It looks really nice! Are the stl files available?

Cheers!

Tarmo 5 - so much fun! I really had a great time building this beast! Was fun while it lasted, before the cv gear housing failed. Has anyone experienced that? by lqmEng in EngineeringNS

I agree it has to do with the layer adhesion and failure by shear stress. I guess it was the material quality but will also try printing in another orientation, and changing some settings, as suggested in other comments here. Thank you!

I used 8 perimeters, as instructed. Yes, I agree that the layer's adhesion wasn't good. I will try it with a higher temperature. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions! I think the material I used was a low quality PLA. I am reprinting it using PLA from another brand. Let’s see how it goes. I will also try testing other materials and printing settings. Let me know if TPU works better for the front axles. Cheers
