This would be the handles of the side doors of the body, due to their size, printed in 3D resin (I made several models)
the caps i showed earlier, ready to install
As with the bodywork, I proceed with "the hood" (I don't know what these pieces are called), first it is to take out the development of the pieces to be able to cut them with laser, then to laser cut in 0.5mm stainless steel and fold This time because of their size, I have no choice but to do the folding by hand, it doesn't look so good, but .. it's passable
once folded and presented
this is its corresponding railing
and here already finished and painted
Apart from the grids, there are also mesh plates on the excavator, one on each side, I suppose they will also be ventilation, let's go with them:
For this I made a small tool with the 3D printer, which is attached to the jaw of the milling machine and makes the mesh folds
I leave a small video that explains it perfectly

one thing left to do is finish painting the counterweight
We continue with the side walkways and the cabin platform, these structures are made of 1mm stainless steel sheet, tongue and groove to facilitate assembly and then welded
We start from laser cut parts
and we are assembling them, this in particular is the platform of the cabin
the side panel of the cab platform, milled for later folding
and this is how it looks
