Should do a john Deere articulated dump truck. Maybe even a trailer to haul the mini skidi
The joys of doing what you love @ProfessorBoots can't stop smiling, you look happy doing what you are doing and it brings me joy seeing this. Keep up the good work.
Most excellent follow through on a very detailed project. I am happy to see you come through on all counts. Have fun!!
Just got my mini skidi as a Christmas present! Excited to print all the parts and put it together!
You are about to get me in trouble. These will be some cool series. I look forward to putting together my Mini Skidi and now, my dump truck...!
Haha that’s what I like to hear!
This is great!
The missing element from your instructions is a list of required screws, so we know what we need before getting to the step that needs what you find out you don’t have. 😀
Good point I’ll make sure to add that Information!
Or add it to the 3D files at this point😂
@@professorboots oh, and adding an external hint for where the flats are in the drive axels, would be helpful. Super hard to see in a tiny black hole 🕳️
Damn your channel is really underrated. I really like how you create custom pcbs for your models which makes cable management a lot easier and tidier
4:50 Sainsmart is my go-to TPU as well. Easy to get and always prints reliably and consistently for me.
Can you make a RC 3D Printed excavator, in this size or bigger?
I need this
@ProfessorBoots I tried to order an electronics kit, but there is no shipping outside of the US. I live in Switzerland. Good work btw!!
Can you do a small robotic arm for a desk? That would be awesome! I really like the electronics kit you have set up on your site!! Great work man!!
I’ve been thinking more and more about doing something like that so maybe possibly! Also thank you very much I appreciate it!
Great amount of detail and a super fun project! :D
love your reddit, working on a n20 worm gear for the lifting arm to handle the weight at any height without moving down
Awesome little project!! I got mine together but im finding that the arm motor has no power... i can barely lift the bucket with the claw attachment at full charge but i went and got a 550mah 7.4v lipo battery and feel like its that... i noticed that even with free moving parts its very sluggish in forward and reverse but turning is quick.. im going to get the battery you suggest to see if that helps, but im not sure if thats 100% the issue 😅 asside for that i love it!! I added the quick attach piece for the forks and bucket and got a 3" servo extension that i glued to the arm for quick plug and play with the claw servo and its perfect. I just need to figure out why it cant lift its arm with its own strength.
Hey! I’m happy to hear you like the project though bummed you’re having troubles with the arm. If you send me an email through my website I can help you troubleshoot and get you some new parts to fix the issue! Thank you for supporting the channel!
I think I figured out the issue, but if anymore arise i'll be sure to reach out to let you know! I found a high torque 100rpm n20 motor and put it in place of the arm motor and it lifts atleast 3x more and holds its lifted position better than it was when I was having issues. I still find it to be sluggish in comparison to the skidi in your video, and you can hear the strain on the drive motors but I might just need to clean out the axle holes more and I might lubricate the axles as well. That or I might try another 5v buck converter before I try the recommend battery 😆
Nice project, but it seems I can't have the kit delivered outside the usa ?😢
@ProfessorBoots The kit is not available outside the us :( so i would like to source myself everything. Everything was easily identifiable by the pictures. What I am missing are the motors. How many rpm do they have?
Hey! The motors are 100rpm
Waw your mini skiddy is getting tons of views now vs the other topics
I want to build one right now!
Im looking to build one, but I couldn't find the wiring diagrams, pcb etc in the link you provided, is it possible to acces them still?
I hope the dumptruck is to scale with the MiniSkidee haha
Mini grader would be cool?
How did you design the printed C clips? Both the clip it’s self and the clip mounted end (I guess that’s what you can call it).
Tats one tight lip. Orderd ma dude.
Heck yeah dude! Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@professorboots How long until the dump truck is ready!!
I’m shooting to release 1.0 this Sunday but we’ll see haha.
Building this up, and it basically works, but with one oddity. Forward and reverse on the keypad are swapped. But the left and right arrows turn in the correct direction. When the right arrow is pressed, the left wheels turn forward and the right wheels turn in reverse, which is as I would expect. So if I swap the polarity of the motor wires, then it would go forward and backwards correctly, but the left and right arrows would be reversed. FWIW, these motors do not have black and red wires, rather they're both white, but one is marked with a red stripe. Hard to imagine the red striped one would be negative. So is the left and right wheel direction operating as you would expect?
Hello, hmmm try swapping the wires in the left motor terminal block to the right terminal while keeping the same orientation, and vice versa.
Swapping the motors fixed the issue. That was my mistake, I guess because the wires for the left side drive motor come out on the right side of the chassis, I went with wire left/right instead of motor left/right. However, on the arm up/down, I did have to reverse the wires there to get the controls to match what you were demonstrating.
