Finkle Lava Dredger

myminifactory

This is the "Finkle Lava Dredger" from Molten Core (Vanilla WoW). The model you see here was created by myself using Solidworks, not pulled directly from in-game files. While it's not an exact replica of the original, I'm pleased with how it turned out and it prints well. I decided to build this model as a way to practice my skills with Solidworks, particularly since it features moving parts that would challenge me to test my abilities. The individual components are designed to connect seamlessly with one another. After completing the print job, I added a paint job, which may be a bit rough around the edges but still meets my expectations. Another exciting feature of this model is its ability to spin. However, I did encounter a minor issue while assembling it: a small ring had to be carefully cut and fitted through a narrow gap in order for it to fit properly over the rotating component. I've also included an updated version that's been scaled down by 50%. If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and welcome any feedback - positive or constructive!
