before assembling them; the screws and bearing are not fitting well. Did you print parts @100% scale ?
I printed everything at 100% scale, yes. The screws were ok-ish during the assembly. Now all of them are not fitting well. I wish I shrank the holes or something beforehand.
Hey, nice to hear! The most tricky part for me were the screws and how they fit into the printed parts. It mostly depends on each printer, so pay attention on the size of the holes and change their size if you need to.
For things like the motor mount use a nut on one side not just threading into the plastic Also don't use 3d printing when it's not necessary for things like the diffs as they could be much weaker then metal ones Remember to use bearings as well
@@wisty0819 looks awesome The only thing I'd add is some none 3d printed wheels with proper tyres or add tyres to 3d printed ones And use some oil filled shocks for a better dampening effect
One thing about steering: in center position, servo arm should be perpendicular to link that goes to steering. Also, I can recommend using PLA+ on arms etc, it'd less brittle than the standard one. And PETG for gears
Every rc build I have done, I have used pla+. It is indeed much less brittle and works well for this type of project. Sometimes it even surprises me on it's strength
@@davper8619 that's not needed for majority of parts apart for some around the motor - and PETG might be too soft there. PLA is much easier to print with uniform strength - lthough it's more brittle overall. PETG can be also printed with good layer adhesion, but it takes more effort to nail it.
@@Papinak2 well that good to hear. So I got His manual and the approx bill for parts besides 3D printing was around 600$ euros, am I looking at it wrong or is that normal for rc cars
Super cool! Hopefully I can get around to posting a video of my (mostly) 3D printed RC car soon. I had such a blast designing it and you really get that sense of satisfaction when it just shreds! I found that printing select parts in TPU can actually prevent breaks from small hits on curbs and whatnot.
Can't wait to see the video! You made me realize I never mentioned in the video that the white parts are actually printed in TPU (Ninjatek Cheetah). The one on the front below the differential gearbox absorbs any hit to the front transmission.
Leandro, realmente TE FELICITO! Que lindo ver que has crecido en todo sentido y llegado tan lejos. Te mando un saludo enorme. Aunque no hablamos mucho, alguna vez fuimos vecinos en la vieja Villa España.... Abrazo!!
YES! In this case it's not my design, but my print. I've been following the designer while he creates the next version of this rc car instagram.com/engineeringns/
9:30 A note on those bullet connectors: Without any soldering, you can place the wire in the connector and hold it in place using some helping hands. Then you can heat up the connector with your iron and feed solder into the connector using that hole in the side which is its intended use. This way the flux in the solder will clean everything and produce a nice solder joint. Cheers! Oh, and then at 9:50 with the heat shrink, you can have heat shrink cover the whole female connector so there's no exposed conductor to short with the other connectors when everything is plugged in.
Hi Leandro, this is cool. We were solving problem with PLA melting in our project. Solutiotion is to use ASA or CPE for the parts with friction. And also use brushless motors. They dont heat as brushed.
I was thinking to try PETG for those parts and if it wasn't enough maybe some PC blend (carbon fiber). I hope that's more than enough haha. About the motor: I'm using a brushless motor and I agree it doesn't heat up as much as a brushed one.
Yeah, in fact it took me so long that you can see after the first half of the video I started learning and experimenting more about lighting in photography :D
AWESOME video, of a cool project! The rate that I manage to break my RC cars, I'm anxious to try 3D printing one of these cars. This way I can simply print a replacement part when they break!
lubricate the gears with a liquid lubricant that doesn't penetrate and that should allow for higher speeds. I tried something similar and that worked pretty well.
very cool project 👍👍 if I can give you a few tips: use threaded inserts, so you are much quicker to assembly. I attached the engine directly to the tire, which makes many mechanical parts unnecessary.
@@LeandroLinares standard brass nozzle, but you need an all metal hotend to print it as you need to print at around 290°c and ptfe will break down really quickly at that temp
Save $150. Wait for an ender 3 to be on sale for $100 (be patient), use $50 for some starting pla and such. Hardest part is finding out how to make the $150 lol. Just depends on your age
I love 3D printed stuff, but it's always super clear that it lacks the strength of molded parts. Would be amazing to find some way to have the best of both worlds.
The best rc video i've ever seen. Is there any possibilty to share with me the stl document? I'm mechanical engineer and i have bought "crealtiy K1 3d printer" just yet. This project is absouletly looks like my dream.

Ahhhh, that makes WAY more sense. Thank you so much.
Also, plenty of thick gear grease should have been addded to all the gearsboxes, espcially the main reductor gearbox.
Is there a reason why you would not simply crimp them? I crimp every connection similar to those and never had any problems.
@@sebastianbottger1044 They are not designed to be crimped.
Crimp connectors are terrible, they have high resistance and over time get worse until you have glitching etc
