Building Hints! Ask to see the Model Upper & Lower Steering Column with the Ball Bearing. This will help you understand what you are building. |

1. Build The Ball Bearing Structure
You can either look at those measurements and copy them...or do what I did and copy the "Motor Mount Ball Bearing Hole" and paste it TWICE in a new file you will create and name it "Lower_Steering Column." Let one of the two holes remain a hole, and make the other one a solid color. I am going to save you some time...
Center the Ball Bearing Hole inside inside the larger solid colored ball bearing structure that you just created (Turn it: Center it in both the "X" and "Y" axis.). Be precise! You just completed the most important part! Add A Base Plate Connector To The Ball Bearing Structure

2. Build The Arms. Square Arm: H: 7, W: 3, L: 11 Add The 3 Holes: All Holes: 3.18mm x 3.18 mm.

3. Build Axle Hole Finally...Delete The Top Of The Ball Bearing Structure. Look at the 'Tinkercad Screen Shot' directly above. Create a 'Square' that is a 'Hole' and precisely line it up so that it deletes the top half of the 'Ball Bearing Structure' you created. It is very important to line up the the flat 'cut off' part of the steering column and the base of the square and the base of the rectangle or else the steering column will not print correctly. Trick: Look at the image directly above. Use the transparent block you created above to cut off half of the ball bearing structure to also cut off the base of the rectangle and square...this will keep the base of all 3 level with each other. Congratulations...You are done. Now go to print! |
