We took our bone stock manual badlands bronco through the Poison Spider-Golden Spike-Gold Bar Rim trails!
Some Background: My wife and I took a trip out to Moab to visit her sister while she is working in Utah. This was a very loosely planned trip with only some details planned ahead of time...
I'm not super familiar with GM's 3.0 I-6. Is that showing a lot of issues? I thought it was a pretty brilliant design. As for Ford I always thought the 3.0 Lion was a bit long in the teeth to bring stateside and try and meet emissions or power expectations. The 2.0 panther seems to have been an...
I would take this assuming the 4 motors are inboard of the chassis, and not actually in the wheel hub as unsprung weight. I would also entertain the idea of trading half or more of the battery pack for a 0.5 or 1 liter diesel range extender
Before I say anything else, this is a totally hypothetical question that has no bearing on reality! I have no insider knowledge and also don't care to be lectured on "false hope". This is purely a "just out of my own curiosity where does everyone stand", type of question. Partly inspired by the...
Yes, I edited the comment with explanation. If you have a printer and want to use the files for yourself in good faith, PM me and i'll give it. I just don't want to upload the file publicly were any number of people across the interweb can sell them for profit. If you want one for yourself...
Depends on the rail you use, and how you want to attach it. I have the cylindrical pads sticking up (they could actually go a mil higher probably) to get as much thread engagement with the screws as I can. Then there needs to be at least some clearance around the holes because the rail I am...
I printed it with support underneath. It is not super easy to remove either way, but it leaves the top side with a much nicer finish which is what you see anyway. I recommend running a lower support density (like 20% or less) but making the support interface density higher for supporting detail...
I am using fusion 360. My student license expired so I actually have to pay for it but I still find it worth it! But if you have an old school email you can try it for free, at least for a year or two.
I have also had good experiences with NX and Solidworks, not so much Catia...

I just uploaded the STL for the magnetic phone mount adapter:
Edit: I removed my link to the STL's as users on thingiverse were trying to sell for profit. I love this community and I want those with a printer feel free to enjoy these ideas. I know I sign my rights away to some degree when I...
The base took about 8 hours, and the phone mounts took a little less than that I think. Time is very dependent on how you "slice" it. Slicing is the part of the process where you generate G-code, dictating things like number of walls, infill density, layer height etc. I've done multiple prints...
If you don't have a printer, or a friend with a printer and really want this thing, go ahead and PM me! If enough people are interested I may dedicate some time to perfect the design and maybe work with a better material. Or if you just want this version, in PLA, right now let me know. I just...
I may try that eventually but this will get me through next spring without a problem and PLA is just so easy to get good prints out of and its really fairly strong for what it is.
I'll give it a bit more time to make sure I like it before posting it out like on thingiverse but if you want this version here you can PM me. I can't find my exact link but I am pretty sure this is what I bought: Amazon.com : Semedea Picatinny Rail Accessory Set Compatible with Mlok Systems...
