3D Printed CAT 963K Track Loader w/Raspberry Pi Control

[Trucker_Jo]

I'm excited to see some parts printed up, everything looks killer! Yet another build thread that threatens me to sell some toys to buy another one~ A printer of course.

Managed to get a few more parts printed and some hardware ordered. I now have over half the tracks printed (38 per side) and the hardware to link them together.




The front idlers are printed also. I chose to print them in halves to make it easier to get the concave dish to print well. 2mm dowel pins are used for alignment and then they are bonded together with acetone.








The drive sprockets were also printed. They bolted up to the motor hubs perfectly, and line up well with the tracks. There is a dummy planetary unit that will hide the screws and provide a more scale appearance.






I was also able to finalize my cylinder designs and get an order placed with Magom for the hydraulic system. I am looking forward to getting that stuff in so I can finalize my main chassis design.

Rexracer 19,
Can you post a link to where you bought the 3/16 grooved Clevis pins please. Followed the link over on the D10b3d print build but they do not seem to have them any more. Appreciate any help locating the hardware and with you sharing the build.

Cheers

Trackerman.

No problem. I picked mine up from McMaster-Carr. "Grooved Clevis Pin w/Retaining Ring"

RexRacer19,
Thank you for the link for the Clevis pins. Printing the track segments, what side did you have facing down on the print bed? Really interesting build, keep it up and thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Trackerman.
