Dadio's 3D Printing Stuff

Still playing with geometry but you get the idea

[Dadio]

Got the geometry nailed after having a look at my Scorpion , had to put a significant riser block in , looks inelegant right now but I'm thinking of combining it with the original trailing arm mount that also acts as the roll hoop mount so it needs something there and if I combine both functions in one piece it might be more stable for both .

More elegant rear suspension riser and roll hoop mount

[Dadio]

A little more sculptural (I know it's a brutally ugly car but hey ho !) And with a mounting for the shock tower , the shock tower is printed but will be fibre glass and the mount will be black not white probably .

Nice job packaging all those connections together in an uncomplicated looking setup. The easy looking setups take some work to become easy looking.

A slight change of direction , originally I was going to make a custom chassis to suit the rear arms but now I think the mounting could be fitted to a stock chassis with the addition of two 3mm holes each side , this one is a re re so M 3 at the roll hoop but it would be simple to just adapt the mount to M 4 . I'm also experimenting with the anti roll bar , I'm hoping to use it but I'll probably have to shorten it at each end a bit.An unexpected bonus is the mount has way more clearance to the motor so the wires for a BL motor can easily fit at the back rather than towards the battery tray .

Just printed out the mountings in PA6 CF, drilled to the chassis and assembled it all , really pleased with how it's turned out.

Nice job on the Scorpion trailing arm setup! I have a similar setup on my rear motor Optima. I'll have to borrow inspiration from your shock mounts if you don't mind!
