Hi, those tpu rear arm mounts, did you print them on a 45º angle, %100 infill? Nice job, thanks

@@fpvstomper7020 flat to the build plate, 100% infill

Hey, I did post a question on Printables about chassis lengths. is there any alternative ways to do the CNC parts instead of using a CNC say l 3d printed.

@@JosephPerito-m6g sorry, I don't have much visibility on printables updates for subs reason. But on the printables page I have a folder labeled step files for cutting. You can send those step files to a cutting service like sendcutsend. Or you could print the chassis and use it as a template to cut/drill a chassis by hand.

convert the step file to a stl, using a online converter. It wont be the best choice but it does give you a usable chassis. Use honeycomb infill, say 25% at least. It wont be very stiff lengthwise but the way he designed the battery box helps a lot. I cut a chassis on my diode laser from black cast acrylic, that works too. At the very least it can be a template.

​@@nick_cnc I have access to a SLS nylon printer so I maybe able to work with the step file and make a Nylon version of the parts.

@@JosephPerito-m6g There is an STL of the chassis on the printables site as well - for all CF parts on my car I uploaded both the STL's and step files so people could make the parts however worked best for them. I do not recommend using a printed chassis though, as I doubt the printed parts would be stiff enough or tough enough. The STLs are mostly for use as a template for cutting a chassis by hand. That is what I would recommend over trying to run a printed chassis.
