Robot Tank Tread - End Cap mod by phreak42x

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I modified the track links, to add an END CAP on one end. This should help keep the pins in place.
NOTE: This was based on my first idea, of using a pin/rod, and using something to seal/glue the other/open end. I've since reverted back to the original, and started using TIE WIRE as my "rivits", since it is super cheap to get in bulk, easy to work with, and easy to replace.
Update: I ended up drilling a 1.5mm hole in the end cap, and pushing the 2mm tie wire through it, to help hold/snug it, while still bending the ends to ensure it wont slip off
I printed a single unit to see how it looked, and seems good. I'm now printing the 48x model (the 54 was just slightly too big for my bed, and I am too lazy to fix it lol)
I know, the alignment isn't perfect, so if you're anal, feel free to straighten them, and send me the new files (or the orig author)
Original author (@mscourch): Feel free to add these files into your project/modify as you see fit. You own it, I just wanted to make it simpler for people :)
