Dyne's LD-F1 (D-O concept) build

[Dyne]

Punting sounds like a good plan

Though it is probably a bit annoying that the battery is probably where the servo'd need to go.

Yeah. If I changed the pivot of the green stalks to two bolts pointing outward rather than one long through-bolt, I could concievably move the battery a little further back, but the rear axle prevents it from going far enough to get out of the way of the servo.

I could also make the rear axle a pair of bolts like I had in my photo of the real chassis, but that's a bit trickier because it's also the rear body hinge, and like I said for the front one, I favor a full axle for strength.

Also notice that when the engine hoist is in the working position (parallel to the ground), the ram is nearly 90 degrees to the arm. That's actually kind of what I was thinking when first considering your problem - you really need it mounted vertically (but there's not enough room I'm pretty sure).

Yeah, space is an issue. The servo I have is 102 millimeters minimum ... very slightly more than 4 inches long. It has to have some structure both above and below the ends for mounting to allow for rotation and wire clearance.

Between ground clearance and the thickness of the shell, there is probably around 3 - 3.5 inches maximum vertical space in there, and that assumes the battery isn't in the way.

Anyway, you're build's looking good! Impressive pace you're setting.

Thank you.


It seems I spoke too soon on my printer being back to normal, however. I got those black PETG chassis prints and my Four-nines prints done in orange PLA without issue.

As soon as I put the silver petg on to run some toothed wheels for LD-F1, I once again had quality issues near the top of the print. I'm not sure if the spool is bad or something else is going on. We'll see how it goes with other spools.
