Description

Hello this is a fun 3D Printed RC project that's a great way to get hands on experience with standard DIY development electronics.

This model specifically is an updated/improved version of the MiniSkidi V2.0 Model. Updates include tracks, quick swap attachment plate, PCB now has mounted 16340 battery holders and a fuse for a much more user friendly experience.

I'll link the video I made going into depth on the upgrades below as well as a link to my website where you can pick up an electronics kit that can be combined with your own 3D Printed parts if you'd like to support the development of these little DIY RC projects.

If you're in an area that's unable to receive kits consider becoming a ProfessorBoots Workshop Member which will unlock courses to take you step by step through sourcing parts and uploading the code.

@pahejl

Would it be possible to order the kit also in EU? Or is it possible to order the parts (especially the PCB) somewhere else? Thanks

@lucky.pt

want that too

@TheSith

Want that too. But it seems like author completely ignores these kinds of questions (people on printables asked that too)

@profjohnny

Hi, I'm trying to come up with a good solution for shipping internationally at the moment. Stay tuned!

Love this thing so much! Printed without any issues and is a ton of fun to assemble and use. I also love that it's open source and easy to modify.

It worked pretty well. The supports were a bit difficult to remove in a few spots though. But the print quality is good

how are others printing this? I've tried with stock/default settings and it always messed up. using PLA no modifications from designer profile. I've tried different filaments and all have the issue. I scrubbed and swapped out my build plates. I had to rate a 3/5 so that I could comment. it wouldn't allow me to rate higher since the print failed.

@profjohnny

Haha thank you, I'll release the files for building custom obstacle courses here soon so people can really get creative with it.

Replying to @profjohnny :

cool. this looks like a really fun build. been printing the parts. used some flexible pla for the tracks. the only motors i got are either 540 rc motors or some little drone outrunners, so ill probably need to figure that out... and will likely need to buy some small servos too... but first ill print it and then figure out from there lol
