Oh. My. Gog. That is some serious work.

That truck vaguely reminds me of something ... hmm, what could it be? =))

But nowhere near the level of detail you're doing. With the interior, I don't know how you have room to squeeze in a power train, even @ 1:10.

I feel your pain on flexible filament, and IMO you're crazy (in a good way!) to 3D print so much. Especially tires, when they're available off-the-shelf.

Wrt fasteners, I've been using the brass threaded inserts. You print a hole just slightly smaller than the OD of the insert, as determined empirically for your printer and material and brand and color and phase of the moon(*), and then either draw the insert in mechanically, or heat it and insert it with a soldering iron.

(*) Buddy of mine describes 3D printing as "an iterative process." Possibly the best way I've ever heard to say "Trial and error. So much error." =))

But again, OP, hats off to you. I spent a bazillion hours on mine so I can't imagine what yours will entail, but it's a beautiful thing.

This is whats going to be on that trailer... But most probably ill be starting a new thread on another section... anyway, I was drooling at the M1000 trailer and really keen on starting the build on it, but while I was gathering info, i just cant handle the number of wheels that its going to need, I thought, that would be too much work just to have a trailer, adding to that is the complexity of the axles that are supposed to turn as well, I would need a 12 channel transmitter for all those wheels to work like the real ones...so i decided to build a conventional flat bed with the goal of loading it with either a Cat 950 loader or a D8 Dozer... and I am now starting the CAD work on it... I made trial prints of the track chains and it works, I also decided to use ABS for those heavy wear parts... im leaning on parallel gearmotor drives for the tracks but im still clueless as to how i should program the transmitter... but anyway, ill figure it out...im excited for this new build, wish me luck guys...cheers.
