XRP Chip Mount and Battery Holder

Hello Everyone,

Before I start working on it myself is there any available file of the core of the XRP Chassis. Meaning only the stack where the chip and the batteries are located? I am trying to do an assignment where my students design their own chassis and being in 8th grade they struggle a bit with the tolerances on measurements.

Hello pp-belen,

What program are you using to do the design in?

The reason i ask is I’ve been doing some experimenting in tinkercad with modifying the frame.

I’m working on a video that shows the process to create a shortened frame, similar to what was shown earlier on the forum, however that video isn’t quite done yet.

Hey there TFossDK, I am having the boys work in OnShape. They did some rudimentary lessons at the beginning of the year and I have been having them practice. Because of that I will be working on that in that ecosystem.

I made an stl one early on int tinkercad thinking the same thing but it was the early v1 chassis design. I ended up not using it, but I could certainly send the file.

I eventually decided on the existing chassis rail mounting system offered enough opportunity for design and build for the kids.

Is this what you are thinking @pp-belen? I can’t attach .stl files to this page, however if you want i could email this file over if this is what you are looking for.

Also as another option, I can also export it as an .obj file as well.

Are the 3D files around for the current chassis, I found some but they were the earlier one with the different battery door.

Yes this is exactly what I am looking for! Did you chop that up on a slicer?

I actually used Tinkercad to cut it up.

I’ve been using Tinkercad more recently and I’m finding it is actually pretty good for modifying .stl files.

To accomplish this, I imported the frame and then drew two of the “Hole” boxes around the two sides i wanted to remove. I then joined those two boxes with the frame to remove the parts that i didn’t want.
