Over the 2024 offseason, team 3038 would like to proudly present, our release of team 3737 3d printed swerve drive. After building and testing team 3737’s release we had a few things we wanted to change to better fit our needs. These include the following:

  1. Standardized as much hardware as possible
  2. Added part numbers to 3D printed parts where possible
  3. Added threaded inserts in the housing lid
  4. Changed the mounting hole spacing to fit REV Robotics MAX tubing
  5. Changed of the overall shape of the housing
  6. Added part numbers to the instructions, plan to add pictures and drawings in the future
  7. Plan on adding other motor configurations eg. krakens

THIS DESIGN HAS NOT BEEN TESTED EITHER IN PRACTICE OR COMPETITION! It is our intent to use this design in the 2025 season and then revise any parts that need improvements.

With any question’s just ask we will try to answer to the best of our ability

Hi, excellent work and thanks for the credit! I’d be interested in a quick hit on the standardized components. That is something we always try to do and have clearly missed some things.

From the image presented, it appears that the side tapers have been removed; obviously necessary for your chosen mounting configuration. Do be aware that the side tapers were included to avoid all possible shock loads transmitted through the bumpers flexing from an impact. ie: Our design makes the swerve drives non-stressed members of the chassis, a critical component of a 3D printed swerve drive.

I’m sure you will but do post your experience as I expect many teams would prefer an alternative option to our original top mounting design.

I wish you the very best this year!

Cheers,

Derek
