Ari, go to page 7 of this document. It has a very good picture of the car body. You'll see extra bolt holes to move the track in and out.

Ari, you are blazing into another build! I'm sure this will be another jaw dropping piece of art. Keep up the speedy pace and great work.

After seeing the work on your grader, I am sure this will be an amazing build. I am in awe at what some people can accomplish in a scale model.

You have already come a long way with this build, guess you have a lot of drawings ready now in computer to be machined. There have been discussion about having a seperate heading for questions about those CNC machines, I think that would be very useful when it becomes more popular with CAD/CNC production. I would like to have one but one thing that has scared me so far is how programming is done. Doing a drawing in a CAD programme is a start, but how do you translate it into actions in the CNC machine? Is it easy? I think it would be very interesting to see the different steps from first drawing to part ready. This , maybee, takes away the affraidness.
Thanks for sharing another fantastic build, Ari! Hat off from me.

I like where this thread and project is going. Not only for the beautiful parts you machine, but because of the technical talk that is also included. The hows and whys, of the way these real 1:1 machines work. All of this information together makes for a very enjoyable thread!

I machined the stick side panels.



I also made a video of making it.
I speed it up it a little so, somebody might even watch it to the end
For some reason parts of the video has no sound

Good video, good build!

How much do you think your builds cost to you when have everything done? I mean the grader and now this one.

Keep posting updates and CNC videos

Hello Ari !

Nice, another well started / build model from you !


Short info to the Liebherr 974 from the dutch: It should be Stefanf s Liebherr. I think It is the only one in Europe with selfbuild hydromotors and functional hydraulik sensloading.
In one of our german forums is a build thread of it.

The futureprojekt of Premacon (german manufactor also know before as liebherrmodelle.de) a hydraulikhammer (deliverable maybe end of 2012) you have shown it at your second video is also a develpment from stefan !

He is a great builder (10*) !

Ari... another project. Fantastic start as well.

I'm really interested on the CNC video, more of these would be nice.

Also, not that I'll ever be able to do it, but how long does it take to draw a part like this in the software program that you use?

Do you have the complete machine drawn in CAD, or do you just look at the drawings and design that part?

Keep the updates coming, please!

Elliot

You don't ask questions like this. His wife or girlfriend could wander onto the site and then start to wonder if what he told her it cost was true or not. I once read a sig that said "My biggest fear is that my wife will sell my toys for what I told her I paid for them."

LOL!! Yes, I think we all have a little of that fear in us. Plus, I don't know if you can put a price on the many trials an errors that we put into our toys.

You are right about that guys, I too have to lower the cost of some parts if my wife happens to ask it.
You might thing that when you build something from scratch it's much cheaper, but if you count even some amount per hour, you'll end up high numbers.
So it's very difficult to give any estimate of what these things cost. I'm thinking that this is a hobby that I like and if somebody is ready to pay you some money of something you build that's a bonus

Ari, with comments like that, you'll have a list as long as your arm... and I'm at the front!
