How to Make a Robot Transformer Car with Engineer

Introduction

Robot transformers are popular toys that can change from one form to another, such as from a car to a robot. They are often made of plastic and metal, and they can be controlled by a remote control or by a computer program.

In this guide, we will show you how to make a simple robot transformer car using the Engineer software. Engineer is a free and open-source software that allows you to design and build 3D models.

Materials

To make this project, you will need the following materials:

* A computer with Engineer installed
* A 3D printer
* PLA filament
* Wire
* Solder
* A soldering iron
* A screwdriver
* A pair of pliers

Step 1: Design the Car

The first step is to design the car in Engineer. You can use the basic shapes provided in Engineer to create the body of the car, the wheels, and the other parts.

Once you have created the basic shapes, you can add details to the car, such as windows, doors, and headlights. You can also use the sculpting tools in Engineer to create more complex shapes.

When you are finished designing the car, you can export the file as an STL file.

Step 2: Print the Car

Once you have exported the car as an STL file, you can print it using a 3D printer. Make sure to use PLA filament, as it is the strongest and most durable material for 3D printing.

The printing process will take several hours, depending on the size of the car.

Step 3: Assemble the Car

Once the car is printed, you can assemble it. The assembly process is relatively simple, but you will need to be careful not to break any of the parts.

First, you will need to attach the wheels to the body of the car. You can do this using screws or glue.

Next, you will need to attach the other parts of the car, such as the windows, doors, and headlights. You can also use screws or glue to attach these parts.

Step 4: Wire the Car

Once the car is assembled, you will need to wire it. The wiring process is a bit more complex, but it is not too difficult.

First, you will need to solder the wires to the motors. The motors will be located in the wheels of the car.

Next, you will need to solder the wires to the battery. The battery will be located in the body of the car.

Finally, you will need to solder the wires to the remote control. The remote control will be used to control the car.

Step 5: Test the Car

Once the car is wired, you can test it. To test the car, you will need to turn on the remote control and press the buttons. The car should move forward, backward, left, and right.

If the car does not move, you will need to check the wiring. Make sure that all of the wires are soldered correctly.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now made a robot transformer car using Engineer. This project is a great way to learn about 3D printing, electronics, and robotics.
