Gary Chastain Posted October 7 Author Posted October 7 4 minutes ago, ShakyCraftsman said: Those are definitely sweet Gary.😁😉 Ron G They are pretty good and it’s my last set. With all the shipping issues, including Canada and the tariff issues, I can’t get any at the moment. I do have a couple trailer disk brake kits but know nothing about them. Didn’t have those things when I drove. 3
Gary Chastain Posted October 10 Author Posted October 10 Aligning these 3D printed fenders is proving to be a challenge due to slight warp. The axles are attached, wheels attached and aligned, rear light panel glued in place. The fenders will attach to the trailer frame (clamp locations) after epoxy sets, then I will try to align the rear of fenders to light bar with epoxy. But they are fighting me. 3
Gary Chastain Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 Some progress, although slow. Last glue up on fenders and jacks. Tomorrow I can start setting the load on and making straps. 5
Gary Chastain Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM Author Posted Sunday at 07:09 PM Good progress today, ready to make load straps and mount the load. 5

Actually had to go find a calendar, 19 calendar days (Sept 19th to Oct 12th) to build and paint this trailer, still got the load to finish and a couple decals. 2
BK9300 Posted Sunday at 08:10 PM Posted Sunday at 08:10 PM Man, that looks good, Gary! (I think you've inspired me to include a trailer in a future build)

Rockford Posted Monday at 05:50 PM Posted Monday at 05:50 PM 19 days to build that! Amazing stuff. Looks fantastic. 1
Gary Chastain Posted Tuesday at 04:56 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 04:56 PM Trailer finished, bench cleaned and back to the truck. I ran the straps as I did so that I could expose the injection molding machine, by lifting crate from base. 3
