For my Peterbilt 280 COE I need a van trailer. I had started with designing the trailer chassis based on an old Corbitt 24ft trailer chassis. The chassis was printed in 2 sections, a 35ft 2 axle chassis was also printed. Pictures of prints shows the first 3 section 24ft trailer prototype. 

For the side walls I used evergreen sheets. The round front was formed with hot water and a hot fan over a printed front section that was way to heavy for the printed frame. The roof section is also 3D printed. Print jobs where done on a Anycubic Mono X

Impressive!  I like the round front and how you managed to bend the plastic sheet!  And it goes very well with the truck, nice work!

Pretty cool!  Lots of wasted filliment for the build??  Just asking.

No thats ok for me. The only drawback was that I have to print the rear roof section again because it broke while cleaning.

Wow! Very impressive.
We are seeing more and more modelers designing and printing their own models (or parts of them).  I can only imagine how many design hours went into the project.  But it is fun time!

I think more than glueing the walls to the frame

BAsed on the 24ft trailer I working on a 35ft trailer. This time with plain sides. Front and roof are different to the 24ft trailer. Rear part fall on the floor and must be printed again.
