Hello! thank you so much for downloading these files! You are going to start your longest print so far, this kit includes more than 348 printed parts!
Please be aware that the project was entirely designed by one person in their free time. For this reason, you might notice some errors! If you have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to contact me!
Don’t panic!
Take your time, this step-by-step guide will help you in the build in order to avoid wasting time and money.
Before start:
Read carefully all the informations listed on the next three pages! Remember that I’m always available if you need support!

3D printer settings
All the parts are saved on 79 printable files.
The parts are ready with the best orientation in order to offer the higher strength!
Don’t be afraid! All the printer settings are listed on the printing matrix linked
Printing bed size:
At least 180 x 180 x 180 mm

Part list
All the non-printed parts are listed on the link here
Buy all the parts if you want to build the radio controlled version,
otherwise all the parts sufficient for the static model are marked on the part list!
There are a lot of screws on this model!
For the best build experience, it’s highly recommended to use a screwdriver!
(!) To avoid stripping the plastic holes, please do not apply to much torque :)

Suggestion: you can adjust this ring later to increase or reduce the preload of the shock. The top position works fine, but if you install the 3548 motor, you will need to increase the preload slightly by lowering the ring position.
Not ok!
