Roger now has quite large mecanum wheels!! Excuse the Frankenstein wiring, had to add a second motor controller. Wheels are fully 3d printed (plus m3 screws). Need to rebuild the chassis now to widen it a bit and fit in more electronics.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/raspberry_pi
Rover v3 is now complete! Now has TPU printed wheels, improved sensor bar including neopixels and OLED screens (instead of googly eyes). All of the internal wiring has been redone to make it cleaner and more sturdy. Dumped the suspension as it was crap (v4 will be rocket bogie).5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/raspberry_pi
Large mecanum wheel v2. Now with bearing embedded in each roller for nice smooth action. 3 printed, 1 to go.4yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
I’m not too sure, but I think I have some Y axis layer shifting happening :-)3yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
My rover v1. Designed and built from scratch, made it modular so will keep adding to it, ultrasonic sensor module for the front, pan/tilt camera for the top. Front had raspberry pi and motor controllers etc, rear has battery. Goal is to get it to follow my son to school carrying his backpack.6yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/functionalprint
My rover post yesterday got a good response, so spent the day on the next component. Camera module on the top, rotates 180 degrees. Module designed and built from scratch in a day by a noob.6yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/robotics
Roger now has quite large mecanum wheels. Had to Frankenstein the electronics to add in another motor driver for testing, and it drives pretty well on carpet. Have to reprint pretty much the rest of him for some changes, which fingers crossed will be the last time I need to.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
Roger v5, changed to six wheels, rocker on the front sets. Can now handle obstacles pretty well. Next going to rebuild the chassis to hold a bigger battery.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/raspberry_pi
My first fully 3D printed rover. I’ve designed and printed every component from scratch, designed to be modular, adding a set of 3 ultrasonic sensors and a pan/tilt camera next. Electronics are inside, front has raspberry pi, motor controllers etc, rear has battery. Driven by 4x12v motors.6yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
Rover v1. Been working on this for a while, fully 3D printed, modular. Front has raspberry pi and motor controllers etc, rear has battery pack. Next building an ultrasonic sensor module for the front, and pan/tilt camera module for the top. Going to be used to deliver a cake to a party soon.6yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/robotics

Roger’s nerf launcher, the “Mohawk” is now printing, and his arm has been rebuilt. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.4yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/robotics
Filament replenishment day is the best day. It may be cheap generic stuff (that prints surprisingly well), but all 9 kilos of PLA goodness are all mine.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
Finally have more space!! Gone from a few lack tables stacked on top of each other and hidden away to a dedicated space in the laundry with room for everything.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
Roger is getting some mecanum wheels! They’re rather large at 150mm diameter and look a bit out of proportion, but Roger is about to go on a growth spurt with another rebuild. Have printed two so far, and they seem to drive really well. Will post vid when I finish the other two wheels.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting

Finally arranged some space in the laundry for a decent setup!! Gone is the hidden away IKEA Lack printer tower.5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/My3DPrintingCorner
Need help with weird issue suddenly appearing on underside of print. Can’t figure this one out (more details in comments).5yr ⋅ gjs31 ⋅ r/3Dprinting
