That little detail didn't get past me either Might be where your tire squat is coming from?? Rotary table can't be too light! Might need some tire filling to combat the squatting.

I figure that table is around 10 to 15 lbs.
But the full length 3/16 plate easn't light either.

I am honored by the comments but the turn table was an idea by a good friend here on the board.

Like everyone else I gather ideas talk with friends ask questions and then go build something....

It is an excellent idea, but when I was told about the turntables all I could picture was the one we have at work that takes a couple guys or a fork lift to get it on the mill lol. I've never seen one that small.

Ok so this version did not work out. Tried 2 different mounting with no improvement. Turns out my pivot is too far away from the door surface. So a new design and more printing to be done.
I broke rule 1 of design. Test your design. I was so anxious to make hinges I didn't properly test in my design models.

I'm no designer by any means, but what do you think about a "simple" Piano Hinge for the doors? I've seen a few 1:1's with those type of hinges on the doors. You might need to make cut outs for them, but I'm thinking they'd work, and should look ok as well.

I understand the wanting a hidden look, I'm sure, from what I've seen of your work, that you'll figure something masterful out. The rig looks awesome so far, I can only dream of having that one of talent.

Much is just figuring it as I go. Like I must have my ratio off for the cab height. As you see the dash looks right with the windshield but neededva sub floor to get the seat height close and then it's like someone could stand and walk through the cab. In general it's close but not exact. The interior was a Sunday afternoon thought and a bunch of pieces here and there.
