Re: Green Mountain Girl - Grand Hauler Build
The next build session began with assembling and adding the rear leaf springs. After that, I moved on to assembling and greasing the differentials. I used thick marine grease to increase the resistance without completely locking the diffs.
For a bit of fun, I decided to add a mechanic to my "garage." A year or so ago, I purchased a 3d printer. I've mostly been using it for little things, so this was my first attempt at a large print. One of my other hobbies is miniature wargaming. There's an online company, called HeroForge, that allows you to design a custom miniature, then purchase either the figure or the STL file for printing at home. Usually these miniatures are about an inch tall, but the resolution is fine enough that I was able to enlarge the figure. It took a couple of tries, but I was able to print her to scale nicely with the standard Tamiya driver. My friends have nicknamed her "Sparks" because I later built a little welding cart to go with her. |
