Traxxas Maxx Rear Support Bracket

This type of bracket was recommended to me to help minimize damage to the rear fender of my Traxxas Maxx v2.  I couldn't find a free print file online for one and didn't want to purchase one, so I designed my own.  The bracket lightly sits on the rear bumper so that the rear body plastic won't bend down too much during a crash and crack.

I printed with the following settings using regular PLA (might not be the best material choice - a TPU with a little flex might be best):

• 0.2 mm layer height

• 5 wall loops

• 60% gyroid infill

For some asthetics I also did:

• ironing on top surfaces with a speed of 50 mm/s and flow of 40%

• wall print order of inner/outer/inner

• *note these settings were not applied to the sample images shown above*

A .3mf file is also available with all of these settings.

NOTE: You need to use longer screws to attach the bracket.  The bracket will come off in a crash using the stock screws.  They aren't long enough to get a good grip.  I used M3x12 screws and have had no issues.

If you print this, please take a picture and add a make for others to see - it helps!
