Ranger F150 XLT -> Blackfoot shell on ORV body mounts
Description
These files are for mounting a Blackfoot shell onto an ORV chassi (Frog in my example) which, in combination with sand blaster 915 wheels, will result in a look reminiscent of the Tamiya Ford F150 Ranger XLT. All files are oriented according to my understanding of which will give the best parts strength when printed in FDM. I printed mine at .3mm layer height with tree supports enabled, beyond cleaning up supports and brims i also had to drill out the holes for the body clips. The front mount is fully my own design. The base of it clips firmly over the upper tube between the suspension stays and screws into h1 where the body post would normally screw in if the chassi was built to be a Frog, its "wings" extending outside of the tube clamp has recesses on the bottom that friction hold nuts. The middle part bolts to the bottom, i made large clamping washers for this because if there are any knocks this would be the vulnerable point due to layer orientation when printing. The top screws onto the middle, has some back/front slide adjustability and an easily changeable body post, seeing as that should be the weak point. I have also incorporated two mount points on the middle part which i used to attach oil dampers on my build, the lower mount point i used are the unused holes in the suspension arm stays, drilled up to accept 3mm bolts. Print two of the clamp washer. Assembled using all 3mm hardware. The rear mount is a remix based on Tamiya Blackfoot/Monster Beetle Rear Body Posts by Jesse Shipe/sixdeuces on thingiverse, the link for said file is below: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4746502/ Remixing and design was done using Blender.
