It can fly…and break nylon wishbones. Sorry for the blurry action shots.

@Emile_Wim Awesome! Sucks breaking the wishbones but when you think about the fact that your car in the pictures is actually 3D printed it’s crazy!!
Would you mind sharing some photos of broken wishbones?
The left rear wishbone broke after about 10 jumps, but it was great fun, my daughter was driving.
The wishbone split (delamination) at the hinge (diff side), i’m still printing it laying down. Upped the temps to 260 and switched to taulman 645 now, if it still breaks i’ll print it standing on its side.
I was wondering the same thing, where is everyone’s wishbone breaking?
In ABS mine mostly broke just in the middle of the wishbone, right about where the shock is mounted. Nylon is much stronger, you have to start bashing before it breaks…
i am still impressed with what you guys are doing, i was hoping to see ABS would stand up better, i dont really want to go the nylon rout
I had an idea for a wishbone redesign I am planning on doing tonight. Though I can’t test it yet, I have already broken the wishbones
Wow, how in the world did the Nylon wishbones break? I’ve put that stuff under over 750lbs of test weight without it breaking. Hit it with a sledge hammer without ill effects, etc.
Ah, just read the previous (hidden) comments; delamination. Delamination shouldn’t occur if you’re printing at the right temperatures. Taulman Nylon printed > 246ish fuses at a molecular level.
I am guessing there is probably no easy way to do this. The 1/8 scales I built used a composite. Concrete uses rebar. Carbon-fiber uses fiber. Is there no way to add something to printed materials. Maybe a fine screen laid between layers.
