Hi Daniel, this is the first time I see what you did with the shocks. very nice indeed! I thought about a way that you could mitigate the wobble of the screw in the shock. If you make a short cylinder the diameter of the bore and tap it you could run that down the screw to the head before assembling the shock, that cylinder would not allow the head of the screw to move as the shock works, it would alleviate that bowlegged stance.
I love this spring idea! Almost similar technology (or at least methodology) used in nuclear weapons and satellites, should check this video: watch?v=97t7Xj_iBv0
I love the Truggy and hope to build it sometime soon.
Great work Daniel.
+Spike Kent Sounds awesome, do share some pics of your progress if you decide to build one!
That goes without saying mate, it's the least I can do.
Just need to find the time to start the build :-)
So brilliant Daniel, 3D printed shocks. Impressive work as always.
+Print 3D Channel Thanks! Just playing around was way better than expected.
Interesting spring design. I like it!!!
+Jimmy Shaw's Tidbits Thanks and that makes two of us... ;-)

Think i will have to build this car! Great video!
+Pär Andersson Thanks Pär, and I definitely agree! ;-)
probably would work better if there is a damping component in this shock absorber
Had no idea there was something called a truggy lmao
Why not just design a pushrod style suspension with 3d printed molds to mold silicone into a tension style spring.
Next level: 3D printed motor.
What filament did you used???
I think that was done with PCTPE from Taulman 3D if I remember correctly. You can read more here: taulman3d.com/pctpe-features.html
So cool man👍

First
Just a friction suspension but a Gr8 Concept
