3D model description

A printed in place battery powered car. The frame, axles and wheels are all printed together.
No supports or screws needed.

WARNING: Print STL with gear facing down.

ITEMS NEEDED:
-130 size brushed electric motor,
-0.5 modulus 8 tooth pinion
-1 AA Battery

-wire or copper contacts to connect motor and battery

OPTIONAL:
-4 Orings - ID 19.5, 2mm thickness (only needed if you don't want to print the included TPU tires)

-two 2mm shaft, about 50mm long - to insert inside the axles, as reinforcement

  • I included 2 sectioned pieces of the chassis so you can test your settings before printing the whole thing: pipRACER_gears_test.stl and pipRACER_motorhook_test.stl

  • I included a STEP file so you can open it in a CAD program, and edit it.

3D printing settings


NOZZLE SIZE

0.4mm
!! Larger nozzle size will NOT work
!! Smaller nozzle size will work


LAYER HEIGHT

0.2mm
!! Larger layer height will NOT work
!! Smaller layer height will work


SUGGESTED NOZZLE TEMPERATURE

PLA: 199-203
PETG: 235


BED TEMPERATURE

PLA: 60
PETG: 60


SPEED

PLA: 50mm/s
PETG: 35mm/s
!! I do not recommend printing faster than this. It has tight tolerances. Printing too fast will cause the wheels to fuse and not spin.

PLA: 100%
PETG: 50%


INFILL

20-60%
!! I usually do 25%


BRIM

Not necessary, but can be added if it's having trouble sticking to your print bed.
