3D print
If you are here you want 3D print nanosaur, it’s simple, but long.

In this guide you will find two different guidelines for three popular slicers:
Following this guideline the average time to print nanosaur is:
| Qt | Part | Material | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | base_rear.stl | PLA green | 3h | Base rear |
| 1 | base_front.stl | PLA green | 1:30h | Base front |
| 1 | cover.stl | PLA green | 1:45h | Cover |
| 2 | slider.stl | PLA green | 1h | Sliders |
| 1 | pb_holder.stl | PLA green | 20min | A - Combined Flap and power bank holder |
| 1 | flap_top.stl | PLA green | 45min | A - Combined Flap and power bank holder |
| 1 | flap_bottom.stl | PLA green | 45min | A - Combined Flap and power bank holder |
| 2 | sprocket.stl | PLA green/black | 1h | B - Combined Wheels and sprockets |
| 2 | wheel.stl | PLA green/black | 1h | B - Combined Wheels and sprockets |
| 2 | track_print.stl | TPU black/grey | 1:30h | Track |
| Total | 15h |
Download you can obtain all Nanosaur parts only downloading this zip file nanosaur-stl.zip
Hint On nanosaur-stl.zip you can find a folder 025in for ball bearings with size ID 1/4in x OD 1/2in
Print PLA parts
You can split all parts following this guideline and setup the printer using this profile:
- Layer height: 0.2mm
- Print speed: 50mm/s
- Infill: 15%
Base rear
To print this parts you need a PLA green. The average time will be: 5h
| Quantity | Part | 3D view |
|---|---|---|

Base front
To print this parts you need a PLA green. The average time will be: 1h and 30min.
| Quantity | Part | 3D view |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | base_front.stl |
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Supports: Enable
- Support structure: Tree
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Generate support material: Enable
- Support on build plate only: Enable
- Don’t support brides: Disable
Wheels and sprockets
Hint On nanosaur-stl.zip you can find a folder 025in for ball bearings with size ID 1/4in x OD 1/2in
To print this parts you need a PLA green/black. The average time will be: 2h.

| 2 | wheel.stl |
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Use the auto arrange button
- Supports: Disable

Sliders
To print this parts you need a PLA green. The average time will be: 2h.
| Quantity | Part | 3D view |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | slider.stl |
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Supports: Disable
-
Displacement:
- Left: x=0 y=15
- Right: x=0 y=-15
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Use the auto arrange button
- Supports: Disable
Flap and Power bank holder
To print this parts you need a PLA green. The average time will be: 1h and 45min.
| Quantity | Part | 3D view |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | flap_top.stl | |
| 1 | flap_bottom.stl | |
| 1 | pb_holder.stl |
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Supports: Enable
- Support structure: Tree
-
Displacement:
- flap_bottom.stl: x=20 y=0
- flat_top.stl: x=-20 y=0
- pb_holder.stl: x=-55 y=0
Follow the images and using the Paint-on supports tool block all supports on:
- Power bank holder
- Upper flap
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Generate support material: Enable
- Support on build plate only: Enable
- Don’t support brides: Disable
Cover
nanosaur offers different covers for each camera or stereo camera choice. Select here which camera you prefer to print.
Hint A new cover for OAK-D lite will coming soon!
Print tracks
The nanosaur tracks are the hardest to print. You need a good 3D printer, better if your printer is direct drive. Otherwise I suggest to use a Ninjatek TPU, sufficient elastic to make these tracks.
The average time will be: 1h and 30min for each track
| Quantity | Part | 3D view |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | track_print.stl |
I suggest orienting the STL following this picture and setup with:
- Print speed: 30mm/s
- Infill: 10%
- Supports: Disable
- Retraction: Disable
