I'm excited to share the details of my BT Arduino Tank project, which incorporates some impressive 3D-printed components. While the main chassis of the tank was not 3D-printed, I utilized this technology to create two crucial parts: the enclosure for the motor driver and the compartment housing the remaining electronics. Additionally, I 3D-printed a cannon for an added touch of customization.

I'm excited to share the details of my BT Arduino Tank project, which incorporates some impressive 3D-printed components. While the main chassis of the tank was not 3D-printed, I utilized this technology to create two crucial parts: the enclosure for the motor driver and the compartment housing the remaining electronics. Additionally, I 3D-printed a cannon for an added touch of customization.

The enclosure for the motor driver served as a protective housing, ensuring that the L298N motor driver module was securely mounted and shielded from external elements. By designing and 3D-printing this part, I could precisely fit it to the tank's specifications, providing a neat and organized arrangement of the electronics.

In the same vein, the compartment for the remaining electronics, such as the Arduino Nano Every and the HC-05 Bluetooth module, was also 3D-printed. This enclosure offered a clean and organized solution for housing these components, safeguarding them while maintaining easy access for maintenance or modifications.

Lastly, to enhance the tank's appearance and add a touch of personalization, I designed and 3D-printed a cannon. This custom-printed cannon perfectly complemented the overall design, making the tank even more visually appealing.

By strategically incorporating 3D printing into specific parts of the project, I achieved a balance between functionality and customization. The precision and versatility of 3D printing allowed me to create tailored enclosures and a unique cannon, elevating the overall aesthetic and practicality of my BT Arduino Tank project.

    Step 1: 3D Print the Case

    The base and gun were designed by me. It can house the Nano and the battery, and it has an opening for the servo and BT Module. The cannon was also designed by me and I made it wide enough to fit my rubber duck. Adjust it as you wish. The case for the L298N was designed by Atom's Lab and the original can be found here.

     I use an Ender Envy 3 V2 and simple PLA, 0.2 mm. If you don't have a 3D printer, you can either order it online or find a local Fabrication Lab (many public libraries have one).

    Step 2: Prepare the Arduino Nano

    Install the Arduino IDE (if not already installed) on your computer and connect the Arduino Nano via USB cable.

    1. Select the appropriate board (Arduino Nano Every) and port in the Arduino IDE
    2. Install any necessary libraries (if required).
    3. SoftwareSerial
    4. Servo
    5. Upload the code

    NOTE: If you get an error when uploading the code, remove TX and RX and try again.

    Step 3: Prepare the Chassis

    Solder wires on the DC motors and then put everything together. Follow the instructions included and tight everything very well.
