Help Identifying 3D Printed Chassis

[lagerratrobe]

Wondering if anyone here recognizes where this chassis is from, or can point me to another similar 3D-Print design? I'm looking for something like this that I can start mocking up a build from and which I can iterate design changes on.

I know that chassis.

It's from the same 3d print creator as the transfer case. "creats3D"

Thank you! That's awesome, really appreciate it.

It helps that I had a 3d printer, and tried out a bunch of prints! Sadly, I never really was able to get the hang of getting the printing right all the time, so I sold off the printer. Some days I miss it, most days I do not. Living in CA, the humidity fluctuates here and I didn't want the hassle of a "dry storage" box for filament, and all that jazz.

Filament drying is a big deal for printing. What makes it a bit more annoying is that you cannot assume a fresh roll of filament, right out of the package, with desiccant, will be dry enough to not cause issues. So, I do understand your frustration.

If the 3D printing bug starts nibbling again, recommend looking at the Bambu Labs P1S with the AMS. This allows you to print with four different colors (up to 16, if you want). If you are not into multicolor printing, the AMS does act as a 4-filament dry box, allowing you to select any filament that is la

100% with you. That model was on my list after I ended up buying a Prusa. I did indeed love the Prusa, and understand that all of my issues with it, was it's location in my garage which caused 99% of my filament issues. Had I moved it into the house with a much more stable temp/humidity condition would have made a lot of things a non-issue. I just don't have that space luxury at the moment.

I don't think most people realize that 3d printers are making toxic fumes (melting plastic) so in the garage is certainly a better location as fast as that goes.

The fumes are one of the reasons I don't get a 3d printer since I didn't have room in my garage and don't feel like putting a vent hood in my basement.

Not all of the filaments give off toxic fumes. PETG and PLA do not. ABS, yeah I'd run a vent hood or in an open garage. - Which is why mine was in the garage. I ran a bunch of ABS prints.
