3D Open sourced my SPV2 & SPv4 ax10/Everest 10 chassis

[stampedeproject]

Been a decade or so since my last post. Some will remember me as an industry writer and designer of the Stampede Project SPV2 AX10 chassis originally produced by FLM and then knocked off by Chinese copycats... who are still selling it.

For those woth 3D printer access. I Open sourced two designs and made it a direct fit for Everest 10 RTR kit.also posted on GrabCad the full Fusion and Step files.

The newer buggy design
Drops height without shock mods
Tons of squat/dive adjustment
Converts stock links to Capra style cross links.
Seems to run great

Very cool! Nice of you to share rather than thinking a 3D printer means you have a business.

Thanks. Community guve back

Here is the SPV 6, SPV 10, and SPV 12 Versions - I tweaked a lot of things from the SPV4 versions including adding an updated skidplate design, ESC and RX mounts plus a roof rack.

The SPV10 and SPV12 are Tuber variant and upsized about 10-15% over the other size. All the mount points are the same, but, but the body is bigger for a more scaler look. Also included a Skidplate "Drill your own" blank so if you want to use another platform, you can still use the build.

In case anyone every wondered, the SPV# was Stampede Project Version #. So as I move through these you can know which update you have.
Still all designed around around a bolt up OEM RedCat Racing Everest 10 kit. The skidplate many will notice it now is set up for the oversized ball ends Redcat uses. Just wanted to make it as pain free as possible for builders.

Also I am using a HUGE Creality Ender 5 PLUS with a 13-inch cube build volume, however these were all designed to print on smaller 3D printers. Enjoy. 100% Open Source.

...also reached out to Holmes hobbies. They are going to do a build or two and test these out. Big thanks as always to Holmes for the tuning recommendations back then and jumping in again. He still has one old SPV FLM left un-opened in the bag.

Tube work isn't easy to model, at least not for me, so I can appreciate all the work that went into this. Good job!

I look forward to checking out the files!

Guys - Posted all the seperate files. The way thingverse is organized it is a little messy, however I have everything labeled with the SPV versions and the part name.
I now have five chassis options available for the RedCat Everest 10 plus a drill your own skidplate, so really you can use it on anything.
For the SPV6-12t versions I have ESC and RX Mounts. All free open source. Will get the Fusion files uploaded with the new updates. Working on a battery holder that mounts to the front upper link mount for something a bit more pro-like vs zip tieing on a battery plate.
The Skidplate converts the links to a Capra style 4-link crossing link style and you can now dial in squat/dive. I only wish I would have add all this on the original version way back when., but live and learn
SPV Versions
SPV3 - Original SPV2/SPV3 Design tweaked for 3D printing
SPV6 - Flat easy print of the blue buggy - simple TVP plate buggy chassis
SPV10 - Tuber Version - A harder Angled print, but freaking cool
SPV12 - Expands on SPV10 and adds some additional shock protection tubes
SPV12T - Truck'ish Version extending the APV12 - with Extended Chassis and a lot of Tube Detail. Harder print, but all these print well at about a 30-degree lean.
All the version except the rather larger SPV12T should print up well on a standar small printer bed, but may require some angular printing.
The SPV12T is BIG 14"x5" chassis

This is an older thread, but I ran into your design @stampedproject on Thingiverse searching for something to modify.

It really is quite some work to have a digital design laid out instead of the traditional cut-to-fit style of fabrication that, arguably can be easier to do if you are working with tubes.

It's too bad that there are many unscrupulous entities out there stealing designs and making money off someone else's hard work.

It's the primary reason I have stopped crowdfunding projects--by the time your project is funded and manufactured, someone else has already ripped it off and can manufacture it for way less than your own cost (since they didn't have to design and develop anything). I have advised many an aspiring small business to not put anything up to be crowdfunded unless they can pretty much foot at least 50% of the initial manufacturing costs. Many larger or more established firms already just use crowdfunding as a way to advertise--product is already made and ready to ship.

FWIW, that's awesome of you to do this, and I'll hope to test my new 3D printer with some of your work.
