Nice Build. Following...



Interesting. Who makes a long rear skid plate like that? Are the two forward holes in the chassis existing holes or did they have to be drilled? Was planning on using an RPM plastic rear skid plate on my Kraton 6S to try to keep the weight down, but if a long skid plate like that might help prevent the chassis from negatively bending during bashing sessions, might be worth the weight penalty.
MMM Germany produces them and yes you have to drill 2 holes in the chassis

What are those fan shrouds printed in? Looks to be PLA? PLA doesn't seem like a good fit as a filament choice for something like that. It does not like heat exposure and also turns more brittle as it is exposed to humidity/moisture. I have a roll of black Hatchbox PLA that became super brittle and pretty much unusable after I forgot about it and left the roll loaded on one of my printers for a week or 2. It's humid here in Baltimore, MD during the summers, and despite the fact that everyone claims that PLA is not hygroscopic, it does seem to be affected by humidity. Just trying to unload the roll from the machine resulted in the filament snapping several times while handling it. Drying it for several hours in a dehydrator made it kinda usable again, but i'd be hesitant to use it for anything important after that. Something with better heat resistance seems like it would be a better choice for a fan shroud IMHO, maybe ASA or Nylon, but filaments like that are harder to print properly because they pretty much require an enclosure and higher ambient temps inside the enclosure to prevent warping.
Idk what it is made from but the infill on it was awful and it has open voids all over the place. Idk if it was the material itself that is at fault or if it was just a poop print job.

Thanks!

Yeah, looking at it closer, looks like it definitely was a poor print job as well. That's a bummer as it looks to be a nicely designed part. Maybe the just need to have that design printed on a better printer in a better material from someplace like Shapeways.

Just Bash It does look appealing seeing as I am in the US. Thanks!
