Description

My son came up with the suggestion to create a truck after I created a gantry crane with containers for him. Who am I to say no?

Update 5th of September 2024: minor fixes and improvements

Features

inspired by the classic Peterbilt 379
fully printable and to be assembled with concealed swallowtail connections
requires (almost) no support to print, except for the air filter housings located at the hood
trailer and containers can snap on and off mechanically
rugged design with rounded edges

Also check out my related design, the Gantry Crane which has been updated with compatible snap-on / snap-off containers https://makerworld.com/en/models/537920#profileId-455087
Gantry crane with snap-on / snap-off container

Troubleshooting:

Assembly: please follow the assembly instructions closely. Some pieces can be hard to remove when assembled incorrectly or in the wrong order
Tight fittings: some of the swallowtail fittings are tight on purpose. If you experience challenges during assembly, apply little bit of force and wiggle the piece while sliding it in the fitting
Bed adhesion: some of the plates have pieces pretty close to the bed’s edges. This can result in poor bed adhesion and curling edges on your print. Make sure to clean your bed before printing and if need be, reduce print speed to 50%. This can be done on the printer display

I am looking to print this but the truck cabin seems to be missing all the parts for the trailer are there, where do I find the cabin?

The designer has replied

@StudioRC

Hi @Myshka2024, thanks for your interest in the model. You can print the cabin from the separate 0.08mm layer high quality bodywork, 2 walls, 15% infill print profile. It contains all the bodywork for the high detail version.

where do I find said profile?

@StudioRC

Replying to @Myshka2024 :

This is the one I’m referring to, you’ll see it when you press “prepare to print” in the Bambu App

Came out looking great and was easy to assemble. I had one issue with bed adhesion that I take full responsibility for, if anyone happens to notice it.

You got it! Hope to add some images and words later on but all prints went well.

You can deal with the stickiness of the bed by using hair spray. It helps a lot :)

awesome model, everything fitts good without any need for glue. I printed it scaled down to 77% to match the scale of hot wheels cars. For the grill and the hub caps I used a small hammer to tap them in. Now just some paint and it will be perfect.

The designer has replied

@StudioRC

Wow, that looks great! I would love to see the painted version

@user_559324302

Hello, it looks great, ask how you made the pieces fit together, I couldn't do it, it cost a lot and pieces broke.

Replying to @user_559324302 :

I had no problem with the big pieces, a couple of the small pieces I did clean up a bit with a sharp knife to make them fit easier. It can help to clean out the slots a bit to round the edges a bit.

Very nice and elaborate model. My sons are very happy with it, I have to print the second one because they fight over it :D I had a problem with the Bambulab A1 while printing the "Shiny thing", I solved it with BRIM.

The designer has replied

@StudioRC

thanks for sharing, the endresult looks great! I’ve had similar issues when printing parts close to the bed’s edge but I was able to resolve them following instructions from Bambu’s excellent support pages: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/printed-model-warping . More specifically, the cooling settings under 2. proved to be very effective

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it next time I print :)

@user_559324302

Hi, here are some photos of how it turned out. Some parts broke when fitting together. I don't know if it was due to lack of filling. Now I will make another one with more filling, but this one turned out like this.

The designer has replied

@StudioRC

Thank you for sharing, looks good! Can you specify which parts broke off? That way I can look into design improvements

@user_559324302

Replying to @StudioRC :

Thank you, don't worry, the design is perfect, it was my bad configuration.

I colored my truck in studio for AMS. gave it a dechromed look. dark and stealthy! to me the trailer seemed too short for as long as the truck is. so tried extending the trailer and thought I'd extend the containers as well. couldn't get the containers to slice correctly when extended, so I opted for a simpler 3 container trailer. I think the overall scale is much better looking now. I love these old style semis and they have just enough detail to be really cool!

@StudioRC

Very nice result, thank you for sharing these pictures. It looks great, also with the additional colors. Awesome!
