    I finished the excavator at last! This thing is lots of fun and very fragile. I, again, went too far and this thing is too big for this kind of design. I recon I could try a different design using the blocks to make an excavator at this scale that doesn't "autodisintegrate".
    The choice of using servos was on one side poorly made because they lack power and speed and in the other side poorly made because there's no feedback position so any minor distraction makes the thing implode. If I were to try again something similar I would probably use linear actuators (like the ones used in beds) and would wire endstops to stop the thing form harming itself.
    I broke a few screws here and there but the screws are quite reliable even though the printing orientation is not the best.

    It would be really cool if you had a public live cam overhead of your printer. It seems your printer probably never stops! I'd like to know how long it took to print all the parts for the tracks... that's a lot of pieces!

    With the ever increasing weight of projects it might be fun to design a hoist to lift and lower. I was thinking 2 ladders for the sides. Maybe on wheels so you won't need to move the table. Strong bar across the top, and a pulley system or manual hoist for lifting and lowering. Also, thick straps of course. Love to see what you come up with next.

    @ObsessiveEngineering Рік тому +1

    Super awesome and impressive! It seems like everything-red is your thing, but this would look infinitely better if you mixed in a second color like black or gray for some classes of components. At a minimum, all screws could be in the highlight color. And maybe something obscure like all exactly-4-length joiner pieces or something like that. It would not only look better, it would *really* help the features of the engineering standout.
    For the loose parts, you could try tapering the threaded holes narrower at the bottom, so you get tighter friction/pressure on the last turn. A ridiculous alternative (and you seem like you're into ridiculous), is that you could make the equivalent of lock washer out of TPU - a thin, low-infill ring that compresses under the screw head.

    it's awesome how there are a certain set of pieces

    which can all be assembled to create stuff like this
    along with some specialized pieces like the wheel sprockets and gears
    the threaded screw heads are also genius
    and it all goes together so well
    along with the fact that you can custom size all the pieces and print them out
    also the different length screwdrivers and holes through both sides of the blocks allows for easy access
    since you can put a screwdriver straight though
    little quirks like that
    really well designed system
    I just absolutely love it

Even then I suspect it would not be really practical as that thing is already so heavy and it is all only made in PLA.

    all you need to do is cover it in sand or salt then place it in a mini oven get it to the temp where it just starts to melt then let it cool. that should make the part solid.
    could you give it a try and see if it helps your builds rigidity? it could maybe even help you save on the filament by making smaller but stronger parts and could help with the treads breaking like on the tank.

    Would stepper motors be better for driving the treads? I guess servos don't require the additional control boards and they might have more torque.
