The "Baby Blue Racer"!

[M.Hboards]

I would think that with a seal around your enclosure it would be plenty water proof

It already has a seal!

Also you have any interest in sharing your .stl with us?

Yeah I think I’m fine with sharing it, just pm with your email and I’ll try to dig it up on my computer

[Myke]

Ok I’ll pm you. I know you said it did, I just meant with it already on there it should be plenty good enough.

That thing is so sexy wow! Hows the board and makerx holding up

[M.Hboards]

Just did the first real ride with it yesterday! The esc is going great but the 3d printed pulleys aren’t. Printing some pulleys in abs now. I hope those will hold up better.

@M.Hboards

The esc is going great but the 3d printed pulleys aren’t. Printing some pulleys in abs now. I hope those will hold up better.

@mishrasubhransu do you have any tips for printing with abs? The biggest issue I’m having is the pins going into the wheel are snapping. You have any idea on how to prevent this?

[mishrasubhransu]

Can you show me the part ? And the model that you are using?

Edit: Found your pulley. Well it will break. Only nylon might be able to sustain those forces on those skinny pegs. What I suggest you do is find dowels from your local hardware store that goes into the kegel holes just right and then modify your design to have holes which tightly hold those dowels in place of 3D printed pins.

New modular/interchangeable press-fit pulley for Kegel wheels that require no modification to Cal ll trucks!

Hey guys I’ve been working on making a kegel press fit pulley that fits Cal ll trucks without modification (of course it will fit other trucks as well) for the last few weeks and I think I have finally have a design that’s almost near perfect! ( still need to make some minor tweaks) First some pictures of the 3d printed prototype pulley installed- [0810192225b~2] [0810192225a~2] The pulley uses a flanged 608 bearing that shares a bearing seat with the wheel. The difference between this design…

[mishrasubhransu]

Such an awesome build BTW, I somehow had missed this.

[M.Hboards]

Do you think useing 10 pins instead of 5 will help?

Like this-

[mishrasubhransu]

Of course. And if you let superglue soak in. That will add to the strength too. But I highly recommend the dowel idea.

[M.Hboards]

@mishrasubhransu how would I secure the dowel to the part? Just press it it?

[mishrasubhransu]

yes. Pressfit(+superglue maybe). There is no axial force so it’s not going to come out.

[mmaner]

I have printed camera mounts with a hole through the center of the pin and used a paper clip, or anything with a small diameter and metal, and glue it in the hole. It’s pretty simple…straighten a paper clip or mostly anything rigid and metal, mix up a little 2-step epoxy and put some in the hole, tap in the metal piece, let it cure for overnight.

Would this work if cut to size?

[gustavthemighty]

I have used those rods in a higher stress application and they haven’t failed on me yet.

[mishrasubhransu]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Schtekarsten]

wait how the f do you fit a press fit pulleys on a regular length cal 2 axle? or am I missing something in my life?

[M.Hboards]

The design was simple enough-

I’ll prob try this next week.

[mishrasubhransu]

You can get away with fewer dowels, since it’s steel.

[murdomeek]

any screws of that diameter?
might be able to try that

[mishrasubhransu]

M5 should work.
