There are a couple of basic parts to build your SMARS:

3D Printed Parts

It makes sense to print the parts in roughtly the order you are going to construct it in:

  1. The chassis
  2. The powered wheels x2
  3. The unpowered wheels x2
  4. The mechanical tracks x32
  5. The holding board (for the 9v battery)

You will also need:

  • some wire (preferably black and red)
  • some solder
  • some flux to make the solder adhere properly.

Tools

Tools required are:

  • a 3d printer
  • filament
  • a soldering iron

3D Printer settings
