3D Printed D10T Build
 

Inspired by RCP's cool Bruder conversions.

Going for this in 1:14.

Wow Jason , your givin that printer a werkout :eek:

Re: D10T Build
 

This is going to be nice Jason! Keep the pictures coming!

Re: D10T Build
 

Love the detail. Are you modeling all this or scanning?

Either way nice work!

Re: D10T Build
 

What size link pins are you using. I never could find proprietary pins. Had to have them made.

Re: D10T Build
 

the fact that your printing every thing is too cool!!!

Re: D10T Build
 

Hi what kind of printer are you using ?

Re: D10T Build
 

Steve, Yes, Ive got a few hours into this one, and bit more to go.

Thx, Izzy. I bought 3/16" dia by 1.5" usable length off ebay. Was the best price for 100 at a buck each. Designing everything in cad. I wish i had a scanner that could scan something this small accurately...But then it may be just as much work and time to redesign the components for my needs and fix the model after scanned? Who knows, not familiar with scanners yet, I just CAD whatever i need.

Thanks man, I did originally print the pins for the track and they worked fine but figured one of the most wearable parts should be metal. I may reproduce more parts out of metal as i need them and they wear, but this a great way to prototype a model. Wish I had Steve's machining abilities.

Re: D10T Build
 

Search, I wrote a thread all about my stuff somewhere here.


Someone asked me about the strength of the model when its done so i grabbed a scrap piece from this build (lower chassis part) and took these pics to share.

Im 200lbs, and am balancing myself with my hand on the counter while my wife took this shot.

These parts made of ABS can be very sturdy, as you can see ( this part is not even constructed with the most dense filling that can be utilized). Of course not as resistant to wear as metal but like i mentioned i will use metal in certain areas, and would prefer to build the whole thing out of steel, but dont have the energy for that and wanted to do a full 3D printed build of some sort and this happened to be it. Atleast this way I can cut the build time in half and do something not yet done.. Anyone seen a 3D printed Dozer yet?

Re: D10T Build
 

You can check this scanner out, http://structure.io/ I have to get a new phone before I can try it out.
Cheers, Neil.

Re: D10T Build
 

Neil, Thanks for the link. I saw that a while ago. It was made just to be used on the Ipad I think. Id be interested in knowing how small of details it could grab.. I still think affordable laser scanners are a bit off, but becoming more consumer based due to 3D printing. Ill wait for one of those, but even still having to hollow out the model to be used mechanically would be more headache than its worth..Unless your modeling people and stationary things.:) Just my thoughts..

Re: D10T Build
 

Very impressive, I cant wait to start CAD at school.

Re: D10T Build
 

Incredible!

If you're in need of a product tester? :)

Re: D10T Build
 

If I did need one, can't think of anyone better to call. ;)

Re: D10T Build
 

Jason,

it looks great. :jaw::jaw: I can hardly wait for what's next. For those parts of my 3D printer would take longer.

Re: D10T Build
 

Thank you Sir,


Got some of the body assembled. The platform which the cab sits on is a snap on deal with detents, and the center hood will be removable to access battery.

Have a few dimensions to go back and adjust and reprint on the motor housings, then should be ready to finish cutting the track roller shafts (24- 4mm) and assemble the undercarriage.

Re: D10T Build
 

Nice work. I would put the head of the track pins facing out, looks better to me anyways. Also what is the cost of the material you are using for the printer, and any idea of a finished cost?

Re: D10T Build
 

That is looking great! :cool:

Re: D10T Build
 

ABS i use is about 30$ lbs. Maybe about 500.00 which is mostly electronics, not including the ripper parts, which is not designed yet.

Thank you


Its starting to look like something. Theres a delay in production due to some printer repairs going on. Hope to have the left side undercarriage finished this weekend.

Re: D10T Build
 

What's its weight at now? Will it be all electric with linear actuators?

Using this Izzybilt dozer with twin Firgelli L12-30-100-12-S on the lift is working sweet! The blade lift is quick & powerful.

Re: D10T Build
 

Very nice finish. Is it that nice straight from the printer?

Re: D10T Build
 

Joe, each side of the undercarriage is almost 2 lbs, So im estimating the total built weight should be near 12-15 lbs. A tad over what i figured scale weight to be, 9.1 lbs..If i figured correctly.
This will be an all electric build. Ive got a set of 100mm L16 Firgellis to use on the blade, and a handful of L12s for experimenting with.

No, theres a a bit of post print sanding and treatment to get it looking somewhat smooth like it is. Thanks

Re: D10T Build
 

Quick update.

Almost have all the parts finished. Slowely getting there. Just waiting on some hardware and will start assembling. Blade is filled with lead to give it some weight and blade tilt will be fixed. Ripper will be static until i get around to replacing some printed parts with metal and aquire the electronics to make it functional. For now it will just look cool.. hopefully.

Re: D10T Build
 

Jepp, the whole project looks cool!

Re: D10T Build
 

Really nice Jason, Is all I keep thinking while following your progress is "I can't wait until the kit comes out" But........;)

Re: D10T Build
 

Haha, Thanks. I have given it some thought. I may look more into that once the equipment im using is updated, which is in the works. Id be able to produce more parts at a quicker rate. Fingers are crossed. Thanks for following.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Oh wow that is killer! I can't imagine putting in all of those C-clips is very fun, but I bet after doing a few you got a system down.:D

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Great job with the 3d printing parts. This should be a cool dozer when finished.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

You are doing a great job keep up the good work. Ed

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Thanks for the compliments. Got a little further today with testing and part fitment. Im digging the way its looking, but I realized after the first test of the track motors that they are lame (77 oz torque/51 RPM @ 12v= not good) and had to order another set with some better power. That means back to the drawing board to redesign the motor mounts and corresponding parts. Heres a few more pics of how its looking.

that looks sick!!! post a pic with a coke can or something for size comparison

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Thanks! Im sorry i couldnt do much better than this pic. Everything that could be painted was torn apart last night. If this helps, heres the blade next to a tall can.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Wow! I like it!

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Wow, beatifull Great Job any idea a price Range after done..

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Rough figure on cost with shipping
2 sabertooth 2x12-150.00, 2 Figelli L16 100mm actuators 150.00, 2 motors - 85.00, 100 track pins and e clips - 120.00, misc hardware - 35.00, ABS filament- 80.00, paint - 40.00... My time - priceless. :)
Total if I don't need anything else and not including radio gear & battery- 660.00.


Also wanted to add I think my estimated scale weight was way off, it should be like 100 lbs.. I think I can add enough weight inside to get it near 25 lbs easy, which should do the trick. It's heavier than you'd think already.

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Very nice, and I like your Radio hang-up idea in the background.

David

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Sounds about the same cost as my Bruder dozer conversions(same electronics basically) only the ABS cost is swapped with Aluminum and the track pins are K1 chain. Building this stuff isn't as cheap as some people imagine and the time involved to design and build the parts adds up. You are doing a fantastic job on it though and I can't wait to see it pushing dirt!:D

Re: 3D Printed D10T Build
 

Thank you, I got that idea from RCP. :)

Your right, This is about as cheap as you can build a dozer from scratch? ...And mine has limited function, just blade up n down, and track movement. Thanks Reg. :cool:
