LOL, I caught the "no need for new bearings" right when you showed that decided to remove the offset between holes. Also, maybe you used the offset for reinforcement? Because with 4 holes aligned you kinda "weakened" those spots, you might end up considering changing infill settings and perimeters to compensate for that. Keep going, this project is awesome!

I really related to this video and am sort of glad I'm not printing gigantic parts. I'm designing a robot tank working out from a set of tracks and sprockets I found online. It's a lot of printing parts, learning to make better models and improving assembly. I had a piece of what I hope will be the chassis of my tank out of PolyLite Pro. I'm glad I went with the bright orange.

Can you make a nut that goes all of the way through your blocks? You could make a few different pitches. You could have a single pitch nut, a two pitch nut and more. You can then snap it in and drive a screw into the nut from both sides, like your bolt nut, just on the same axis.

Then do as he says and "Make Somethiiinnnggg!" I'm planning a large format "Printrbot" due to lack of space for a coreXY setup. The printer arm will be on a rigid suspension and rotates out of the way to let the bed fold up into it. Another option I was considering would be a polar kinetics 3D printer to reduce and minimize setup even further, but the Kinematics will be a pain to figure out (for now)

My theory, re: 'I don't remember the reason for offsetting the holes' you added the offsets because it makes the parts stronger. Also before the screws received a larger diameter the offsets allowed interconnecting crossed sections closer to eachother!

@grantweaver7572 Жыл бұрын

Taper the middle of the shoulder bolts you made so that it doesn’t interfere, it should be just as strong as the full threaded bolts

@ivanmirandawastaken Жыл бұрын

You don’t know where the middle is. Bolts may be clamping a quarter height block and a full height block and then the center is displaced a fourth of the pitch.

@jarekmace1536 Жыл бұрын

@@ivanmirandawastaken If the original, smaller diameter bolt was strong enough, and the new design is just to introduce stabilization as it passes through the blocks, maybe design the new ones more like a "beads on a string" style. They will have to reduce in diameter at a given position based on how many blocks you go through. You know how long the bolt must be to make the connection. That should mean you can plot a hemispherical concavity in the bolt where a cross-bolt would need to pass. This would include bolts with a large diameter, unless you try passing two bolts cross-wise at the same time, which I find unlikely. I know this isn't the best description, but I can't upload a napkin image.

@deathbydarwin1985 Жыл бұрын

You would know where the ends were though wouldnt you? Assuming you are using the correct length bolt for what you are trying to connect. As long as it registers at both ends you could skinny up the whole middle?

You probably offset the holes because the studs in LEGO technic blocks are offset from the holes in the same way. You did a bit of a hybrid between LEGO technic blocks and beams.

@Varue Жыл бұрын

The offset makes the minimum distance between the negative space greater, which translates to greater structural integrity. You probably had this in mind when you were designing the parts. Also, with the screws, you could have made them more of a dumbbell shape, so that they were still the right widths to fit the holes on the edges in contact with the structural beams, but skinny on the inside to provide enough clearance for inserting another screw into an adjacent hole on another face of the part.

He could go hollow cutouts. Look at some of the airless off-road tires for industrial equipment. They look a lot like a cutaway of a print, with the walls and infills. Printed in a radial format, with the sidewalls planar to the printbed, they should be a fairly easy and stable design.

@zfotoguy71 Жыл бұрын

When you have two screws that meet in the middle, you have fewer threads from each screw that are engaged. Could you make it stronger by having one screw with a tapped hole and another that screws into the first screw? You could still have them with the outside threads like it is currently and then have a smaller hole/screw that are half the diameter of the outside of the screws. You would have much better engagement of the threads and less chance of a thread failure.

@DonsArtnGames Жыл бұрын

That's assuming that there is a lateral force pulling parallel to the bolt. As it is, I'm more worried about the shearing of the bolts. HOWEVER, if there are enough bolts holding it all together, then I'm not too worried about it. The stresses would get spread out over several points and reducing/eliminating delamination.
