Drogerdy - Raspberry Pi Controlled Tank Bot
Made by Bushie5, uploadedDescription
If it looks like a rats nest of wires, it is!
This was my very first print project I chose after getting into the 3d printing hobby, so don't judge the quality too much =)
I'm using the suggested motors which fit perfect without any additional needed restraining hardware. I wrote a small program on an Arduino Uno clone and used the cheap original ($8) Adafruit motor shield, a buck converter to drop the voltage from the 12v 3S LIPO batteries I had kicking around down to 8 volts (1 volt over recommended voltage for the motors, but seem to be doing fine), a wireless FPV cam I salvaged off an old octocopter build I had years ago and am running it with my cheap hobbyking turnigy radio.
After printing, the pieces all fit together like a dream, and glued together nicely. It's been abused by my 2.5 year old and his dinosaurs (half the reason I built it)
I'm working on a few modifications as we speak including a snap on rotating turret add on for the original, and a "double" version that can hold more electronics and still maintain the slick low profile made by the original designer. My 2 year old loves driving it (with my help) under his bed to find his hiding DINOSAURS! through the camera.
This thing is great!!! I'd have a dozen more if I could use them!

Notes:
PETG is great stuff for this type of build. Strong and flexible. 245 at the nozzle, then 90 bed temp, no fan initial layer, 85 degrees bed and 100% fan for the rest of the print.
