Vehicle Engineering includes 15 hours of curriculum designed to introduce students (and teachers) to 3D printing technology. They begin by learning engineering and rapid prototype processes and seeing how the 3-D printer operates. Then, they work in teams to design their own battery-operated cars, using the 3-D printer to make parts to construct their vehicles. Finally, they see the results of their work on race day.
Written by an engineer, this classroom activity was developed to address several Next Generation Science Standards, specifically the Grades 6-9 Engineering Design performance expectations. Aside from helping instructors meet standards, the activity helps students experience real-world conditions such as peer review and working within a budget.
This package provides all the parts needed to create 50 battery-operated cars; however, some parts can be made with the 3-D printer to save money in the student’s budget. Includes wheels, axles, chassis, battery holders, batteries, motors, and other necessary components and hardware. The teacher’s guide, DVD, five Competition Catalogs, student Engineering Notebooks, and drill assemblies for cleaning axle holes complete this package. Designed for use with any 3D printer.
Questions
I see that the printer holds the spools on the inside. Is there room for larger spools of filament? We tend to buy the 5lb rolls of PLA
Is it possible to change the nozzle on the hotend or do you need to get a completely new hotend in case it clogs or something? What kind of nozzles are used?
1) Can I buy additional 1mm hot end or I must buy the whole family? 2) From your inventory of filaments what is the one with the highest glass transition temperature?
I've had this printer for between 2-3 years now and I won't be getting another product from this company. Every time I almost get it working reliably something breaks, only half their parts are available from MatterHackers, the other half you have to search in google to get a link to the manufacturer ordering page because their site design is so bad, I've never heard back from their customer service on the issues I've been having, and all their tutorials are so brief and lacking detail that they're clearly written by someone that's already expecting you to be a master with one of these machines. When this one breaks, I'm selling it for parts and never getting another one from this company. Matterhackers support is fantastic and I love you guys, but this printer is freaking awful.
If I print 2 identical parts at once (one on each head) what is the build size of each part?
just replaced my FEP on my Peopoly Phenom Large-Format MSLA 3D Printer saw that there what looked like fep film on top of the led screen and its peeling off, due to some resin getting on it, not sure what the purpose of it was anyone have any ideas.and around the outside of it it had some kind of black tape, should I go ahead and replace it,
Where is the printer made?
will this print system take a full scale product like a hub on the front end of the car.
I notice they have e3d hotends. Would it be possible to change to a different hotend? Mosquito Magnum?
Which Petg filament do you recommend to use with Sigmax R19 beside BCN3D's own Petg?
We just bought one at work and there's a 1/16" gap between the bed heaters and the glass. Is this normal? I'm printing Tough PLA...on my Ultimaker 2+ I get perfect bed adhesion at 70°C, with the R19 I've had to go to 90°C to have any hope. Because there are two separate heaters and a gap between them, I really have no hope of adhesion over that gap. Is there something like an aluminum heat spreader or something?
Can this be modded to use 1.75 filament? Could you do it prior to me purchasing?
Can this machine create parts that are two colors? Or do the injectors only work independently?
Does this have true automatic bed leveling?
How big is the build volume at the duplication and mirror printing mode?
how big of a filament roll will this device hold? (weight, roll diameter) How many amps of power does this draw? How many amps are needed for the power cord? Where/how are the filament rolls held?
What 3 d print is best for printing Braille
Hi, I see only very few filaments in 2.85mm thickness available on your site (namely 3 from dupont). Can 3mm thickness be used instead? If yes, will this affect the settings or the life span or any other issue? Thank you!
What is the maximum tolerance it can hold?
The BCN3D stock factory video from a trade show has the machine printing a pair of white flexible bellows. With a bowden tube feed, flexible filaments would normally be excluded. How is BCN3D solving this problem?
Can you control the temp of each hot end separately?
Can you feed the the Sigmax from an Octopi? It says it has USB connectivity, but not sure if that means as the host (reading from a USB stick) or the slave device (tethered printing).
Is it possible to print (2) different parts (A&B) side by side at the same time with different extruders (E1 & E2) ???
Can it print polycarbonate successfully?
Can this machine extrude PVA in all their nozzle sizes?
I see an enclosure in one of their videos on youtube. Is this something that will be available for this machine for everyone?
Which filament brands can be used with this printer?
@jacob The printer is open sourced and should be able to use any filament brand
