Description

Summary

There are three ways to print this.

As single piece:- Please download STL file but there wont be any movements.

Multiple Pieces :- Download 3mf file with Full_dismantled.3mf. BEST QUALITY OUTPUT. Please use the 3mf file for assembly also.

  1. Combined:- You may use any 3D viewer software like 3D builder in windows to merge components according to your printer and filaments. The sky is the limit for this. As a sample, I have uploaded a combined model with the file ending with combined.3mf. This has reduced the main parts to print to just 8. There are also small links and locking bolts which can be ignored if you dont need movements.

Movements Included

  1. Dual Front Wheel Steering
  2. Counter Rotating Back Wheels
  3. Side Panel Doors Open

NOTE The tolerances to some elements are zero which has been intensionally provided to friction lock the elements while not in movements. You may have to fine tune the tolerance from your end using scaling function in slicer to ensure good fit without compromising movements. This also applies for the pins that make rotation possible between elements. Please proceed with printing all the pins after testing printing a pin and testing the fit of a joint. You should be able to find the adequate scaling factor with this.

Supports should be provided as required.

Appreciate the makes uploads. Open for suggestions.

Other Issues:The model looks great but why set the tolerances yourself? I shouldn't have to make endless test prints to find the right fit for axles. It's your job to provide a print-ready profile. Zero tolerance means no scaling for doors, leading to fit issues with either pins or the cabin frame. The model's impressive, but figuring out tolerances is tedious. Why not split the wheels into two parts for TPU tires? A steering mechanism would've been a nice addition too.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I will certainly look into the suggestion about the steering mechanism. Splitting TPU wheels would have been good but I think it should be a decision taken by the maker in accordance with their filament and machines. Most of the makers use PLA and so I have tried to provide that in the print profile. Regarding the tolerance issue that you have pointed out. I think the readme might have caused some small misunderstandings. The warning provided in the read me refers to some parts which are expected to have zero tolerances such as pins between two joints. The logic for this recommendation is also given in the warning which is to ensure that there is a friction lock in the joints enabling the parts to be oriented in specific positions without any external parts. To explain more consider the boom of a truck. It has tilt mechanism which is achieved by a pin joint at the base of the first boom hand. If this pin is able to lock the arm in any position due to friction, it would be ideal than the pin lock provided. For such a friction locking to be achieved between parts, there needs to be almost zero tolerances between the parts. It's just a advisory statement. Moreover I have tried to make this clear in the print profile readme also that I have taken care of everything. You as a maker is expected only to print and assemble. I have also tried to refine the model with feedbacks from makers. In some case you may have to scale some small parts according to your printer tolerances and filament quality. I am sure you are aware of this general rule. I hope I was able to settle the issues you have pointe out. Please do let me know if you have any further feedbacks. I try to reply at the earliest. I wish that you would certainly try my model now.
