I'll give them a go tomorrow - might be enough on there to eyeball at least the box trailers.

Of course this will hold up the work on all the other projects :P

Is that modelled in 360, or did you download it?

I have some flexible PLA here, might be a good time to give that a whirl and see how well it does for leaf springs :think:

This is the M8 ammo trailer. The trailer was often towed by a Sherman tank to store additional ammunition

This is the only diagram of an M8 I can find, I'd need a few more dimensions than this tho to be able to do much more than just fudge it...
