Yellow Airport Fire Truck Engine 8X8 with Movements

There are three ways to print this.

1. As single piece:- Please download STL file but there wont be any movements.
2. Multiple Pieces :- Download 3mf file with Full_dismantled.3mf.BEST QUALITY OUTPUT. Please use the 3mf file for assembly also. CHECK EASE OF PRINTING TITLE BELOW
3. Combined:- You may use any 3D viewer software like 3D builder in windows to merge components according to your printer and filaments. The sky is the limit for this. You may find a sample file ending with combined.3mf.

EASE OF PRINTING

This model contains parts of 5 colours - GREY, YELLOW, BLACK, WHITE & RED. I have seperated these into different plates according to colour and in the optimum print position. Please download the folder “Print Plates According to Colour” to make use of them. These plates can be opened in any slicer and printed according to your print profiles.

I wish you try different color schems also. Since i am doing a series in yellow, i have chosen this color scheme but i think it would rather splendid in red and grey with black accessories.

Movements Included

1. Front Dual Wheel Steering - 30 degrees maximum, Ackermann
2. Back Wheel Rotation
3. Front Doors
4. Fire Hose manipulator arm full movments.
5. Side storage compartments

The main body is made hollow to ensure filament savings.

The screws to fix the front axles should not be fully tighter as the parts connecting to the wheel should have the ability to spin on the screw.

I am very thankful to Mr Benoît Lussier for his feedbacks which has helped me refine the model further. 

Supports should be provided as required.

Appreciate the makes uploads. Open for suggestions.
