Starting my build

[SC-Maik]

Greetings from Greece,

Today I've ordered all 3D parts (excluding rods) for around 65USD. All black PLA 70%-100% filling, 100-200 microns resolution depending on part. Estimated printing time 21 hours.
Electronics (Digikey/Sparkfun) and Traxxas rod ends are on the way (order placed yesterday). I don't remember exact cost + shipping atm but I will be back with it.
Now I will have to find parts similar to McMaster from a European distributor.

I am so excited!

Pics coming soon.

Tension springs proved to be the most challenging part to acquire. Fortunately I’ve found a company near me that will produce them for me.
Good thing that McMaster provides all info and drawings to do so.

That's going to look great in black. Can't wait to see the completed project!

Looking good. That printrbot prints some nice looking parts, what kind of filament?

[SC-Maik]

Yeah, it looks better than expected.

PrimaPLA 1.75 was used for printing
