Description

This is a fully printable building set at 200% scale. It's based on the side model of the 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator. All parts were individually modeled for 3D printing so there's very little post processing and material waste, and it only took around 3 days to print.

Functions:

Working steering
Tippable bed
Spinning wheels

Important Info:

Make sure to leave filament as Bambu PLA in the slicer, otherwise dimensional accuracy might be affected.
Some parts are printed in a different color than the instructions, such as tan or brown. Just use the closest color when building.
Instructions can be found in the attached assembly guide.
The only post-processing required is to remove brims and supports from a couple small pieces.

I hope you enjoy printing and building this model, I had a blast making it!

Great print, took about 2 weeks for me to print and build but came out spectacular. I have a few pointers for anyone attempting this build: 1. Don't go into this expecting everything to snap together nice and smooth like Lego. Because this is PLA and not smooth plastic things dont just slip together nicely and you have to apply force in some situations, mostly I found when using the blue pegs. 2. Purchase a small rubber mallet, I found this to be invaluable smacking some of the more difficult pieces together. 3. Print a few extra blue pegs, I did snap a few. 4. Utilize rafts when printing the pegs because of the small plate contact area. Without a brim / raft these probably will fall over. I found tiny rafts easier to snap off than brims. Just my personal preference but I also did the tires out of TPU for a nice little effect. Gyroid Infill at 15% made them feel really nice and squishy.

Nice and easy to print

@KattInYourHat

Is the general idea to enable supports for parts that will obviously need it? Or are supports supposed to be built in? Printing Plate #4 white now, and the large object is going to try to bridge the overhang but I have my doubts that will succeed.

For reference

@HarryPorpise

All the parts that need supports already have them enabled, that plate should print fine without supports. edit: I just looked at the image and it looks like it’s trying to go the long way for some reason. If it is, rotate the part by 90° and it should be fine.

having a ton of issues with small parts sticking to the bed

@HarryPorpise

make sure to clean your bed, use dawn dish soap or isopropyl alcohol. what bed are you using?

@KattInYourHat

Replying to @HarryPorpise :

Bambu labs textured PEI, and I have cleaned it with dish soap and water. The smaller parts like on the white plate 1 are what are breaking off. I added a brim and that seems to have helped.

@HarryPorpise

Replying to @KattInYourHat :

Weird, all of my parts stuck perfectly. Glad you figured it out!
