Heavy Equipment Driver & Cab

thingiverse

A versatile heavy equipment driver/cabin combination suitable for a wide variety of vehicles including excavators, loaders, trucks, overhead cranes, trains and numerous other imaginative configurations. By default, the operators control panel lacks a steering wheel due to two primary reasons: 1) it's extremely challenging to print in place without substantial amounts of support; 2) the drivers seat features optional stick controls which might render the steering wheel redundant for your model. This design is based on the Volvo A60H dumper truck as illustrated in accompanying pictures. The parts are already oriented in a manner that facilitates effortless printing (z-axis = up), although some supports will still be necessary, especially for the drivers seat. If you opt to add wing mirrors, it's advisable to drill small holes into either side of the cab after assembly, as glue alone would not provide sufficient hold. By default, the seated driver measures 80mm in height, and all other parts are proportionately sized accordingly. It's essential to remember that if scaling is required, all parts should be scaled equally to maintain design integrity.
