3D Print and Build yourself a high performance, hobbygrade Articulating Dump Truck in 1/14th scale.
The models dimensions are : 84cm long, 24,5cm wide and 28cm tall.
The model is based on a 30 ton dump truck in reallife (heavily inspired by Komatsu HM400).
Features of this model:
-Fully electric model, does not need any oil or hydraulics.
-137mm tires, huge tires to run over any terrain.
-6x6 driveline, with one motor per wheel, thats 6 drivemotors total, this huge model will not stop!
-Super strong tipping system, this tipping system can handle up to 30 kg in the tippingbox, and probably more!
-70 degree tipping angle, this will surely get rid of all the material inside that tippingbox!
-Fully articulating chassis, the suspension on this truck has all the articulation needed to go offroad hauling! Every axle is individually articulated and provides all the flex you need!
-Ballbearings, every moving joint on this model has a ballbearing, meaning it will move more freely with less friction while making the parts stronger in the same process!
-Latched hood, the hood is openable, giving you easy and quick access to the battery and electronics.
-104 page build manual with all the info needed to build this model, even for beginners!
-Youtube Build series, a series of buildvideos to show how to build this model from scratch! This will certainly answer all your questions.
-Beadlock wheels, this will prevent the tires from getting ripped off the rims under heavy loads!
-Strong steering motor, with a 40 degree steering angle!
You will need approximately 6kg of filament.
fits minimum of 25x25x25 Bed size! (I printed mine on Bambu P1P)
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Some parts in this build MUST be printed with TPU. (important suspension bushings that must be flexible).
All STL's are pre-oriented which means less work for you! Import STL and print!
Runs on a 3S LiPo battery, 2200-5000mah.
I have tried my best at making all the parts as user friendly as I possibly can.
For those who purchase this, Thank you! And I wish you happy building!!
UPDATES:
4th April 2025 - Fixed a bug with the "Cab Main.stl" file, two of the screw mounts was making a bad first layer, making adhesion bad. Download V1.02 to get the update!
31st March 2025 - Fixed a minor mistake in two files for the tipperbox "TB Sides DRV.stl" and "TB Sides PAS.stl", the parts overlapped eachother. This has now been fixed.
