RC shock absorber 8C

Hey everyone, I've build this RC shock absorber type for one of my future projects. I needed 2 specific sizes for it, so I decided to build them myself.

Please read the complete description.

There a 4 sizes available (see the images) for more details:

- 80 mm long with 76mm between the mounting holes

- 71mm long with 67mm between the mounting holes

- 60 mm long with 56mm between the mounting holes

- 51 mm long with 47mm between the mounting holes

The full diameter of the shock absorber is only 8mm, if your printer setup is good, everything should be a tight fit at first. PLA will give way a bit after a few compression cycles.

Hope it fits one of your projects too :)

I would recommend printing the cylinder cap and the endcap  from a more durable material such as ASA or ABS for more strength.

This model uses hardware parts from Bambu Lab.

My recommendations are:

-For the 30mm cylinder use a 30mm screw and 30mm spring

-For the 25mm cylinder use a 25mm screw and 25mm spring

-For the 20mm cylinder use a 18mm screw and 20mm spring

-For the 15mm cylinder use a 14mm screw and 15mm spring

The thickness of the spring wire is up to you.

Assembly is pretty straight forward:

Step 1: Press the M2 threaded brass heat-insert nut into the endcap

Step 2: put the screw in the cylinder

Step 3: Slide the spring onto the screw

Step 4:  Screw the endcap 

Step 5: Screw in the threaded cylinder cap

DONE

If  you like my 3D models, think about following me, I always have something cooking :)) in the mean time enjoy this model. Thanks!!
