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.

Sweet! It is always awesome to see someone using this technology to creatively and efficiently solve a solution. Hopefully next season you can find more ways to implement this technology into your robot!

OWilliamson, do you have the link to the part for the sidecar mount or where I can find it?

Thumbs up Re: Practical 3D printed parts

[quote=Gregor;1305458] The bright orange plastic parts were 3D printed. They were used kind of like spacers between the sheet metal of the bridge appendage, to support them so they didn't cave in.

Re: Practical 3D printed parts

After the CAD team is done, print out the robot, give a copy to each mentor and put one copy on a bookshelf to remember the year!

We will probably change to Talons sometime - but we still have such a large stock of Jags, and get two more each year, who knows when that will be?

Re: Practical 3D printed parts

I have tried to tag everything on Thingiverse that is for FRC with FIRST Robotics and FRC. We have printed our Versa Gearbox motor mounts on a solid abs setting, and they have worked so far.

Re: Practical 3D printed parts

We like to use 3d printing for prototyping and replacing/modifying COTS plastic parts. We are currently using 3d printed parts to interface with colson wheels, as thicker versa hubs, spacers, and as a replacement for the battery mounting bracket. In the past we have printed pulleys, wheel inserts, and even 80-20 end caps.

We made a load of hex spacers yesterday for use on our competition robot.

Re: Practical 3D printed parts

So far, about half of our practice bot is made of printed parts, mostly because we needed more stuff from vex pro than we could reasonably get in time. Nearly all our gussets, some of our HTD pulleys, and our battery box. Of course, the competition bot won't have all this stuff (though the box will probably stay), but it made our build much quicker and more economical.

Re: Practical 3D printed parts

We print out battery holders. They have our logos on them and they have strain reliefs for the wires. Plus, it makes them way easier to hold and are plenty strong.

Could you upload an example image of the CAD or of a real life example? That sounds like an interesting use of a printer.

I tried looking for a picture, but I couldn't find one. I'll post a picture of one tonight or tomorrow, as well as maybe the STL file
