Re: Practical 3D printed parts

Our team has 3d printed VEXpro Gussets for our Versaframe. These have proven to be incredibly useful for prototyping and have held together our robot very well. With shortages of materials and unreliable shipping time, the gussets we printed have made a great substitution for the VEXpro ones. Only problem is that the holes are always a little bit too small but drilling them out is no problem.
