Re: 3D Printed Parts on an FRC Robot?

Spacers are a good part to use a printer for. Its nice for some of the more arbitrary sizes you need based on CAD files to just hit print and have a ton made consistently.

This year we printed a ton of 1/2" hex spacers in 1/8th increments. We had a box full and it made last minute additions and testing pain free.

We also used them to save some money in our drivebase. Instead of spending almost $100 on sprocket spacers we just printed them to cut costs.
