So it seems my nano2 is a little broken and doesn't work the servo. I can still use it to drive so it may make its way in to a pusher at some point. Anyway i need a new esc as I have a flipper printed and ready to build. I had taken the easy option of a nano2 as it was good to go. Anyone want to sug...

Thanks guys. I had 8mm lol. Back to the drawing board. Looking at a printer for xmas so no doubt ill be back with more questions

Cheers

Thanks. Looks like my bot is a little tubby in places. Specifically though, how thick do people print the chassis floor? is 2mm going to be enough or should it be more?

Cheers

Thanks Eddie. As a novice to 3d printing i'm just trying to learn the basics at the mo. I was hoping to do a prototype in PLA and then once the design is right get it printed in ABS (if that is the right thing to do?) I guess the the more infill the stronger and narrower the chassis could be? My pre...

Morning

Just a quick one. I've taken the plunge and started designing an ant on Tinkercad which i hope to get printed at some stage. What sort of thickness do people use for the chassis floor and external walls? Is there a standard measurement that people use?

Thanks

So we finally got round to putting something together. This ant was meant to be a test bot really so my son and I could get used to the build process and driving before making a named battle bot. However i'm quite pleased with the aesthetics of the ant and it works pretty well. Its a little overweig...

Thanks guys. Makes sense now. Was just expecting the deviation screen on startup. Thanks again

Evening Just downloaded the Deviation software to my Devo 7e and on start up a message states: 'Ch3 is 0% safe value = -100%' The ch3 value changes as i move the left stick. Have I done something wrong with the setup? Is this something to worry about? I'm not familiar with this sort of thing so lear...

Thanks Alex. Is that why some ants have a bit of elastic on the flipper? Sure i've sen this somewhere

What hv servos make good grabbers then?

Cheers

EddieJ - Thanks that is a generous offer. Zero CAD skill though, we are designing on paper and cardboard! It was a off the cuff comment and Extreme Robots 'we could make one of those Ants' now my son won't let it go and is holding me to it. I think we will see how the first one goes and if he stays ...
