3D Printed components

All 3D components have been custom designed by Hugo van Wezenbeek and Max Gallup at the VU using OnShape. They can be ordered in bulk by a 3rd party for cost savings.

8Servo HatMount for servo, provides solid force so that servo will not move. This means that forces exerted on steering mechanism during crash will get distributed to weaker components such as servo gears or linkage rods.1link
9Ultrasonic Sensor HolderA simple mount for the ultrasonic sensor.1link
10Battery HolderBattery holders with friction-fit window1link
11CoverThis piece is used to sandwich the speed sensors in place after being placed on the Rover.1link
12DividerThe two speed controllers need to be electrically isolated and be held down such that they don't move around much during operation.1link
13AS5600 HolderThe speed controllers require to know the motor's angle in order to perform FOC based speed control. For this, we mount the magnetic encoders on the axis of the motor's shaft.2link
14WindowsThe rear section of the car is mainly held together with two window frame like components.2link
15Steering RodsThe servo moves the front wheels using these two push rods. The visual representation of these does not correspond with the 3d printed components.2link
16Steering AdaptersThe steering rods are connected to the steering buckles of the front wheels with two adapter components.2link
17RimsThe rims of the car are 3d printed. The front wheels differ from the rear wheels only in their mounting mechanism. Dimensions are otherwise identical.4link
18Servo MattressThis component is meant to sit underneath the servo as an extra support component but is not strictly necessary.1link
