Snowplow / Spring-powered Bulldozer - 100% 3D
Print Profile(5)
Description
Hello everyone, here is my latest creation, a small snowplow or spring-powered bulldozer 100% 3D Printed (except lubricant). It is equipped with a powerful spring mechanism that drives the tracks to make it move forward, a front blade to push objects, and a small dump bed for transport. The printing is done entirely in PLA. You can also print the tools needed for assembly.
As with my other models, I offer different options such as shorter transmissions and a front face with a blade or just a grill. You also have the option to replace the mechanism's drive wheel with a system using a removable key.
With PLA tracks, the short transmission slips on tiles and parquet but works perfectly on carpet or dirt. The shorter transmission accelerates faster but covers less distance.
Everything is configured in the print files, the tracks are Print in Place and threaded parts are printed with thinner layer heights (0.12 & 0.16mm). I reiterate, multi-color printing takes longer and consumes more filament but the result is prettier.
I have made a complete and detailed assembly video, it is mandatory to follow it for the assembly to go smoothly:
Lubrication is highly recommended for optimal operation.
Feel free to create new tools to attach to the front of the vehicle and publish them here. The mounting distance is 25mm for M6 screws.
Happy printing
