The file 'Robot Tank Blower (YP100) 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 52.7KB.
I made this kit to use my yp100 "robot tank" to blow leaves. It uses the following parts:
Xfly Galaxy 8 4s EDF https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096V6NX4J/
80A brushless esc (though 60A should work... draws ~40A full throttle on a fresh 4s)
4s5000 lipo battery
1/8" thick aluminum stock
Printed EDF mount
Printed EDF duct
Printed battery mounts
Assembly is straightforward, using all M3 hardware. The battery mounts are meant for a hardcase 4s5000, and fit existing holes on top of the yp100 frame (note photos were taken before I made the battery mounts... but the mounts are way better than a strap if they fit your pack). The aluminum beam on mine actually came from the old Y gantry of my A8 printer, lol. It's basically 1/8" 2" wide bar stock with some holes drilled in it to fit the EDF mount and the frame holes. Some craftsmanship/tools are required to make this part. The EDF mount is tilted down 5 degrees, which I found to be excellent for sweeping flat surfaces like driveways, walkways, and rooftops. Make sure to mount so the air blows away from the tracks lol. The duct just tapes on to the EDF with whatever tape you like. Don't ommit this part; it helps keep the motor cool, protects it from damage, and makes the system more efficient (ie blows leaves better with it installed vs without).
How well does it work? Wow... pretty much sums it up. The galaxy x8 edf worked great, and the mounting/setup proved durable. I was able to clean a fairly heavy buildup of Camphor tree debris from the roof of my medium sized house in less than 30min, and still had to store discharge the pack. I accidentally rotated the wrong way with it on as I was cresting a roof ridge, and it rolled over a few times... no damage (lucky it didn't fall off the roof lol).
