1957 panel truck stl file for 3d printing

When built as a flatbed trailer as Tamiya intended there is of course a substantial angle frame running the length of the bed to provide stiffness.

One of the problems with this conversion noted by bigdogrod was that there is not a lot of strength in the bed. All the holes lined right up, EFICKER did a good job modeling the parts. 3D printing isn't fast but it is slow.Īfter a little bit of cleanup I next mounted the ends to the flatbed portion of the Tamiya kit. Took a bit over 36 hours to print both pieces. Here are the rear and front sections straight off the printer with all the support material still attached. To the rear end I built in the crossbeams and modified the front bulkhead of the front to accommodate the truck/trailer electrical connection setup I use. After checking dimensions I determined that I could combine all the respective parts into complete front and rear sections with no joints that would fit on my printer bed. Plus 2 crossbeams from a truck model were also needed. There were 3 individual parts needed for the rear end and 5 individual parts for the front. stls I decided that I really wasn't keen on all the joints. I decided to use the original version 1 files from EFICKER that are available on thingiverse. Following is a brief explanation of the process I used showing the main differences between my version and the earlier ones. I thought that there was a lot of potential there and seemed like a way to really make use of a 3D printer in the hobby. I was very intrigued by the 3D printed lowboy conversions postings by bigdogrod.
