Sidecar Velorex 560 - PART No.2 - Connecting rods

Hope the 1st part was fun for you :)

https://www.printables.com/cs/model/861669-sidecar-velorex-560

As usual the model part consist a big parts but the very small also so pay attention to the description and attached pictures. As usual be extremely careful during the assembly itself and work slowly and cautiously.
If you manage to damage or break some part despite being extra careful you should "weld" it with a soldering gun rather than gluing it with super glue.

For today I prepared to you all connection rods for connection of the sidecar frame to the motorcycle.

If you will need more pictures for better understanding, you can see here:

at first we started with the TOP FRONT connection rod

Printing instruction:

• top_screw_head - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• bottom_screw_head - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• main_screw - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer, 2 perimeters.
• top_front_rod - 1 piece, red PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer, 2 perimeters.

Assembly instruction:

• In the main_screw.stl and the top_front_rod.stl cut the M5 threads and test the assembly.
• Cut a 12mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the top_screw_head.stl.
• Cut a 19mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the bottom_screw_head.stl

at second we will continue with the TOP REAR connection rod

Printing instruction:

• top_screw_head - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• bottom_screw_head - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• main_screw - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer, 2 perimeters.
• top_rear_rod - 1 piece, red PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer, 2 perimeters.
• top_rear_holder_1 - 1 piece, red PLA, 100% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• top_rear_holder_2 - 1 piece, red PLA, 100% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• top_rear_holder_3 - 1 piece, red PLA, 100% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.

Assembly instruction:

• In the main_screw.stl and the top_front_rod.stl cut the M5 threads and test the assembly.
• Cut a 40mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the top_screw_head.stl.
• Cut a 19mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the bottom_screw_head.stl

at third we will continue with the BOTTOM FRONT connection rod

Printing instruction:

• ball_screw - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• collet - 2 pcs, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• collet_nut - 1 piece, grey/silver PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.

• bottom_front_rod - 1 piece, red PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• spacer - 1 piece, red PLA, 100% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.

Assembly instruction:

• In the collet_nut.stl cut the M3 thread.
• Cut a 20mm long M3 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the collet_screw.stl.
• Cut a 32mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the ball_screw.stl

at fourth we will continue with the BOTTOM REAR connection rod

Printing instruction:

• bottom_rear_rod - 1 piece, red PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• bottom_rear_holder - 1 piece, red PLA, 40% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.
• bottom_rear_spacer - 2 pcs, red PLA, 100% infill, 0.15-0.2 layer.

Assembly instruction:

• Cut a 34mm long M4 threaded rod and use super glue to stick it into the bottom_rear_rod.stl

FINAL assembly instruction:

• Install the ball screw assembly into front engine mounts with M4 nut and the spacer

• Install the bottom rear holder with the 2 spacers to the motorcycle frame. For fixation you will need 2 pcs M2.5-13 screws with nuts.

• Install the top rear holder under the seat with 2 spacers and a nut M4.

• Install top front holder with M4 nut.

• Install 2 pcs of the bottom screw assembly into sidecar frame with M4 nuts.
• insert bottom front rod into hole inf the sidecar's frame.
• Set aside all remaining parts and store carefully. They will be needed in the next sequel.

And.. that's all for now :)

Bill of material:

• 2x nut M2.5
• 6x low nut M4
• 2x nut low M5
