Finally picked up my Creality Ender 3 and after a couple resets on the build* I managed to print this...

Which is a test stand for s-can motors to hold them while checking RPM. It will be mounted to a board with the tachometer on the other end.
Next, I want to extend its' length by about 4 mm and see if I can countersink my mounting holes. The first one will probably get mounted with double-sided foam tape.

*If you purchase an Ender 3 do not even try to follow the printed assembly instructions. Search for "Ender 3 assembly" on YouTube and watch the first 2 or 3 videos that pop up. Watching the videos is way better than Creality's printed manual.

Nice easy first piece! It won't be long before you have pieces and parts everywhere....

Hey Chappyman, just saw your latest driver figure on Thingiverse - very nice. My goal is a Slot.it pod capable chassis.

Peter

There are several chassis on Thingiverse capable of taking inline and sidewinder slot.it pods...and a few fixed motor position chassis as well.

Every new part is an advancement in out hobby.

Chappyman - I am using TinkerCAD online so not really sure how editable some of the chassis files are on Thingiverse - need to get wheelbase and front track correct for the car/body.

Once I do the revisions to my motor test mount I will post the .stl file on Thingiverse, or if anyone wants it just PM me and I will gladly share.

I use TinkerCAD online too.....I upload almost everything from Thingiverse. All the chassis, wheels, guide flags, drivers, bodies and motor pods I have done have been via Thingiverse and TinkerCAD.
