PiPBOT 1 - Print in Place ROBOT

After 3 days of printing the chassis, I realized many mistakes in the design file.
Many versions in folders, but no real explanation file or pictures of what it should look like.
I wouldn't buy from this designer again.

I printed the _PiPBOT 2.1 FULL.stl (you have to buy it from the designer) - but it required a raft on my Bambu printer. The reason was that with the small surface area of all the track parts at least some of them would be pushed off the bed. But even a 1-layer raft in the Bambu slicer will fix that. After I removed the raft, the tracks moved very smoothly. One odd thing was it was designed to fit a servo. Servos normally just move 180 degrees and then stop - so you need to get a CONTINUOUS servo (which is basically a motor) for this to move continuously forward. But this is the best print-in-place 3D print I have seen so far!

Where do you get the sensor bar that's on the 3dhonza site? I've looked online for it and cant seem to find the same one.

i would love the older model, is it still available?, it goes together with the body a you tuber made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TiFKUlsR_Y

So you dropped the 2.2 design today on here and you'll add videos and update your website at a later date?

The Body and the Wheels that are in the Folder "PiPBOT2.1_Print-in-Place" doesn't fit together. Bad thing, because it's a lot of material to print one of those parts.

Hi, I'm new to printing and am a bit confused about Cura settings. If Speed External+Small Perimeters is 10mm/s what do you mean perimeters at 25mm/s, isn't external perimeter and perimeter the same? Also, I'm not sure what small perimeter is in Cura. Looking forward to printing!

Where can I find out more about the actual model? Like, does it allow for motors, and if so, what kind of motors can fit and where can they be purchased? Things like that. I can't tell any of that info from what I see here.

Printing the PiP-Bot 2 files! It looks great so far. Will just have to start the print for the Body once my current prints finish!

I noticed some people had printed a turret top for this model... but I can't find it!

Printed in PLA at 110% on a Sindoh 3DWOX1 with a raft and the recommended print settings. Worked great!

I am struggling with the plastic fusing on the chain link pins on the first layers. I have a creality ender 3 pro v2 stock. I tried printing at 52 C and the adhesion was insufficient for the small parts - the print head moved one of the initial chain rings off the print bed. Then I tried adding kyrlon modge podge and printed the first layers at 60 degrees C then reducing temperature to 55 C. The initial layers on the chain fused together.

Could Designer please recommend a print strategy to prevent the fusing of the initial layers? Also, there is an STL of the body without the chain. Is there an STL of the chain without the body? I understand that it would need to have at least one pin be removable in order to install it on the body. But I would hate to have re-print the body and the gear/wheels when I only need the chain. Regards.

Printed twos with ESUN PLA+ on Elegloo Neptune 3 Pro, 60mms .12 layer height, all other settings stock, turned out great, no issues or problems.

can this be printed in resin?

nice

i printed this at around 130mm, other that it being a tad rough, it works lol

This is awesome. Watching, the YouTube video, I am curious if you could add some kind of buoy system to the inside of the wheels and little "scoops" on the treads so when unfolded, it would double as some kind of water tank for larger applications.

Great design! I tried printing this on an Ultimaker 3S with PLA, no support, 50% infill, normal speed 0.15mm layer height. I could not make it fold and only after some prying, forcing, and then eventually cutting in half, was I able to determine the hinge had become one solid piece. Any suggestions?

Printed beautiful on my Ender 3, but when taking it of my bed, all track sections broke off each other, was impossible to save them. The connection between them is too fragile. Other than that, it is an amazing model.

I'm not able to get it printed well. Those steep overhangs bend up and catch the nozzle.
I slowed down, tuned temperature down, increased cooling, no success...

Does this require supports or adhesion?

currently running it at .15mm layer height, after this print ill print as big as it will fit on my build plate :D

Can this be resized

That’s really cool! Great idea!
