Ford BB Truck First printing of the cab (N-scale) still lots of work to do on this one. This print was mainly to check how well the cab sits on the chassis.
John: When they are ready to ship I will make an announcement in the "Model Railroad Product News" forum with a link. Z-Scale Monster will probably be selling them also.
I've done some farm equipment some tractors, Grain trailers and auger loaders 3D printed even an Omnibus all Z scale
The beer truck looks great outstanding job! It looks like your having fun with the 3D printing it will get you hooked after a while! all your drawings coming to life in your hand. Keep up the great work! I like the frame work with the truck even the engine it's cool!!!!!
The Ford BB series trucks have been released, see the announcement in "Model Railroad Product News" forum.
You have clearly got the right skills. Would love to see someone produce all the defunct Jordan Products Highway Miniatures in Z Scale. Take the ball and run with it!
It's nice, but sitting too low to the ground. You can barely stand a beer can on those tires below the fenders. You should be able to balance a chianti bottle there.
The wheels are exactly where they should be, the problem is the thickness of the fenders. In 3D printing every surface must be a minimum thickness or they will fall apart during printing. And even if you had a printer which could do it, the fenders would be far to fragile to handle if you made them to scale.
Well, you're probably right. The Power Wagon was one of the very few things made after the mid 1920s with fenders that weren't skirted at all--not even a little. Can you bevel the edges of the fenders? That would hide the excess thickness in shadow.
