Default Re: 3D Printed CAT 963K Track Loader w/Raspberry Pi Control

Managed to get a few more parts printed and some hardware ordered. I now have over half the tracks printed (38 per side) and the hardware to link them together.




The front idlers are printed also. I chose to print them in halves to make it easier to get the concave dish to print well. 2mm dowel pins are used for alignment and then they are bonded together with acetone.








The drive sprockets were also printed. They bolted up to the motor hubs perfectly, and line up well with the tracks. There is a dummy planetary unit that will hide the screws and provide a more scale appearance.






I was also able to finalize my cylinder designs and get an order placed with Magom for the hydraulic system. I am looking forward to getting that stuff in so I can finalize my main chassis design.
