Description
How to make your own gas truck conversion. Currently only the Associated T6 platform is done. TLR 22T conversion may happen if I or someone else feels very motivated and has the time to do so.
Getting Started
First I must say this is a project for experienced makers/hobbyists. There may eventually be ready-to-assemble kit versions, but for now it's DIY only.
Prerequisites
- 3D printer(s) with the following capabilities (for printing carbon-fiber PA6 Nylon)
- Hard 0.4mm and 0.25mm nozzle (hardened steel or equivalent)
- 300°C capable hot-end (make sure you hot-tighten it at that temperature)
- Heated bed
- Filament dryer
- High quality Carbon-Fiber filled PA6 filament (I used Polymaker Polymide CF-PA6)
- Magigoo or equivalent PA bed adhesive
- Access to a laser cutting service such as send-cut-send
- A T6, 6.1, 6.2, or 6.3 you don't mind sacrificing to the gas truck gods :-)
- Lots of patience and some hacking skills
