The trailer bed is smaller to fit the skid steer https://www.printables.com/model/721244-3d-printed-rc-skidsteer-v30. The hitch mechanism has been redone to be much more compact and require less travel on dump truck hitch. It will work with Professor Boots' dump truck, but it was designed to match my dump truck https://www.printables.com/model/1189649-3d-printed-rc-articulated-dump-truck.
I like to create 3D models that follow these criteria:
- Do not require supports – I HATE supports.
- Print quickly – optimized for 0.4mm nozzle diameter with 2 exterior wall thickness
- Are easy to access for maintenance – I like to upgrade parts, but I hate to disassemble the entire model just to change out one part.
- Are chamfered on the bottom layer – this helps those who don't have a perfectly aligned bed and may still have “elephant foot” artifacts.
- Do not waste plastic – many designers make parts that are WAY thicker than are required for structural strength. This just makes the parts bulky and take longer to print.
NOTES
- NO SUPPORTS required. All parts print without supports.
- Tires printed with 95A Flexible TPU filament
- I recommend slowing down print speed and adding extra retraction.
- Uses 106-2RS bearings 6mm x 10mm (qty 4)
- These are pressed into fenders to allow free spinning of axles.
- Can be purchased from: Amazon AliExpress
- I made my trailer bed out of Hatchbox Wood filament (real wood particles suspended in PLA) Amazon, but it can be made from PLA if desired.
- All parts are assembled using M2.6 x 6mm self-tapping pan head screws Amazon AliExpress.
UPDATES:
- I forgot to include the model for the axle. It has been added.
- I originally listed the wrong bearings. The correct ones are MR106-2RS 6mm x 10mm.
The author remixed this model.
