Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Kult! Det blir nok ikke helt med det første, ganske mye som gjenstår. Men kanskje på denne siden av nyttår. :-)

The lid lock mechanism is just another thumb screw and another nut glued into the body:

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Thanks, Emil! I'm loving your videos BTW. :-)

Maybe I can come over and run the excavator in your quarry some day, when it has been completed?


Best regards,

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

I made a somewhat improved snap-in hinge pin assembly. I should have used some longer bolts, but I didn't find any.

The assembly consists of two M3 20mm bolts, one compression spring and an...

Re: First try at scratch build

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

I don't like doing non-reversible operations like gluing, painting and welding, because it's then a lot a work to make small adjustments to parts. And when doing prototyping like this, you make small...

I experimented a bit to figure out the smallest mesh size I could print without supports on my 3D printer. On the original, the meshes in the doors and in the platform look like this:

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

The smoke generator was the surprise that I promised earlier :-)

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

I want to allow for it to be charged inside the model, but most of the time, I'll take the battery out to charge it.

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

It's always a question where to put the required RC-components on a machine. I'm talking about things like the on/off switch, charge connector, etc. I want them accessible, but not visible.

Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Added the final angle sensor that reads the angle of the boom. This sensor is the same as the previous two, except that it's mounted a bit differently and it has no cover.