Overall, a very nice little kit, doesn't take long to assemble. My one gripe is those screw terminal blocks are crap. I've used those type on a number of projects, and typically used FCI or Amphenol. These would NOT release the wire when they were unscrewed. My advice is that after loosening the screw, use a dental or hook pick to pop the leaf that holds down the wire. Also a good idea to tin the wires before attempting to insert them.
Is proportional control with a TX possible with an ELRS system while preserving the app functionality if wanted?
Excellent!
Do you have a forklift build? if you do i think I missed that build.
Sadly not yet, buts it’s on the to-do list
I'll keep my eye out for it.
I'm looking for one for my 1/14th scale semi.@@professorboots
I’d love to be able to load mini skidi hands free into future mini dumpi. Like shown here.
ruclips.net/video/FZEGK5XjFRY/видео.htmlsi=AdF8wWkP_kZL4Ipd
Also, consider powered cafe doors for mini dumpi or use rear tailgate as ramps Or even a lower solid rear like large earth movers.
Lastly, would be awesome to daisy chain Wi-Fi modules so we can go back and forth between mini skidi and mini dumpi without disconnecting and reconnecting Wi-Fi’s or needing two controllers. Wi-Fi repeater or Bluetooth maybe for second connection?
Keep up the great work! If you run into issues or it gets to the point where this becomes overwhelming, please reach out! I know there are many of us who would gladly help with modeling challenges or whatever you need. There’s no reason to stress, when a person begins such a great project as this, they need to learn when to delegate. We want to help!!
God bless:)
great work
Please can you send me the links to the individual parts since I live In the uk I can not get your kit
Hey. Thanks for the giveaway. I love the bigger dumb truck like the caterpillar ones
Hey! No I didn’t remove it, did you see my initial response on your giveaway comment?
@professorboots No, for some reason, I can't even find my original comment. It's so strange. And nothing shows up in my emails or my alerts on the RUclips app.
@@Andre_M_3D hmmm that’s strange but no matter same user tag here so this’ll do. Email me at professorjohnnyboots@gmail.com
@professorboots sounds good. I sent the email a few days ago. Hopefully, you get it. Thanks 😊
Hmmm I’ve done an extensive search and I haven’t found anything, might be worth sending again. Make sure to include that it’s AndyRC
if you whant to work in a better version of the skidsteer i whould try stepper motors
For some reason I can’t get my arm motor to move down any way how to fix
Would it be possible to connect it to a controller, being a PS5 or maybe Xbox?
Absolutely, at some point I have plans on writing the code to connect it to a ps4/2 controller
Is it possible to make this work with an rc transmitter ive never liked using a phone to control rc
It would be really easy to set it up via a PlayStation controller if that would suffice. Otherwise you would pry have to swap out all the current electrical components
Need this kit shipped to UK!
And Germany
How I can make that web browser controller for my own project?
where do i find the custom board online
could you link the screws you used
Please can you make this available in the UK.
Hello nice Skidder i want buy the pre soldered, i from switzerland
Hello, unfortunately I don’t have shipping available to other countries but there are companies that act as the middleman and allow you to receive the product in other countries. I’d check out Shippsy or something similiar for your area.
Any way to buy an electronics kit in europe? I want to build one really bad and would love to buy from you but I can't ship to Belgium :/
Shipping internationally is something I would love to do but still working on figuring out all the restrictions and laws
Do you ship to Australia?
Can the electronic parts be listed as to source from Aliexpress?
Cool
Let us buy this in the UK please
Still working on international shipping, there’s sadly alot of regulations in place
You should do a semi
Will it restock on the website?
I’m on back order at the moment but If you place an order it’ll put you next in line once I’m caught up
I have an issue with Wifi control.
basically my devices don't see the internet on the ESP WiFi and switch back to my normal wifi.
how hard would it be to add sBus control so I can plug in a frSky mini Rx and use my RC radio?
Hmmm that’s strange are you using the exact settup as in the video? And it wouldn’t be to terribly hard I don’t think though it would require some manual wiring
@@professorboots I have it working, but the WiFi reverts to my house WiFi some times, and I don’t know what triggers it. I think the code should fail safe with loss of communication (maybe possible with web page…), I had it start to run the arm motor continuously when it did it the first time.
Good idea! I’ll implement that
Make a mulcher for it
Bro I kinda want to build it now just for that turtle mode lmao
Turtle mode is a defining feature for sure😂
Did you remove the comment I made yesterday? If not then there must be issues with RUclips. Tks
