Summary

I created this little kit card that assembles into a little forklift - complete with a mini palette!

The forks can slide up and down as well as tilt. Wheels should move freely.

 

Printing

I printed this on a Prusa mk3 with the Palette Pro 3.

No supports needed (they are built into the model)

Finished model is pretty small - about 50mm in height.

Keep in mind scaling will increase your tolerances as well, making it a looser fit.

For those of you without multi-extrusion printers, I included one file with all the parts (without the frame) so you would need to break them apart yourself for each color you want. However, the tires and rims must be combined as one since there is 0 tolerance between them.

Please note fitment may be different for different printers. Everything should snap in place, aside from the cabin which may need to be glued since the pillars are thin. 

Some tests show the steering wheel and seat may be loose depending on your first layer Z height because of elephants feet. Adjusting that may help with proper fitment.

Assembling

These are the same instructions as the attached pdf, just less official.
