I was disappointed by the durability of my new RC Car. I solved this issue by 3D Printing some flexible TPU parts for it and did some durability testing - I wasn't able to break them! Car is a Wltoys 124019.

Soooooo, what did you use exactly? Most of the 3d printed stuff I've encountered has been brittle and its put me off getting one, I'm just learning tbh excuse my ignorance its probably a stupid question.....

@ValRC1 Год назад

Nah not stupid, I used Sainsmart TPU Filament, flexible super tough stuff, but can be a bit finicky to get printing on some printers, especially those with a Bowden extruder. There are different non-brittle options that are a bit stiffer as well, like for example Nylon or PP. The most typical and also most brittle Plastic used for 3d printing today is PLA.

@ValRC1 6 месяцев назад

Works great! I just don't recommend it for racing or speedrunning as it does make control a slight bit more imprecise because of the flex

@Sphyxx Год назад

I'd print the body of the part with more density and the ends with a bit less since theyre more prone to breaking and still keep the rigidity of harder plastics for predictability

If you want to decrease the amount of flex on that particular part, increase the number of perimeters or a harder shore TPU material.

@ValRC1 Год назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I printed these with 100% Infill, so I guess adding more perimeters wouldn't make a difference? I bet a harder shore TPU would work great though

@ripmax333 Год назад

@@ValRC1 it will make a difference, because you have to understand how the layers are put over each other. You can experiment this by printing a simple rectangular piece with PLA, lets say a 10mm wide by 50mm long, And 3mm thick. Print the first one with only 2 perimeters and a second one with 5 and try to bend them and feel the difference. Anyway, if you use the car for bashing it won’t make much of a difference but it’s something useful to know for future projects, sometimes you can also get sufficient strength with this method without using 100% infill and save some plastic.

imagine that TPU A-arms make an RC drive and turn better due to more 'flex' and maybe dampening in a way giving more grip e.g. more ground time for the tires. i could absolutely believe this but this theory isn't tested as far as i know?

You should make a full upgrade set like the aluminium upgrade sets that you can buy for these cars . I wood buy them we have 4 of these cars 2 124016 1 124018 1 124017. I am sub no 20.I live in canada.

@ValRC1 Год назад

That's a great idea but honestly, I think it would make more sense to make the arms out of this flexible plastic and then the c hubs and stuff from Aluminium. The bulkheads (a major weakpoint of these cars IMO) also can't be from a really flexible material like this, as that would make the screws rip out even more easily and maybe even make the gears not mesh correctly under load due to the flexibility

@benabnjm4828 Год назад

@@ValRC1 That is a good point . The a arms and a bumper like the lc racing one with the foam in it but without the foam would be hot sellers .

Hi what would be the best cheap printer to get for making parts like this thanks. Wont be long and you will be up to 200 subs way to go.

Not sure about the current 3d printer market as I've had this one for like 7 years and am happy with it, but you should look for one that can print TPU Filament well (Filament used in this video is Sainsmart Blue 95A TPU)

@bra1nc417d Год назад

This is a sure way to bend your dogbones/CVDs. Since those arms absorb, virtually nothing, all the impact is transferred to those metal parts, and surrounding plastic parts. This much flex, is just too much.

@ValRC1 Год назад

Nah they're fine, the wltoys CVDs are usually very weak anyways but I didn't notice any changes with that once I put these on. I did make a stiffer version in the meantime though

@kevinh6526 Год назад

If you can make them that tuff why can't the manufacturers or is that too obvious

@ValRC1 11 месяцев назад

Probably because it's cheaper this way, making them out of cheap hard, super brittle plastic

@dirtbikedion3233 Год назад

Pretty sure the new models are aluminum.

@ValRC1 Год назад

I'm pretty sure they're still plastic, but you really don't want aluminum for these specific parts anyways. That would just transfer the impact force further into the car, breaking parts that are harder to replace. You want these to either break or absorb the impact.
