Since the start of my obsession with 3D printing and computer aided design, Motorsports has been on my mind. The Educational Brake Caliper is my first Motorsports related design to be released to the public.
This caliper is based on a race car style brake caliper featuring quick release brake pads and dual pistons. This caliper is FULL SIZED and was modeled off of a Dwarf Car style Race Car.
Instead of uploading a somewhat complicated design to Pinshape and letting you try to figure out what you have, I've opted to include some significant documentation so that this caliper can be shown and used as a hands-on educational piece. The document can be found with the STL files and is labelled, 'EducationalBrakeCaliper-Final.pdf'.
Along with it being based on an educational design, this caliper fits perfectly on a shelf or a desk as a display showing all of its intricacies with the included display stand.
My intent with the documentation provided will be to help you with printing, assembling, understanding, teaching and testing with this caliper. My suggestion would be to have you thumb through the document before starting this print so you have an idea on how it should go. Thank you ☺

The brake rotor is an important part of the vehicle's braking system. When you change the brake rotor, you need to replace the included brake unit to ensure safe driving. The included brake kit includes brake calipers and brake pads. The caliper then presses the brake pads against the rotor, creating friction that causes your vehicle to slow down <a href="https://super-mario.io">Super Mario</a>

Your car's brake pads and pistons are housed in the brake caliper. What should you do if you're having trouble with your homework? This <a href="http://charitymatheson.com/">charitymatheson.com</a> provided me with the answer. It's sometimes a matter of taking a vacation from work or going backward. Before attempting to solve the problem again, you may need to relax and think about it. Its job is to slow the wheels of the car down by causing friction between the braking rotors.
Hi Chris, Iam just new to 3D printing as a Hobby, I have a CreatBot 2 head unit, I downloaded the Caliper files and put it into the software Creatware and it is coming up with a cost to buy, But on the main page it's Free, So am i doing some think wrong in the set up? I was going to use this to learn multi printers and colours
