Print-in-Place Peterbilt 359 Truck

cults3d

This Peterbilt 359 inspired truck is made in such a way that allows it to be printed all in one piece. Once it's done, you can pop it off your buildplate and play with it. The wheels spin, the hood opens and the sleeper cab door on one side can open. The connector on the back will let you attach various trailers (coming in the future). The hinged hood is hiding a V8 diesel engine. Although a clean version is available, I recommend printing the one with "mouse ears" (circles that are added to areas that would likely break off the buildplate due to low surface area). The clean version is mainly for experimental purposes (upscaling/downscaling the model etc.). Test files are included so that you can figure out if your printer is capable of printing this without wasting too much material. This model is quite challenging, mainly on overhang printing abilities and bed adhesion of your printer. I recommend using some gluestick to increase bed adhesion. If you have issues printing any of my designs, DM me on Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/vit.budina/ ) and I will send you my Cura profile.
