Re: 3D printing a Tank track.
Hi Brandon, Emile,
You are correct the plastic is pretty useless on carpet from a traction perspective. The threads themselves have recessed rectangles on the bottom.
These were included after our first attempt so that we could glue strips of
a Gates drive belt ( from the KoP ) to increase the traction. We just started
experimenting with this last weekend and so far it looks pretty good.
Attached is an image of an early experiment where we just glued belt
strips to the flat threads, they were easily sheared off so we added the
recesses.
I will see about getting some some videos also.
Best Regards,
Colm.
