Battery Buggy B

You can't screw directly into the abs, it will warp and everything will go wrong. if its pla, it will just shatter. U need to have threaded holes in your design.

I wouldn't be screwing into ABS. I would be screwing into cooled hot glue.

Screwing into hot glue is definitely not advised. Not only would everything melt, but anything placed into that hole would have very little support.

So I can't mount my micro switch like that?

Ok, I have embarked on my quest for the perfect F1 Battery Buggy ! I 3d printed this file I designed in Tinkercad:

My 8 mm square CF rod fits almost perfectly in the top square hole of the test print, but it is able to wiggle a little bit in the two bottom square holes. Is this normal?

The dimensions of each square hole are all the same: 8 mm side by 8 mm side by 1 cm depth. The hole in the middle is for the ball bearings.

Also, my test print came out a little bit warped. Not sure if that may be a problem.

I mean you could, but it would probably fall out after a while, but I guess you could try it.

That makes no sense, why would u screw something into hot glue that literally makes no sense...
ur better off just supergluing or something... u need to design the mount so it has threaded holes

How do I do that? Do I use the metric thread generator in Tinkercad?

I don't know anything about Tinkercad, but if you used Autodesk Inventor it would be really simple.

Sorry for double posting, I am on a time crunch so I want to make sure people see my questions.
