Had some time today, first I resized the axles.
![]() ![]() ![]() Just couldn't resist putting the axle in position. I used some temp wood dowels to align the axle to the axle support beam. Then I made the exterior attachment point. I must say I am pleased with the results. So I wanted to see what it would look like with a wheel and tire on the end. I used an rc4wd 1.55 rock crusher tire(?) with a 3.5 inch dia. This just inspired me to continue with more drooling. Thanks for looking. Last edited by Car5858; 05-23-2011 at 10:13 PM. |

Made up another drive axle, still do not know what I will come up with for the input / output pinion covers. I need to make up the steering axles next.
Thanks for looking |

Since the wether went south, I spent the time modeling the axles in 3d. Came out really well, and shows the way I changed the axle lengths.
Thanks for looking |

Thanks SmallHaul
![]() Had some time today, the weather is nice for once this last week. I made up the rear steering axle. Using parts from a TLT-1 axle I had to shorten the shafts. Tied them togather inside the axle housing with a coupler, then locked in place with 4-40 set screws. Came out really nice, now I have to make the yokes. Thanks for looking ![]() |

I got a package from UPS today,
![]() ![]() ![]() I did do a temp fit-up, and found that the design of the bearing housing was missing needed reinforcement (exposed internal bearing). So I will have to redesign that part. Since I did not request a specific color, the parts came in cream color ABS . I did not request a smooth finish due to the extra cost. Over all the parts are as designed, so 3D printing has come a long way in the last couple years. The parts are a little rough with ridges about .003 inches apart and produces a really nice look (to me). The service provider was fast with the production and shipped the parts the next day. I cant ask for better than that ![]() So now you guy's have an idea of what the axles will look like when finished. If you need to make a one off part for a master or installation I think this is a good alternative to machining for a couple of days. I have started on the front spring assemblies but not enough progress to show. Thanks for looking Carl Last edited by Car5858; 06-02-2011 at 07:09 PM. Reason: Material type correction |

3D Protoprinters are amazingly cool! Are you casting the diff covers in metal or something else? This is a very good build and your workmanship is great. Looking forward to seeing this thing move.
Ken
