3D printer file info

3D model description

To fit the shell i trimmed down the point of the chassi to the level of the bumper mounts and notched the bottom of the front of the beetle shell maybe 3mm.

The files for this are the front+rear mounts, they attach to the chassi using regular screws left over from the Grasshopper kit.
And a cover for the trimmed down front, i used 18mm screws through the bumper and into it from below.

(ignore the hole in the battery compartment, it is unrelated to mounting the shell, my 2s 5000mah battery didnt fit so i removed the rear wall of the compartment and cut the hole in the top so the power/balance leads are protected inside of the tub.)

Files are oriented for maximal strength when printed, the prints will require supports.

Ive got front wishbone and rear hornet conversions installed on my Sand Hopper, highly recommended, they can be found here:
