I 3D Printed A CyberTruck… It RIPS!

[@michaelrechtin]

If you are looking to replicate this project I put together a build sheet with quantities of parts as well as some notes that might be helpful! The link is in the description

[@michaelawler]

Wifes little brother is completely inspired by this! Hes buying his first printer, Hes set on the ender 4 pro. I just hope he doesnt get overwhelmed trying to build this.. does he need to pay for onshape to use your file?

[@coblepots]

Thanks so much for this! Are any of the parts identical to the TARMO 5 or should I print everything from scratch?

[@Splarkszter]

The OnShape files seem to be broken, there are parts that aren't rendered because it says it 'failed to resolve' them.

[@stefrenes1140]

I would like to build it, but I live in Europe. Does anybody know where I can order the same parts. Some parts like the springs for the wheels I cannot find it anywhere

[@xecarfa9755]

bro is a legend for not charging a single penny on his wonderful work

[@sniperbros2610]

yep

[@Splarkszter]

Just make sure to donate to him whe he needs it, nothing is free and must support the people that give everyone ultra high quality education like this.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

I subbed as payment, even though I likely wont print it. The fourwheel steering does look great though, and I like that the body fits my K1 Max and 350mm Voron 2.4.

[@tristanball5008]

He may not charge a single penny, but he doesn’t mention in this video where he got most of the design from. Most of the original design is take from the Tarmo5 and despite being modified it still holds strong resemblances in all of the mechanisms

[@Splarkszter]

@@tristanball5008 Thank you for this information

[@NicholasRehm]

Cybertracks LETS GOOOOOOO

[@Lil_blueskies]

Nice ive had a tarmo 5 for a couple months now. 1 month ago i upgraded to your version and now im making the cybertruck. Got all parts ordered

[@3dexperiments]

This is AWESOME, definitely want more content on this!

[@Kyle_0701]

Hey Michael, yet another great project as always! Ever considered a second channel dedicated to the technical details (designing, hardware choice, troubleshoot, etc.)?

[@AArrad]

Turned out way cooler than I expected. Maybe add an X-ray in the thumbnail of the internals? When I clicked on the video, I assumed that you only designed a 3-D printed body for an RC car, it’s so much cooler that you designed the entire RC car plus the suspension system

[@scottiniowa1]

Very very cool! And free files? You rock!

[@tonyrouse6864]

Going to give this a go. Missing items from the hardware list: heatsets, batteries, receiver, controller, LED strips. It could bring in a little extra cash. Wish me luck on this build!

[@michaelrechtin]

Just added these links as well as a link to a build sheet in the description. Hope this helps!

[@RameshKumar-kb7hp]

Wow. Awesome work! You're pushing 3D printed RC cars to the limit. Cheers from India.

[@Vapeti2.0]

you could print it from PLA, but it is better to print the motor mount from ABS or PETG because that will heat up and melt the PLA.

[@ajahniepemberton1860]

na I've printed a few RC cars if you are melting the mounts your motor is running too hot

[@idiocracyBonanza]

Bro you are a legend. All your cars are just piece of art. Thinking out of the box when designing them. You made to learn onshape because of this. Well done keep them coming

[@judeackland-patel6646]

Adding Differentials and maybe a deep dive video on making a 3d printed limited slip diff would be really cool :) haven't seen anything like that on yt and they're really interesting mechanisms. love the channel as always

[@thinkdunson]

not sure a 3d printed diff would be very feasible on a small 1/10th size model, since it would have to be super bulky to withstand all the forces involved. still a good idea if he thinks he can pull it off; i'd watch.

[@judeackland-patel6646]

@@thinkdunson Yeah I think you're probably right. In fairness, lego manages it on an even smaller scale, but they're using hard injection molded plastic not flimsy fdm printed PLA. Maybe possible with resin prints or industrially printed parts with a PCBWay sponsorship?

[@jessedupreez]

I think it would be doable, I have only seen a short about the"3d printed limited slip diff"

[@theorangebaron1595]

Impressive build and engineering, reminds me of the Tarmo project. Happy New Years Michael!

[@michaelrechtin]

That’s where it started!

[@Antsmith21]

Awesome build. You have inspired me to lean CAD

[@_dimitrisbr]

Amazing video, I really wanna see more of it!

[@LIGHTBULBCODING]

EPIC Project. Well done. Cool inspiration and fun content!

[@darius5066]

Your CyberTruck works better than the real ones do!

[@turkotv6815]

a day Michael uploads is a good day!

[@GlassicGamer]

I was able to make it fit on a Bambu X1C by slicing off the hubs and printing them separately "in black" then make a 2nd cut to the back end to divide it into two pieces. I also flipped the back end upside down to give it a stronger diagonal pattern and use less support material. Overall this is a fantastic build! Great job!

[@JeroendeGroot]

Could you share your sttl's? I've printed the rest on a p1s but looking for a good way to print the body

[@GlassicGamer]

@@JeroendeGroot In the slicer there is a tool that lets you cut objects in to smaller pieces. That's how I did it.

[@pooounderscoreman]

Yess, cybertruck rules! What a dope choice to model.

[@speedtriprr537]

Looking to print my first RC car and this is it. Should work good in my k1 max. Thanks for sharing!

[@kihgu]

to be clear you do still kinda need caster on the rear axle bc it is a stearimng axle and caster helps with the "self centering" of the wheels but aside from that it looks really cool

[@AlexandruBauer]

@michaelrechtin can you consider adding in your Onshape file what screws go where? I know this is based on the Tarmo5 but it is a bit hard to track which screw where. Also your links below do not mention the m3 threaded rod, and which size it is.

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, Michael! Really well done!!! 😃 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@goiiia3774]

4:18 Perfect design !

[@Neuftrois53]

awsome mate thank you for sharing it

[@ovc4a]

very good job bro

[@cuf_]

i do rc hobby... and i have a recommendation. PLEASE use enclosed brushless motors MEANT for rc cars and same goes for the esc. that way you get proportional brakes and a better experience. a 3650 brushless motor would have fit it perfectly with a 60a fan cooled esc.

[@marranpa]

Awesome upgrades! I'll be printhinnit soon! Even though I think you should have mentioned that the original car was a Tarmo. It kind of seems that you designed the while thing from scratch and that's not the case

[@ArrakeenHD]

He did mention it, here in the comments, in the description and in the build sheet.

[@DreadCell-Productions]

Are you still working on making a RC car that can go 100mph?

[@BitCloud047]

oh wow, this is awesome man!!

[@aL3891_]

Man that's cool, id love a more in depth walk through of the cad in this project :) If you want to add to it maybe you could make the tail gate and bed cover controllable to some extent as well?

[@AlexandruBauer]

You're also missing the size of the M4 threaded rod for the steering arms

[@BPBomber]

Dude, you make the coolest projects. Can we hang out? lmao jk I’m not a weirdo, your builds just look like a ton of fun.

[@DenTeb]

Hi, Thanks for this awesome design! I still have two questions though: 1. Is there a hardware list with exact quantities of nuts and bolts, bearings, etc? 2. Can the 18mm M3 and 18mm M4 bolts be supplemented by 16mm or 20mm (18mm is hard to come by in my country for some reason..)

[@theskrript_]

Thanks a lot for the effort and time you've spent making this remarkable video and huge love for making all the files free to use. Here, you got my like

[@knoopx]

tip: dumborc receivers are cheaper and are exactly the same, they can also be used with a multi-protocol transmitter. you can also use some drone esc with am32 firmware, way better than any sub $100 esc.

[@AlexandruBauer]

@michaelrechtin, do you mind doing an update video on the wiring? I am unable to figure out the reverse function on these ESCs.

[@ChrisMuncy]

Hey Michael, absolutely love this car but where did you source the LED light strips? You don't have them on your BOM. Thanks for the video and please share if you do any updates like the tracks

[@NezihBenJemia]

What a legend thanks 👏👏👏

[@marinermerrill3884]

Great work!

[@C.G.669]

Hey! love this build and would really like to see a full build tutorial or cad breakdown if that would be possible!

[@NielsMortier]

Hey Michael, could you make a detailed build video? Little tricky to assembly. Thank you in advance.

[@adamcrouch2937]

Nice job man!

[@joojoobean_5572]

Hey! Could you share the battery you use to power this bad boy? New to the RC scene and have been trying to find similar 4S lipos that match the voltage the ESC accepts. Thanks!

[@krashanb5767]

Happy New Year!

[@SpoonerTV]

What other ESCs could be used with this as the ESC used here is either out of stock or much more expensive than the usual pricing?

[@Manu-0310]

First of all, awesome car you built there. It's extremely nice piece and I would like print it myself. Thank's for also making the files available for free. I haven't found out yet which remote control is used and how to connect it. Can someone perhaps help me further?

[@cybereaper17]

do you think you could make an easier to print and less complex version of this. One that requires less hardware such as screws and nuts. other than that absolutely love it

[@SomeRandomEnby]

Something to add to my stuff. I want to get done list

[@dumong7761]

Hello there, thank you for your amazing video. My friends and I are inspired by your project and are trying to build a 3D-printed car ourselves. We're just wondering which battery you used for this project. Thank you very much.

[@fonwoolridge]

Really great work

[@edgarbenjoseph3879]

Very cool !

[@secretagb]

I want to see this have a very crawler type chassis setup so it can do a lot more in the technical off road way. I think it would mainly take more suspension travel and clearance and a bit different drive gearing. Otherwise it's probably really close.

[@9348-t6f]

This is awesome. Hopefully I’ll be able to save up enough money to buy a good 3d printer that’ll print all these parts with no issues

[@bentsai9259]

Would love to see a Sherp version of this!

[@OSRC_]

Thanks

[@Ebartcustomco]

Hey I just wanna say this is awesome and I’m gonna try to start making a bunch of these so thank you for making the files I haven’t seen this one yet but I saw your other file on printables and it was awesome and I’m just getting started and was wondering if you could make a beginners guide on how to start making these

[@Codelnelson]

Amazing project ive printed one and have it drivable, but i dont understand how you did 4 wheel steering, my wheel turn in the same direction not opposite, so instead of turning, it crab walks

[@Daunlouded]

How did you wire the servos and ESC's to transmitter? I printed all parts and my RC car is mostly assembled, just waiting for second ESC and springs. BTW there is a design flaw on front motor housing, the big gear can't spin freely. I removed some plastic from it using a knife and then it fits.

[@ovc4a]

did you use differentials there?

[@PiefacePete46]

4:40. It's many years since I had anything to do with caster, steering angles, etc. but isn't the wheel nearest the inside of the corner meant to turn more than the outer wheel? Regardless, it doesn't seem to create any scary handling characteristics, so, if it works, don't mess with it! 😜

[@pierholtrop5432]

Ackerman ?

[@PiefacePete46]

@@pierholtrop5432 : Ackerman! 👍 😊 😜

[@Creative_Electronics]

Very nice project and video :)

[@gannas42]

Thanks for sharing your design. If you make updates to any parts is there some way for us to know? I've just started using onshape a month ago and I don't see any kind of version tagging for parts. I just want to make sure that if you update a part I can identify that and print the new version.

[@OmegaCreationsChannel]

very nice!

