3D Printed Pieces

You can find the .stl files and Autodesk Inventor files for these pieces here

Photo	Name	Quantity	Settings	Notes
	Base	1	PLA	Home plate for the robot essentially
	BaseBoardsMiddle_Hole	1	PLA	This piece is used to support the boards, and is attached to the vertical attachment pieces from the Base
	BaseBoardsMiddle_Top	1	PLA	Similar to the pieces for the boards, but this one is for the very top of the vertical pieces. The height of its legs will depend on how much clearance is available to the top piece. In RDAS v0.2, I ended up having to remove the legs
	BaseSliders	1	PLA	This goes underneath the base, and this is the piece that slides along the floor
	BaseVertical	1	PLA	This goes on top of the base, and it is the piece where the vertical attachments can be attached
	EncoderBracket	2	PLA	This piece attaches to the motor side attach piece. The motor encoder is mounted beneath the upper extrude
	MotorMount_Mirror	1	PLA	The motor will be mounted onto this bracket (with hot glue), which then gets mounted to the motor side piece
	MotorMount	1	PLA	Same as above, but this is mirrored
	SensorBar	1	PLA	This piece gets attached to the side piece, in RDAS v0.2's case it was the front side, and the sonar sensor and 10mm leds can be added here
	Side	2	PLA	The side of the robot. There are two of these. The other two are specifically for the motors.
	SideEncoderAttach	2	PLA	This piece is used to attach the encoder bracket to. It gets mounted onto the motor side piece
	SideLink_Light	2	TPE (NinjaFlex)	Flexible link for two of the more lighter weight sides. For the heavier sides (the ones with the motors) see below. These get sandwhiched between two pieces for the sides and base
	SideLink	2	TPE (NinjaFlex)	Flexible link for the heavier sides- the ones with the motors. These get sandwhiched between two pieces for the sides and base
	SideMotor_Mirror	1	PLA	The side piece for the motors
	SideMotor	1	PLA	The side piece for the motors
	SideSizeAttach	1	PLA	This piece isn't necessary for the robot, but it can serve as a template to determine maximum dimensions on the side pieces when folding in
	SideTopper	4	PLA	These are the pieces that clamp down on the flex pieces to the side piece
	SolarFolds_Sketch-Clamp	4	PLA	These are the pieces that clamp down on the solar flex pieces to the panel piece
	SolarFolds_Sketch-Flex	4	TPE (NinjaFlex)	Joins the panels together and serves as a flexible hinge for folding. Attaches to the side pieces as well
	SolarFolds_Sketch-Panel-Mirror	4	PLA	The panel piece for when the robot unfolds into net form
	SolarFolds_Sketch-Panel	4	PLA	The panel piece for when the robot unfolds into net form - this piece is mirrored, so you need 4 of these and 4 of the mirrored
	Top	1	PLA	Top of the robot - the holes are for your fingers to carry it (like a bowling ball). It can also be used to put the robot on blocks when working on it so it doesn't roll off the table
	TopHook	4	TPE (NinjaFlex)	The hooks that attach from the top piece onto the sides of the robot in folded form.
	VerticalConnector_Longest	4	PLA	All 4 of these vertical pieces attach to the base vertical piece. From here, the board holder pieces attach to it. Make sure to print this on its side. If it were printed standing up, the direction of the print would make it weak to break in half.
	WheelAssembly	2	PLA	Attaches from the motor, and becomes the wheel. Add on the tire to the round part. Print with supports, with the tire area on the build platform. Although the direction of print will make the axel weak, the wheel will guaranteed be round.
