Since you've got the basic Conex already, modding one into a CHU should be a pretty simple additional load to print.
Glad the machine passed the cat-scans.
You build really fast!

Sweet mini-me Fiero! At least you don't have the Indy go-kart. Or do you?
There's those guys on Pennock's with three or more sizes of Fieros. Which is almost as bad as having multiple full-size ones. (I mean, they're fun, but keeping up on my one is enough for me!)
I looked at the CHU, but given the weight of the conex and its leverage, I'm not convinced I could make the CHU work in plastic. Seems like it would either snap the corner twistlocks off the conex, or just break the CHU. That's why I stuck with the flatrack and let gravity do the work.
Since then I've actually also built a reach stacker for the conexes (conexi?), but it's a combination of metal rods on roller bearings with printed bits, so as to carry the weight.
Also, the build was several months. Just looks easy with the summary writeup
I have some free time these days, so I'm finally getting around to doing build threads vs. actually building.
