The main chassis parts have been made by <a href="https://www.shapeways.com/">Shapeways</a>. <br>
The 3D can be viewed @ <a href="https://github.com/veggielane/Antweights/tree/master/MCAD/EDF/OUTPUTS">github</a>.</p>

<p>Here is a picture of the current progress: <br>

<p>The motor mounts are built into the chassis, and held in place with a retainer disks: <br>

<p>I now have to somehow fit all this inside... <br>

<p>It was printed by <a href="http://i.materialise.com/">i.materialise</a> using the <a href="http://i.materialise.com/materials/rubber-like">Rubber-like</a> material.</p>

<h3 id="results">Results</h3>

<p>Unfortunately while the material is more flexible than the typical additive manufacturing it does not provide much grip. This could be improves slightly with a different tread pattern, with something like a straight knurl; but I still don’t think this material is suitable for producing tyres.</p>]]></description><link>http://engr.io/antweight-tyres-attempt-1/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">deb4d82a-f204-4dee-8d6b-b9dfe12c9aaa</guid><category><![CDATA[Antweight]]></category><category><![CDATA[Robotics]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[veggielane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2015 13:42:34 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
