LEGO Boost interactive motor shaft

[Tommy Styrvoky]

I increased the spacing for the axle walls by 5 microns, I am going to keep the size for the original on Shapeways, as that is the dimensions that Efferman uses for his axles.

Champion. Thanks mate. I'll catch up with the maker group soon to get it printed and let you know how it fits.

vxhall, thanks mate. What printer are you using? I'll check the specs as I want to make sure I use one with similar µm resolution.

Tommy, I have the original stl. Did you  get a chance to increase the axle size? If so, can I get a copy of this stl?

I use a local online printing service, don't know what kind of machine they are using. I think it's just some standard industrial printer.

Tommy,

Got a poor print from the local maker group using FDM. Local printing services want to charge me an arm and a leg.

Ordered 5 from your Shapeways store :). Have a number of these motors, so the spares won't go astray.

Thanks for all your help.

Tommy,

5 pieces arrived today and work a treat (have to boosts, so nice to know I have spares).

Thanks Tommy for the solution, and vxhall for raising the original forum post.

Hi Tommy!

I have the same problem with boost motor 6181852, the red part is broken. I tried to open the motor, but I was not succesful. Could you please explain me, how did you open that?

Thank you very much for your help!

Petr, there are two tabs to push on the top and another two on the bottom (using screwdriver or similar).

Ahoj Petre,
chtel bych se zeptat, jestli se ti podarilo vytisknout tu hridel. Pokud jsi si to tisknul v nejaky firme, poslal by jsi mi prosim o jakou firmu se jednalo a na kolik to vyslo?
Predem diky

Hey guys,
why didn't you claim this for warranty?

[rob79au]

I did. I’ve had a replacement motor on back order for over a month.

Regardless, for the price of the replacement spindle I have a second/spare motor.
