CAT 966K XE

[Trucker47]

Hey Doggy, thanks! Haha that would be nice, the amount of hours I spend on CAD doing simple things, it would be nice to skip it! Currently I am planning to build the chassis from 1/8th sheet steel and weld it all together. Then for the complex surfaces I may have them 3d printed or build them out of sheet steel. Plastic is nice for the ease of use but I want the loader to be heavy so it is more realistic.

Hahaha yea I am finally back which is nice. You caught me, messed the title. I am planning on building a 966K XE loader. How can I edit the title?

Little update here, work has been very busy the last couple weeks so not much progress. I have got some preliminary CAD models done of the outside shape and begun the design of the electrical system. Here a screen capture of the CAD:
