How Hack A Golf Cart With 3D Printing And Cyber NOW Carriage

(Relevant Cyber NOW Education)

Tyler Wall, CEO of Cyber NOW Education, restored a vintage Fairplay golf cart—the Cyber NOW® Carriage—using 3D-printed parts designed in Fusion 360. This project highlights the intersection of cybersecurity, engineering, and DIY fabrication.

You Should Know:

1. Reverse Engineering with Fusion 360

Use Fusion 360 to model missing parts:

Install Fusion 360 (Linux via Wine) 
wine setup_fusion360.exe

Export designs for 3D printing:

Convert STL to G-code (PrusaSlicer) 
prusa-slicer -g input.stl -o output.gcode

2. 3D Printing with Bambu Lab Printers

Execute prints via CLI (if supported):

Send G-code to printer (OctoPrint) 
curl -X POST http://octopi.local/api/files/local --form "[email protected]"

3. Cybersecurity Implications of IoT in Custom Builds

Secure your 3D printer’s network:

Block unauthorized access (Linux iptables) 
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP

Check for open ports on your printer:
```
nmap -sV 192.168.1.100 
```

4. Firmware Hacking for Legacy Systems

Dump firmware from the golf cart’s controller:

Use Bus Pirate for UART (Linux) 
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Modify firmware with Radare2:
```
r2 -w firmware.bin 
```

What Undercode Say:

This project merges physical hacking with cybersecurity. Key takeaways:
– 3D printing revives legacy hardware.
– Network security is critical for IoT-enabled builds.
– Reverse engineering unlocks customization.

Expected Output:

A functional Cyber NOW® Carriage with custom 3D-printed parts.
A secure, isolated network for IoT devices.

Prediction:

Future cyber-physical projects will increasingly rely on open-source tools and DIY fabrication, blurring the lines between cybersecurity and hardware hacking.
