Heavy Equipment Driver & Cab

thingiverse

A (mostly) heavy equipment driver/cabin combination suitable for a wide range of vehicles including excavators and loaders, trucks, overhead cranes, and trains and whatever else your imagination can come up with. By default the operators control panel is minus it's steering wheel for two reasons. 1. it's a pig to print in place without massive amounts of support and 2. the drivers seat has optional stick controls built in which for your model might mean the steering wheel is redundant anyway. The model is based on the Volvo A60H dumper truck as shown in the pictures. The parts are already orientated in what I found to be the easiest way to print (z-axis = up) though some supports will still be needed especially for the drivers. If you choose to add the wing mirrors you'd probably best drill a couple of small holes in either side of the cab after it's fit together as glue alone wouldn't hold them for long. By default the seated driver comes out 80mm high and all the other parts would be sized accordingly. Don't forget that if you do need to scale it up or down scale all the parts the same amount.
