Re: Unique Custom Made Parts

The Aztechs 3D printed a lot of parts on our robot.

1. The battery holder with a power switch plate.

2. All the bearing holders for our wheel axles. This was really cool, because we ended up printing it so that the bearing was inside of the print by printing half, placing the bearing in, and then printing the rest. We tested the shear force it would take to break the printing, and when we got 110 lbs of lateral force, the bearing broke before the actual printing did.

3. Limit switch mounts. This allowed for fine-tuned adjusting when necessary.

4. Camera mount

5. Motor Holder for our planetary gear motor for our lift mechanism.


If you guys want any of these CAD files PM me. I'm super happy to share.
