The Band-IT is a rubber band powered dragster with 3D printed parts. Print one and take it for a spin. Higher but, print two and race in opposition to one another. Infinite hours of enjoyable are ready to be found.
The Band-IT element elements could also be downloaded and printed at Band-IT Dragster. Comply with these directions to discover ways to assemble your dragster as soon as all of the parts are printed.
Band-IT
The Band-IT consists of 17 complete parts: 16 which are printed and a rubber band (approximate 6 inches / 16mm in size) that could be bought individually (see Determine 1). 5 of the parts might be duplicated and a number of other of the parts could also be fabricated collectively in a single print.
Determine 1
Determine 2 reveals the parts that can have to be printed individually as one batch. These ought to be printed with 90-100% infill since they are going to be subjected to essentially the most stress. In any other case, the remainder of the parts could also be printed utilizing a regular infill.

As a word earlier than meeting, becoming a member of parts mustn’t want any adhesive for the reason that elements had been designed to have quantity of pressure as soon as joined. Nevertheless, one could need to place adhesive within the joints the place parts could come below some stress, e.g. between axles and wheels and alongside the body of the dragster. This feature is left as much as the discretion of the fabricator. The next are an inventory of steps in assembling the dragster.
Step 1: Insert the rubber band pin into the rear axle (Figures 3 and 4).

Determine 4
Step 2: Insert the rear axle pin into the massive wheel (Figures 5 and 6). This ought to be completed for every massive wheel.

Step 3: Safe the rubber band to the entrance part of the dragster body (Figures 7 and eight). The rubber band ought to be looped by way of the opening within the cross bar of the body and pulled taut.

Step 4: Align the entrance of the body with the rear body element in preparation for the body joiner element insertion (Determine 9).
Determine 9
Step 5: Place each body joiners into the slots on the entrance and rear frames (Determine 10). This joiner aids in holding the complete body collectively.

Step 6: Place the 2 u-shaped physique connectors on the highest a part of every leg of the body meeting (Figures 11, 12, 13 and 14). These parts assist in holding the body stiff and simulates the underside a part of dragster physique parts to be designed sooner or later.

Step 7: Take the entrance axle and place it within the gap on one small wheel (Figures 15 and 16).

Step 8: Place the one small wheel and axle meeting by way of the holes within the entrance of the body (Determine 17).
Determine 17
Step 9: Take the remaining small wheel and connect it to the entrance axle that has been inserted into the body (Figures 18 and 19).

Determine 19
Step 10: Place the rear axle meeting within the rear of the body meeting between the holes within the rear of the body (Determine 20). This might be in preparation for attachment of the 2 massive wheel assemblies.
Determine 20
Step 11: Connect every rear wheel meeting into the sq. holes on every finish of the rear axle (Figures 21, 22, 23 and 24).

Step 12: Place the rubber band backlash guard on to the dragster body (Figures 25 and 26).

The Band-it Dragster is now utterly assembled. To supply propulsion for the dragster, place the rubber band on the pin of the rear axle (Figures 27 and 28). Rotate the rear wheel meeting to coil the rubber band across the rear axle. Now you might be free to let it go and see how far the dragster can journey.
