3D Penny Board

Ever want to print something truly awesome? Well here is your chance. Print a skateboard. The skateboard specifically is a penny board. The board its self is 100 % plastic. The trucks are from an old skateboard just for testing purposes. In total the print took 22 hours and 130 meters of filament. I mainly designed this to push the limits of 3d printing. Enjoy!

The first thing you need to do is 3d print all of the pieces. Get the pieces here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:890837

This is the easy part because you just have to sit back and watch your printer work. Each piece is printed at .2 precision and 100% infill and the pieces are 8 inches each.

Once printed gather all of your pieces. That will include your trucks of choice, and the 3d printed pieces.

To fit the pieces together I used my Dremel. This happens because why the printer prints the piece it warps just a little bit and that throws of the tight fit of the pieces. To secure them use a lot of hot glue and tightly squeeze together.

I know bear with me just try it. The hot glue will bond the trucks to the board.

Now you can't ride this but it does look pretty cool. Hope you enjoyed.

I had to scale down my print a little bit thus my truck holes are off. To fix this I pull out my trusty drill. I mark where the holes are and then I drill 4 holes per side. I specifically put 2 of the bolts through the connection.

Make sure there is a bolt between the connections. Now ride free! Check out my youtube video! What I have learned from this is that big prints are hard. They required a lot of tinkering. I also learned a lot about 3d printing! Don't forget to vote!
