Just got a 3D printer, what can/can't I print for esk8 parts?

Would you mind sharing the motor mount STL? Looks like a good fit for a small double kicktail I’m working on.

I’ve been using my ABS wheel pulley for more than 300km and just a little wear

40% infill, the most important thing is to adjust the extrusion width so that your teeth has no voids inside it, and increasing the perimeters to 5 also help

Sure I’ll upload them later just keep in mind these were designed specifically for the gullwing sidewinder 2 trucks they don’t clamp but use the shape of the truck and get filled with around 2cm3 of epoxy.

a SPARKLE mod for your GT2B !

Maybe some nice 18650 stuff:

I uploaded the mount and the cover. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2136912

Thx @Shogu12 ! This leads to a 404 error… if you haven’t seen thingierse’s 404 before, it’s pretty funny!

I have been using all 3d printed parts on my longboard; Both big and small gears, motor mount.

I chose to use a sheet of aluminum to build a casing for my lipos for 2 reasons. More fire proof than plastic, I hate waiting long prints.

@Shogu12 got ya! Thanks looking forward to seeing it when available!

Thank you sir

would that not be a little thick for the bottom of a board? or are you doing a mountain board with the battery between your legs?

battery between legs is my plan, then I dont have to worry about rocks or other crap hitting it.

Emtb @Karmannghiagirl!

Hell yea :sunglasses:

I guess the weather is turning …ur mind is toward spring and summer

So many kits available…I’m interested in the direction you will be going with your board with such a huge pack

Just got me a Tevo Tarantula for under $200 from the aliexpress anniversary sale. Can’t wait to start printing stuff.

While, I don’t have a great amount of experience with printing, if you’re able to add a small radius to the corners of the mount where it slides onto the truck your failure rate will decrease significantly.

Also does the failure surface look shiney near the corner?

I printed my whole truck motor mount and pulleys from PLA

Wheel pulley was later replaced with a PETG one and motor gear switched to metal

That looks like it’s holding out surprisingly well. I imagine if you print it with ABS it would be even more durable?