[@fliegerhorst7688]

awesome

[@ShamilMansoor]

you ar the best bro

[@tmalanam]

Those esc's are overkilling

[@itsnotsam]

Hey Michael - Would you consider re-sharing the onshape project in a way that we can 'copy' it? Currently I'm able to view the project, but cannot copy it to my own onshape documents for editing. I believe to make any changes as it is I would need to export each individual part, re-import, and then rebuild all the mate connectors. I'm working on printing this up right now, and I keep needing to re-hide parts so I can see under the shell and count how many of each part to print, as my view changes reset each time I load the document. Thanks for the awesome model and build video!

[@jes-victory5626]

realmente impresionante, te agradecería si subieras un tutorial detallada de armado para los que queremos replicarlo. esta genial

[@mayinjabob9380]

how about adding small 3d printed motors for it to be fully 3d printed. but otherwise its is really great

[@TDPEquinox]

It drives better than the real truck 🤣

[@idiocracyBonanza]

Your next project could be using this same chassis but design monster truck suspension and put it on humongous huge monster truck tyres.

[@OwenBuckingham11]

The potato bit was great 😂

[@thatawkardfeeling9076]

When will it finish rendering properly?

[@COW879]

Very cool! What is the gear reduction ratio and the kv of the motors you are using?

[@3K0-vs1mv]

put one motor per wheel, print a planetary gearbox for every one and get rid of the steering mechanism all together. Steer by torque ;)

[@OSRC_]

Hey Mike, making this car at the moment! Great job on the design..can I ask which brass heat inserts did you use? M3 or M4? Do you have details on locations for each of these inserts? Will send you a few pictures of the finished product 🤞👌

[@michaelrechtin]

M4 Inserts in the steering knuckle!

[@OSRC_]

Thanks man! I see you used on some other parts too, is that not required anymore? Just nut and bolt? Parts have just finished printing, waiting on electronics to arrive, keen haha. I'm going to mod the design and make it quad motor (direct drive, no gears), with similar drive shafts. Thoughts?

[@chpoit]

Hey, how critical is the ID of 74mm on the rim? Getting your particular wheels in canada is looking to be expensive, so i'd look for a cheaper alternative, but can't seem to find much that has an ID above 45-55mm

[@SaloSojaEdwin]

Hey there, With what the motor and the small gear connected 😅

[@SaloSojaEdwin]

This is so cool, can I get the quantity of each part ?

[@Stdeck]

did the cybertruck body can fit on the tarmo5?

[@valzzu]

might do this but one issues is i dont have big enough printer to print the body

[@Marbslab]

Very nice channel and very clean builds. Sub'd 🙂.

[@legion_7428]

This build is awesome. Does this ESC have revers?

[@AlexandruBauer]

It does seem to have but his instructions on that are really vague. I am currently trying to figure out how to get that configured. It does not seem to like a reversed signal throttle and has a dedicated reverse pin.

[@AlexandruBauer]

I figured out the wiring. So for example channel 2 is normally throttle. Channel 1 is servo for left and right direction. You can connect the reverse pin of the ESC to channel 4. That is normally associated to a button on the remote. When you hold that button and then give it some throttle, it will reverse the direction of the motor. I highly recommend you also get the wifi programming adapter for the ESC as it will help with the programming of the reverse function etc.

[@TranceMasterJack]

Has it got full self driving mode tho?

[@davidwaller2660]

About $350 ish for parts on amazon, this is a great deal

[@akshajabhay]

Is this having a locked differential?

[@GlassicGamer]

How long are your 3mm thread rods? Do you have an affiliate link for that and the batteries?

[@ArrakeenHD]

365mm for the rods

When it comes to software or setting up the receiver so both motors work, is there anything I need to do? Also what material did you print the body with

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Whenever you go back to wheels, especially with a 2wd design, consider a De-Dion axle rear suspension, particularly attached with a Satchell Link. If you can't find good resources for these, a better place to contact me is in my info page, and I can send diagrams/longer explanations that way.

Wifes little brother is completely inspired by this! Hes buying his first printer, Hes set on the ender 4 pro. I just hope he doesnt get overwhelmed trying to build this.. does he need to pay for onshape to use your file?
