Fully 3D Printed TANK / Tracked Robot Platform

I ordered the custom designed PCB from PCBWay: www.pcbway.com/?from=HowToMechatronics Check out my favorite 3D printers, the K1 Max: amzn.to/3txQUC6 or if you are on a budget, the Ender-3 V3 SE: amzn.to/3FkCPus Thanks everyone supporting me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/howtomechatronics I'm looking forward to upgrade this robot platform with both a robotic arm and a turret. Stay tuned!

The amount of design work and detail that went into this, is insane - thanks for sharing!

This is basically my thesis project for my robotics degree, but you knew what you were doing, had money, time and tools lmao. Nice to see what could've been. Yours is also waaay more of what I thought my project was gonna turn out like.

Yes, a turret would be NICE!!! Please make the turret!

Most professional and thorough video I have ever seen on building something like this! Keep up the good work.

Tracks take a surprising amount of torque to run, particularly when turning. That's why some toy tanks have slips built into the gearing in order to not overload the motor/controllers.

Absolutely awesome design, and im glad I came across this! Nothing else like it thats fully 3Dprintable and FREE! I have a 3D printed model snowblower i will be attaching to this, I plan to modify the files of the track and get a bit more clearance so it can work in snow, but the size is perfect! As a note, for the control of the motors, you can use regular speed controllers and just use mixes on the radio to completely skip having to use a PCB and program it; I have done this on a few smaller RC tracked vehicle projects and works quite well! There are a few online videos for setting this up.

This is a great design! I already have most of the parts and I will attempt to make it! Thank you! Looking forward to future upgrades :)

Nice design. Extraordinary 3D printed endeavor! I was unaware until now of the Solidworks for makers, great tip!

if you want the best tracks use a outside sproket like the ones you see on t72 or t90 and Abrams. some are double pinned but single pin is fine also. and a tall track horn helps to keep things in line

Simply fantastic, thank you for your job and explanations !

Awesome details in this project! I am especially impressed by the details around the track and the suspension. Perfect for my next project, when my Voron 2.4 is up and running. Thank you for your effort and transparency!

Thank you for such a well explained and detailed video.

A great and inspiring project. using your own microcontroller with your own software opens up a lot of great possibilities and applications. Great write up of what and how and why you did it the way you did. I have an immediate desire to do such a project as well. I personally am very close to mechanics and manufacturing. I'm much worse with electronics, I couldn't invent electronics for peripherals on my own. and that limits me. However, videos like this inspire me and make me want to educate myself further and maybe start studying electronics. Because as you can see, when you master all these fields, you can do anything. Thanks for sharing.

VERY COOL! Excellent work!

Awesome work & lots of ideas presented. Thanks for sharing ❤

dude AWESOME VIDEO, so cool that you are doing this concept

Awesome design. The best diy engineering channel on YouTube.

The track system and its suspension is amazing, I'm printing it for my project now

Wow! Saw now. Thanks! Great channel!
