Big Bruder Excavator full RC conversion

thingiverse

This is the second version of this conversion that I have done - the first was scratch build before I had a 3D printer. There will in due course be a full and detailed build series on my YouTube Channel. On the overview video I have listed most of the components that I used in the build. I deliberately tried to use budget (but good quality) parts for the build and experimented with may different options before finalising the design. This digger id now what I call "earth rated" - ie it can dig effectively in dry or wet loose soil, the previous version was limited to cat litter and wood chippings. As far as support goes for the prints I generally add support blocker in Cura to any horizontal holes - of what ever size. And the ram tubes and ram ends must definitely be printed without any support at all. If you have any questions, best to ask on the YouTube channel if poss - as I don't check here that often. Until I have made all of the build videos, I'm treating the project here as "work in progress" as I may have missed something or need to change it. Please respect the licencing on the files, but feel free to use. Good luck!
