the test truck for the airbag setup also has a texas bumper that can scrape up ants, so i thought i'd try a flip bumper. the first version will need to be printed completely. but i'm going to try to make one that requires a couple of modifications to stock parts. credit to 802 at thingverse for the bumper, Neophyte at thingverse for the original hinge design i modified, and Steen Winther at grabcad for the mount, the servo is a pico servo from one of my micro helicopters. pics of the files for now, test parts are printing. i didn't want just a simple piano type hinge, so hopefully this one lets the bumper swing up and out a bit
if all goes well, this is the plan:
take off the stock front bumper mount, then print this bumper piece
print the new front bumper mount with the servo mounting and hinge points
print the links
backside
