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

Spent a little more time modeling in some details. Also, I started working on some motor mounts. I plan to use Pololu 25D motors for motivation so I have been designing the mounting system based around those.





The mounts are integrated into the main chassis tub to tie everything together for strength. There are caps that get bonded to the bottom to cover the exposed part of the motor, and the end mounts get screwed and pinned to the main chassis. I think it should all be pretty solid.



I designed a fan shroud that works with a 60mm computer fan to help keep things cool inside and provide for additional scale looks.



The hydraulic cylinder specs were finalized, and I sent some drawings off to Magom to see if they will be able to make the cylinders to my specs. I sent them an email on Sunday, but haven't heard back yet. Hopefully soon...
