Hi Nick, where did you get the universal joint STL file from? I could really do with that!!
Also, please keep posting your builds, scale just doesn’t matter

The ujoint was something i modded in cura,borrowed driveshaft parts from mrcrankyface on thingiverse,if i remember correctly i shrunk down to 65% then printed,had to drill all holes to the correct size.,i think i have it saved on my cura filesas a complete driveshaft set,ill have a look somefime today,if i have it saved ill post it,if i didnt savd youll have to the time consuming work and pickout all the parts that you need from his files.
It will be a few hours befote im back at my computer,i believe its in this file.my mobile site wont let me view the files.i just kept reducing size till the yokes fit over the stock universal,same size as stock.id would print n test 1 yoke at a time.

Hi Nick,
No rush mate, just looks the perfect fit for replacing the std WPL joints for something more substantial.

im not great with computers.when i load the file into cura i cant edit it,even though i saved from my last print of these parts.
when i attatch it states file is too large,i tried copy n paste.ill play around with it later.
maybe i can do it with email if you wanna try that route,untill i can figure out to directly upload here.

redid my n20 dual mount file if someone needs it.
NOTE wont be direct fit for wpl trucks or adrians original design,perfect for the 85% ossum using stock wpl shafts and axels.
will fit adriens mount with 2 holes direct,have to drill a 3rd hole but driveshaft length will be different for my design for shorter wheelbase.
n20 mount

and the yokes i used printed 55% in petg or stronger material,drill holes to 3mm for shaft and 1/16 for wpl universal add 2 set screws.
