As cool as the TiLander was, it wasn’t the best at taking hits and, more importantly, replacing parts is expensive. My friend Isaak Malers has been working tirelessly the last few years trying to make 3d printed chassis’s viable in antweights. After showing me how flexible printed nylon is, I decided to design the next Highlander around an entirely 3d printed nylon chassis. (Note that it’s white at the top because he ran out black part way through the print, but it’s still all one piece.)
I didn’t take many pictures during the build, so here are some pictures from the event. It was basically a drop-in replacement with the new chassis and I even had enough weight for actual top armor!
The nylon held up FANTASTICALLY and Highlander managed to snag 2nd place!
