Truck With Swappable Bed Attachments

thingiverse

This Tinkercad creation features a truck body/bed, which can be customized with swappable parts such as a cement mixer and a dump truck. The bed has lips on its sides to accommodate these interchangeable components. This was the designer's first attempt at incorporating encapsulated wheel-axels, but they experienced minor melting issues with the PLA material used. These were partially resolved using pliers and a razor knife, with further refinements possible for future iterations. The cement mixer spins, while the dump truck is intended to tilt; however, the designer was less patient with the latter. The model was printed on a MakerBot Replicator using default medium-quality PLA settings without support or rafts.
