1/10 Caterpillar D8T Build (3D Printed)

At first glance I thought those were resin printed parts, and thought that you'd gotten a resin printer. Then I zoomed in on them and saw the layer lines from a filament printer. That's some damned fine work. I can see that the cab is made of of a LOT of separate pieces. What's your nozzle size and layer thickness? I've printed pieces for models before, but nothing that finicky.

How many hours did it take you to model the cab parts? I may have asked this before, but what software do you use?

Again, NICE WORK!!

Thanks, i think i used a mix of 0.16 and 0.20 layers... nozzle is still stock.... 0.16 for the really tiny pieces and 0.20 for the rest...took me a while to get this done as I have been busy riding my MTB during the summer... but if I had to do it full time, maybe 10-12 hrs more or less... i dont have any other references except those i can find online and its a mix of different cabs.... its all guestimate i would say...I only use autocad...and cura for slicing...

You say your nozzle is still stock, is that a 0.4mm nozzle or something smaller?
