Arduino Book Case (Tank Tracks Mod)
Derived from
Description
These treads are a great design... They needed to be upgraded a little to fit my design but nothing that could not be modeled in blender.
Wheels now have 2mm holes for the servo wheel plate to connect to the wheels.
Servos are screwed down, no more rubber band.
idler is still a good idea.
Lost the Scad because well the only thing that might change is the servo size but I tried to use a very common standard size in the build. Links are provided in the instructions to everything you need for this mod.
Instructions
Then aquire the following hardware.
4 2mmx20mm
4 3mmx25mm
12 3mmx12mm
4 #6 washers
12 m3 nuts
1 21 mm servo wheel (comes with servo)

I'll need to redesign the tracks a bit, after playing with this today I have had 2 flat tires. I think its the weight of it that is breaking the bands.
Found a cool trick!
Silicone sealant + tank treads = traction on smooth surfaces!
Images added for your amusement.
Can anybody guide me as to how to print the treads using MakerWare & the Replicator 2?
I try with 0 infill (the only relevant option I can find) but it still prints the bottom solid...
(I've been trying to use replicatorG but all I get is a hot mess - again I don't see a top/bottom off option, if anybody has advice on how to build using rG with the Replicator2, that would also be excellent!)
I've read everything I can find on this...
updated the front axle "Track holder book.stl" - now has more security.
Wow! This is great, I love the idea. Will print one as soon as I can :)
Such a fast derivative too :P Thanks!

These tracks are great for lighter applications but while testing I broke quite a lot of them.
Now I use these http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
