Now that is pretty neat

Nice one Alwyn, that first test run is always a 'will it, won't it' moment. You just need to repaint the skirting boards and doors and you are good to go!

Thanks for the good words guys, Rob don't tell the missus about the skirting and door otherwise it's redecorate time!

More progress on the M9 trailer dolly






Still waiting for the dratted tpu filament to show up!

Progress on the trailer
First tyre on the front dolly

Trailer body started




As you can see I am building this very heavy duty so there should be no problem carrying a tank, the big question is whether the Diamond t will have the grunt to pull it!

Alwyn

nice progress,going to be a work of art when shes done

Well I was going to the LAD meeting but had to call a snow day (gale force wind, blizzards, drifting snow) so instead I settled down to design and print the trailer rear suspension



just got lots of hubs and tyres to print now

It's starting to look like it should



but plenty of work still to do

Alwyn

Printed the first 8 of 24 tyres, it's a long haul




The trailer is taking shape slowly




but starting to come together. I've experienced a slight problem with the TPU material in that it's not so easy to remover supporting material, but perseverance and a sharp knife work wonders.
Alwyn

Looking great!

Well that's a job I'm glad to see the back of. If anyone wants to know what the result of approx 110 hours of 3d printing looks like, then here it is


and with my M7 Priest for scale


Tomorrow I plan on getting the Diamond T hooked up to see if it will pull it!

Alwyn

Looks awesome Alwyn, 110 hours, I feel for you mate
