Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Jason, out of curiosity how many pieces did you print for this machine?

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

CAD experience isn't the problem (Solidworks, AutoCAD, and Alibre, lots of experience). My problem is the time available in a day to do the work. I have a 3D printer with a large work volume so I would like to give this a shot. Just curious if you would consider releasing the STL's. I totally understand if you don't want to. Can't hurt to ask :)

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

I also have a 3d printer but not the time or skills with the whole design thing to produce a product as good as you have.
I am amazed how well it has turnned out and you should be commended for an awesome result.

but for a reasonable price I would be interested in buying the stl files.
or would you consider printing another dozer to sell.

cheers andy

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Awesome Jason!! Are you using the H800 or the 480? Afina filament or another brand?
Using software for the supports or adding them manually?
I'm also interested in the STL's for a reasonable price.

Not interested in selling files.

Truckmaker, there are roughly 250 pcs printed to make this model.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Thanks Jason, that's not bad as far as a kit would go, design and print, well thats a different story!

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Yes, if i had a larger printer some parts would not need to be cut up, so would mean less parts, but the same amount of time. There are few things i would change in the design if i made another one. It was fairly time consuming for this one build...

A few more pics and vid of the full assembled running test with sound. Imagine you dont hear the air purge :) And excuse the slight shakiness of the video, I had clamped my phone to a 60" straight edge, and it wombled a bit as it was leaning against the table. I also need a little practice smoothing out my control.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

It's not even mine and yet, I'm all excited! What a beauty! :D

Top notch work Jason :cool: everything fits inside so nice and organized...runs smooth, and it has a red stripe! :lol:;).

You sir, are a 3D master. :)

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

so any interest in selling in kits

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

JDH429,
Well done, an absolutely brilliant model and build log. Looking forward to seeing where the project goes from here.

Cheers

Trackerman. :bounce:

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Mario, thank you for the comments and suggestion on the red accent. It really added a lot to the look. It pays to listen to the pros :)

I have some tweaking to do to the design, and am waiting on some new equipment. Once I get caught up, I'll def put some time into producing a few kits to sell for sure.

Thank you, I have a few more accents to finish and am then looking forward to getting it dirty.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Awsome Jason ..Are you happy with the power of the new gear motors now?...Im looking forward to seeing this beast in the dirt ..Nice

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

That is one beautiful machine, awesome build thread. Now get it dirty!

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Lou, yes I'm pretty happy with the gear motors now. As you can see from the vid, the speed is perfect And I need to test a little bit more by adding some plate steal inside the chassis for weight but the motors will not stall while pushing an object heavier than the dozer itself. The tracks loose traction, but this was on concrete. Dirt will be diff but I think the tracks will still break loose if pushing something too heavy. Thanks for following.

Thank you. Will post some video in the dirt asap.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

An absolutely unbelievable build! It is so realistic. I don't have much experience with electronics so what sound system are you using? Ken

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Thank you, and sorry about that I never mentioned anything about that, or showed that the Servonaut SMT I'm using for sound is tucked up under the 2 Sabertooth 2x12 motor controllers. I printed a little organizer for the electronics to mount to, to keep things neat and the sound module can't be seen in the pics.

The sound isn't bad, actually sounds good in person due to the larger speaker and speakerbox I'm using. I had this SMT laying around, I'm curious to know what the new sounds on the new Servonaut modules sound like.. May have to place and order cause this SMT was actually supposed to be for my excavator.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Added a few small details to finish off the build.

Jason that looks real good. Ed

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Wow, very nice looking!

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Jingle bells, Jingle bells.......:D, very nice build and extraordinary talent!
