Hello, I'm noob here...currently tryng to make a DOGO replica using my 3d printer. this mini UGV can shoot using Glock 26. is it still in this forum's scope? or OOT..? :D

yess...Yeehaw...๐Ÿ˜…

This one has pan and tilt feature...that is what I'm looking for... Then I have to make modifications...make everything bigger;,...bigger motor,maybe 360 degree servo on the head...and so on

This would be SIIIICK. I've wanted one of these when it came out 15 years ago but they were insanely priced.

[โ€“] kugelfang9 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You know the price? How much is it? I think my design plan will not be the same with DOGO, more like a tank/tracked wheel vehicle with pan/tilt head....I will grab some RC tank design from thingiverse and then modify them...so it is not a "replica"...:D

[โ€“] Azka 1 points 1 day ago

It was so long ago I don't remember an actual number, I do remember completely writing it off. I feel like it was 3999, but who knows

[โ€“] kugelfang9 6 points 3 days ago

you can download its 3d model from rigmodels.com btw...

How would you control it? Raspberry pi or arduino?

[โ€“] kugelfang9 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I plan to use APM/Pixhawk for this...I have some of those boards laying around collecting dust.what do you think?

[โ€“] t1nman 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never heard of apm/pixhawk? I have a few d9fferent raspberry pi boards, I've done a few different projects with them but im definitely not a pro. Bought an arduino recently to use for temp/humidity sensors for my greenhouse, but havent got around to it yet. Id definitely say pi would be easier than arduino to pull off.

Pixhawk is a flight controller,people usually use it for DIY drones. We can configure it using Mission Planner software (free),there are some options ..what you want it to be...multicopter drone,plane, or rover...and APM is the predecessor of pixhawk.

Ardupilot Rover has a camera gimbal feature that might make for a good turret controller, if anyone's interested in those kinds of UGVs: https://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/common-cameras-and-gimbals.html

[โ€“] t1nman 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've never used any, but I have seen 3d printed impact grenades for drones, so that would be cool. But a rover that could shoot a gun would be pretty bad ass too. Damn, idk.... kinda feel like a drone would be the easiest option, but im ignorant on the subject, so im just guessing here

[โ€“] kugelfang9 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At the same time...currently I'm building drones that can shoot...like the drones in Ghost Recon video games...made by "Skell Technologies" ...seems like it use glock also.. https://80.lv/articles/designing-drones-for-ghost-recon-breakpoint

[โ€“] t1nman 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is very interesting.... How much weight can they handle? Does it just depend how big the motor or propeller things are?

[โ€“] kugelfang9 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yes..I'm modifying a ready off the shelf drone,DJI Inspire 1.you can google its max payload..around 3400 grams.there are some videos on YT about people testing its lifting capability.the challenge are how to mount the gun and how to design the recoil compensator...I have to make a completely new frame design for it,so I can attach/swap many kind of payload underneath its belly..i.e aerial mapping camera(s), net gun for catching drone, or gun,etc...actually my main purpose is using this old drone to carry heavy sensor for earth exploration,while carrying gun is just for fun/experiment. Anyway,is there any design of recoilless gun here? :D

Maybe we could come up with a mini version? What about a .22? Not much recoil there

[โ€“] kugelfang9 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm thinking about that also...I have a lot of nail gun blanks at home...still looking for the correct way to convert it to 22lr. maybe I have to make the pellet/projectile mould using 3d printer? see...I'm noob...:(

[โ€“] t1nman 1 points 1 day ago

I dont have experience with that. Maybe someone on r/gunnitrust or here could help. Used to b a sub called diyguns but reddit banned that too

[โ€“] lemmyseethings 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Im not sure if you mean to specifically clone this design of UGV, but if you are interested in more generally any UGV capable of mounting a yeeter on it, then theres a huge number of videos and tutorials on ones that use lower-impact things like airsoft, paintball, or nerf blasters. Plenty of the designs could be altered if necessary too to handle something with more recoil.

[โ€“] kugelfang9 4 points 2 days ago

Yes, I mean now I'm more interested in more general UGV that can carry any kind of payload on it, like cameras, robotic arm, and guns etc....and I've found more suitable design ..the name is Freefly Tero. I'm sure you are already saw the videos of it circulating on the net, video of this Tero carrying a gatling gun ...

But I still want to finish the project I've started ...so maybe I will make two UGVs; one Dogo and one Tero...:D Some weeks ago I've printed the top part of the DOGO (the gun holder box), I just curious to see the size of it and interestingly it is perfectly fit to my Elegoo Centauri Carbon print bed.. I want to use the printed part to design the gun holder /clamp and the trigger mechanism using my G26 toy gun, but cant finish it because I have to go to other city for my job...so now it's postponed.
