Utilitarian Chassis Flight Skids
Created today
Description
This lightweight hardware suite is designed for custom chassis builds, keeping the overall footprint low while providing a sturdy base. The components are arranged flat on the build plate for easy, support-free fabrication.
Flight Hardware
- The Deck: A 50×55 mm central mounting plate. It features a solid 2 mm deck surrounded by a 3 mm retaining wall, ideal for corralling electronics or batteries.
- The Skids: Twin 50 mm long landing legs. They have been heavily cored out to reduce mass, leaving just a rugged 3 mm footprint and sturdy outer struts to handle hard landings.

160mm Wheelbase Truck Chassis
Base structure for the Moroccan Unity Day modular parade truck. Built to carry standard 6mm axle rods and accept top-deck cabin and cargo payloads. This is a specific-fit frame, not a universal runner. Check the axle bore and mounting distances before committing filament: Axle Bores: 6.3mm teardrop channels, printed horizontally. Fits 6mm rod axles with 0.3mm clearance. Wheelbase: 160mm exactly. Deck Mounts: Eight 5.3mm bores spaced for the matching Unity Day cabin and cargo blocks (5mm locating pegs). Overall Footprint: 270mm x 105mm x 25mm. Prints top-down or bottom-up depending on your preference for bridging, but the internal grid is fully pocketed to drop weight while keeping the deck rigid. Minimum wall thickness is locked at 2.5mm for an easy two-wall pass on a 0.4mm nozzle.
9-Camion
Heavy-duty rear wheel designed for modular truck assemblies. Features an 84mm outer diameter with aggressive block treads and a deep-dish rim structure. Built to transfer high torque from a printed axle without slipping. Prints flat on the inner face. Diameter: 84mm (including treads) Width: 30mm (32mm at hub) Axle bore: 9mm hex socket (across corners) Mounting: Prints flat on the Z-axis, no supports required. Material: Designed for rigid filaments like PLA or PETG.
7-Camion
This is a rugged, heavy-duty truck wheel designed to anchor the front-left corner of a modular exhibition chassis. Coming in at 78mm in diameter, it features a deep-dish rim, aggressive sidewall tread cuts, and a prominent central hub studded with hex lug nuts. Fabrication Notes Print Orientation: Flat on its back face. Overhangs: Sloped internal cavities mean it requires absolutely zero supports. Interface: Features an 8.2mm central clearance bore to slide onto standard chassis axles. Strength: Designed thick with minimal internal bridging for high impact resistance.
12mm Hex Parade Truck Wheel
A 70x25 mm solid front wheel designed to mate with a standard 12 mm RC hex drive. Built as a single rugged piece, it combines a deep-block tire tread with a solid structural hub to handle the weight of larger FDM parade and display builds. Fitment Specs Drive Interface: 12 mm standard RC hex (6 mm deep pocket) Axle Bore: 5.2 mm clearance hole Outer Dimensions: 70 mm OD × 25 mm width Printing: Flat on the hex face, no supports required.

Model truck wheels usually snap at the hub or require a nest of supports just to print the rims. This one prints entirely flat on the bed, bridging cleanly across the inner rim recess, with treads chunky enough to actually grip rough surfaces instead of spinning out. Specifications Diameter: 80 mm Width: 30 mm Axle: 8 mm hex shaft Print orientation: Flat on its side (no supports needed)

Large vehicle prints warp, lift off the bed, or take days to finish. Splitting the chassis into smaller, hollowed quadrants stops the curling and lets the pieces finish quickly. This is the left-side foundation. Fit Details Overall Dimensions: 140 mm × 70 mm × 12 mm Wall Thickness: 3 mm perimeters and floors for rigid bridging Mating Pins: 5 mm diameter pins into 5.3 mm receiver holes for a clean press-fit Panel Mounts: Four 6.3 mm top sockets align the upper body elements
