Thanks.
I've already watched your snow work videos, great work. I love the working windshield wiper

Hi guys, it's been a while since last update.
I've been drawing the cab and the engine enclosure, and those parts I was thinking to 3D print. You who have used 3D printer for parts like those, how would you print them ? Do you print it wall by wall flat the build plate, or how would you do it ?

I got some machining done also. This is the rear sub frame for the ripper

I was trying to upload these pictures from Photobucket, but no matter what I did they showed up on the original size I give up, switching to Postimages.

Welded together and in place

[Hemi1966]

I got the cab base plate and the under plate done

[Hemi1966]

This is the engine compartment base plate.

[Hemi1966]

I made the engine compartment front wall.

How I'd print the cab would depend on the size of it. IF it was small enough I could get in on my printer in one shot, I'd try it that way first.

Thanks man !
That would be the easiest way, I'm just a bit bit worried about how the window openings will turn out.

[Hemi1966]

I made the first side wall for the engine enclosure. It's quite awkward shape as it get wider at half way and the upper front corners are bevelled, due better rear visibility.

[Hemi1966]

Both sides done

Here is a video of the welding process. It's not this project, but you get the idea.
