GIANT 3D PRINTED RC EXCAVATOR BUILD PT.2
🕑 Added 2023-02-14 14:55:37 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I finished the excavator at last! This thing is lots of fun and very fragile. I, again, went too far and this thing is too big for this kind of design. I recon I could try a different design using the blocks to make an excavator at this scale that doesn't "autodisintegrate".
I'll send you all a 100% discount code for my store so you can go and grab the files for the blocks just in case you liked them and want to try them by yourselves.
The choice of using servos was on one side poorly made because they lack power and speed and in the other side poorly made because there's no feedback position so any minor distraction makes the thing implode. If I were to try again something similar I would probably use linear actuators (like the ones used in beds) and would wire endstops to stop the thing form harming itself.
I broke a few screws here and there but the screws are quite reliable even though the printing orientation is not the best.
As always leave your comments and questions down below.
Thanks!!!

In this video it looks like you had a 3d printed spool holder for your filament. Is this available by chance? :)
