Introduction: 3D Printed Torsional Rubber Band Powered Car

This is a rubber band car for a school engineering project. The 3D files will require further machining in order to get the car running.

materials:

  • 3D printer
  • filament
  • Lego axles, gears, stops, and holes
  • hot glue
  • drill
  • Dremel
  • 2 5x10x4 mm bearings

Step 1: Print

print off these three files

Step 2: (Not Required)

drill out all holes. 4 holes on either ends put legos holes over for more precise clearance

Step 3: Bearings

Drill out drive shaft hole to 10 mm, insert two 5x10x4 mm bearings.

Step 4: Drivetrain

use Lego axles, wheels, gears stops, and t brackets to complete drivetrain

Step 5: Add Body

Add body
