1/14 Scale RC Semi Truck 3D Printed pt5

[@rchelistef506]

Very nice contruction

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks man.

[@mestapho2011]

love the color combo.. now 3d printing is available.. maybe i can afford one of these things. Thanks for the links to the cab.

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you! That was my thought too. I’ve always wanted one but the price was too high. 3D printing is making things much more accessible.

[@rickstanfield1966]

You are very talented sir I would love to see what you could do with a 389 stretched out flat top peterbilt seriously would be a show truck like either black or red paint maybe some stripes but not necessarily needed keep on making trucks your the best I’ve seen so far ❤

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you.

[@urbanbuffalo692_8]

That is coming along wonderful as I said before caint wait till it done I think it would be a great model of the tv show BJ and the Bear from back in the day or at least thats what it reminds me of great work man

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you. It’s getting close now. I’m working on an instruction manual and a few more tweaks, then I’ll be able to release the files.

[@lorenzoberhofer5783]

Very great job, I've bought the stl yesterday. Now I've a lot of work ahead of me. But right time for the next weeks with probably new lockdown!

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks so much. If you have any questions or just want to share your progress I’d love to hear from you on the discord channel.

[@bigblockbumpside2296]

How many hours of printing has it taken

[@BuildItBetter3D]

I haven’t kept track of printing hours. I think I can do a whole truck in 3 weeks with the printer going almost non stop.

[@RECKLESSMOTORstudio]

Awesome build bro👍🏼👍🏼

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks!

[@matteofranceschetti7511]

Can you share the stl file? Or Can you tell me where find? Thank you, and very nice and cool job

[@BuildItBetter3D]

The files will be available on MyMiniFactory soon. Thank you.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Very cool 👍 Will you share the 3D files?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks! Yes I plan to release the files once everything is complete. I’m working on instructions now.

[@3dprintedmodelcars735]

Awesome!

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you.

[@andriychoo7758]

I would add humidifier inside fuel tanks and connected it to the exhaust pipes.but still Looks awesome

[@BuildItBetter3D]

That would be cool.

[@breeze0413]

where can I find All the parts I own a 1999 kw 75 anniversary edition bought new and I bought a grand hauler not what I wanted but I have it can you help me out thanks

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Link to the files to print your own is in the description. Included are instructions and a list of hardware needed.

[@rej3929]

hi body, very nice truck ,start my project

[@zaga416]

It looks great, when I saw it for the first time it got me so I bought your stl. Thank you, my only question is, what system did you use for the sound and to control lights ?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you! I use this for sound and lights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maS0mIecrbeXbrssi=aDqlatul-f6oYVwb

[@xKmotx]

Wow, that looks so good! How many months on my Ender 3 would it take? lol...

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks! It’s hard to say how long it’ll actually take since I’ve been printing as parts get designed, but most of it prints pretty fast. I’ve taken a lot of time designing to need as little support material as possible, and that helps speed up printing. You can print and build in sections, so you’re not just waiting on parts to print.

[@xKmotx]

@@BuildItBetter3D Sounds good. As a point of reference, I printed the 3D Sets Jeep and it took a month. 7 days a week, night and day around the clock.

[@h84021]

Wow!! Looks great! So much detail and design work. Were you just gluing the pieces on with regular super glue. I never seem to get it to stick to anything except my fingers!!!

[@BuildItBetter3D]

I’m using super glue from Harbor Freight, I’ve had excellent results with it. All of the important stuff is attached with screws but the small details get glued on.

[@BuildItBetter3D]

This will probably be similar, maybe a bit longer since it’s slightly bigger.

[@socalsean3425]

will i be able to build the truck with a bed size of 25×21×21 cm (9.84"×8.3"×8.3") thanks

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Yes, you can build it with that bed size.

[@socalsean3425]

thanks will buy the

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Sweet! Thanks for the support. Join the discord server and I’ll be able to assist with any questions you have during your build.

[@jovanmorales5484]

That's very nice, where did you got the files for the 3D printer?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Link is in the description

[@henryfehr6202]

Whats the chance of scaling these files to 1:8 scale? I bought the file and are great I would just like to build a bigger scale. Just the cab ones as I build steel frame.

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thanks. I use this calculator for changing scales. www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html You should be able to scale it just fine if only doing the cab.

[@henryfehr6202]

@@BuildItBetter3D thanks for your reply. I know about the scale thing. The reason for asking was the cab looks to be pretty thick and if I scale it up 175 percent the walls will end up so thick and take a lot longer to print.

[@BuildItBetter3D]

It is thick, but gives a great rigidity to it. If scaling it up I would recommend 2-3 walls and only 5-10% infill. Then it shouldn’t take much more filament but will be nice and sturdy.

[@bigblockbumpside2296]

Hey man, is there a trailer available for this guy? Can you use the Tamiya ones?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

I am working on a trailer but it is not yet ready. There are some trailers on Thingiverse that are 1/14 scale, I’m not sure how good they work though. Tamiya trailers should work with it, they should be the same scale and I believe I’ve made the fifth wheel the same size, but I have not tried any myself.

[@bigblockbumpside2296]

@@BuildItBetter3D hey man, im printing out the frame and drivetrain. Where can i find the directions for print settings as well as how many of each i need to print? Thanks

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Awesome! There’s pdf instructions included with the files. At the beginning of each module there is a table with how many and print settings.

[@QueenCole89]

Tjhis is terrific! Do you take commissions?

[@BuildItBetter3D]

Thank you. I do, but most people don’t find my price affordable. Join the discord server and you can message me there for more info. discord.gg/pYJKFWqf
