The NEW version of the garbage truck is out now (changelog at the bottom)! The previous version was great, but there were things I wanted to change. It's now MUCH easier to build with huge quality of life improvements with the lessons I learned designing the first one. I also uploaded a "logo-less" version of the truck bin to my Patreon for members! I spent many hours designing this, so please consider supporting me in any way, either by following me here or on social media, joining my Patreon, or even just boosting me! Here are some of the differences/improvements: 1. The power switch is now fully and easily accessible from the exterior of the truck. 2. Entirely new gearing system; the lift arms can now lift more than half a pound! The gears were also designed to eliminate slippage. 3. The cab axle holder now pushes forward to create tension in the gearing system, ensuring full power from the servo is transferred to the lift arms. 4. The interior of the chassis has been completely redesigned. The battery is now accessible from inside the chassis, making it easy to charge the battery. 5. The chassis cover snaps on and off the chassis body easily, but is also snug to prevent it from coming off with the truck bin. 6. If you printed the previous truck bin, that is entirely BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE with this version (however, I did make minor improvements on this version). There are also other parts that are backwards compatible that I will list below. 7. New brake LEDs with reverse lights! Both the headlights and the backlights now have a new way of installing into the truck; no tape needed anymore! 8. There are now LED diffusers! These are optional of course. Thank you so much for all of your support!

I’ve uploaded a new assmebly guide for the CyberBrick Garbage Truck! It hasn’t uploaded to the MakerWorld posting yet but it should be available there soon as well. In the meantime: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mIdIKh3tlkBEOKMWnsaUfhbyvdk9YWAt/view?usp=drivesdk I also wanted to say that since CyberBrick availability seems to be hit or miss right now, I will soon be adding a special arm adapter to the lifter mechanism on the garbage truck so those without CyberBrick modules yet can still play with it! Thanks everyone!

I have grinded the past 7 days non-stop, working on this new model that I am SO proud to release to you all. It's my very first CyberBrick model. Since my print-in-place garbage truck is one of my most popular models, I decided to take it to the next level with a functional garbage truck! I hope you all love this model as much as I do!
