Description

I designed a working to scale (approximately 1:45) model of a Telehandler. Inspiration was the JLG 742 model.

https://www.jlg.com/en/equipment/telehandlers/jlg-telehandlers/742

Features of the model

To scale to preserve fidelity
Easy print with no additional hardware required
Telescoping and pivoting boom (print in place)
Rotating wheels with front wheels having independent turning clearance
Forks are on a ball joint and can be pivoted
Only 4 print plates needed

Print

Pretty straightforward PLA print and assembly

Chassis - Axles require small supports , cab roof does not need any

Wheels - Print with hub caps facing up, no supports

Boom - Print standing up, will print with no supports. I added a raft so it would not topple over

Fork - Lay flat with forks pointing up, no support

Pins - Can be added to any of the above prints

Hello. Cool model but how did you get the inside of the boom to free up? I printed it standing up but the insides wont move.

Can you share where it is getting stuck?

Replying to @HappyFrood :

Thanks for replying and sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I never got a notification for some reason. It was a setting in my slicer. I made a change here and there and after a couple of prints with the different settings, it slid in and out fairly easy. I used a small sander, like they use in manicure shops and smoothed it out so it works pretty good now. I printed it for my son who works for an auction that sell heavy equipment.
