Re: Practical 3D printed parts

Our team only used a few 3d parts this year:

The first part that we made was a cover for the leads on a Banebot RS775 motor. The way we had attached the motors the leads were just sitting out in the open, and they could have been easily damaged. So we created this piece that we zip-tied onto the motor that covered the leads.

The second part was a little box that attached to the top of our 8 slot cRIO that we could attach the digital sidecar to. We had seen another team do something like this, and we implemented it to save space. It is actually 5 separate pieces, the large box in the center where the sidecar is actually bolted to, and the 4 legs that are press fit into the sides of the box and cRIO. If we ever need to remove it from the cRIO, we simply remove the legs and it comes off easily.
