MrPeaski Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) @Jack Reacher This is one I modelled (Fusion360) and printed myself based on the stock bumper. I used a piece of 8mm diameter aluminium tubing for the attachment rods and it is slammed tight to the front bumper mount. Cura printing settings. 5 walls, 50% cubic infill, 0.2 layer height with supports enabled (for the attachment rod holes) Printed with the upper surface face down on a glass bed.

whitecitadel Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 @MrPeaski Nice job on the front bumper, can I ask about your axle stands, the ones I printed from Thingiverse are not a great fit for the DC1 axle, are those ones you designed or are they someone from 'tinternet somewhere? Tyres: The Kit tyres are 115mm tall, and the ones I ordered are a bit taller at 120mm and I am hoping they visually look a bit more chunky: Injora Tyres Not got them yet, but I need more tyres as I am (amazingly slowly!) 3d printing this offroad trailer from thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3543490 I already bought alloy beadlockers so I already have 9 wheels, but only 5 tyres so I needed more tyres anyway for the trailer so if they turn out to be rubbish rubber when they arrive I will keep Hobao on the DC1 and put the Injora ones on the trailer - I think the Injora tyres will look better so as long as they are not made of bakealite I will swap them onto the beadlockers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably spend ages making it then never use it... but half the fun is in the built right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaski Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 @whitecitadel The axle stands are ones I designed myself. I'm not by the PC at the mo but I'll share a link when I am for anyone that wants to make a set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrPeaski Posted January 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2022 Here are more details of the stand my car is sitting on. Assembled stands tied together with added stringers Front stand Tied together Rear stand Designed specifically for the DC-1, I use it as a display stand to keep the tyres off the ground, with the weight of the car, if left for a while the tyres do get flat spots. Its also useful when working on the shell or the insides, electrics etc. The current wheel/tyre combo is approx 110mm in diameter and at its lowest point there's around a 6mm gap under the tyre. If anyone want to make one for themselves, here is a link to a zip file containing all the STL files, print quantities and print layout pics https://drive.google.com/file/d/11YeIGZ2_DHji7NCLNdbxYcFkdcpBK-Za/view?usp=sharing If you want to make separate front/rear stands you can leave out the black parts labelled as stringers. These were added at a later date so don't fit in any cut outs on the front/rear stands. It will all slot together, but I glued it for strength. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitecitadel Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks @MrPeaski I might give those a try, but will see if my new tyres arrive early next week first to make sure they are tall enough - spec says 120mm but as always with the Far East supply need to measure what’s delivered! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3 x 22mm for the bolts Seems like 30wt or around 300/350CST is in the stock ones. I have G-Made Aeration shocks on mine again with the stock oil supplied with those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
