Fungi Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 This is a 64 Chevy Fleetside but the model is riding on a scratch built chassis and the drivetrain, axles, transfer case, etc, from an RC car. The chassis has full articulation as well. The rims and welder were made with a 3D printer. The battery that powers everything is hidden inside the welder. lol Thanks for watching!
ScaleDale Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Love the Miller! But how did he get that thing way up there? They weigh a ton, not to mention the gas bottles. Dale Edited December 9, 2013 by ScaleDale
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice. Looks like a support unit for the ever-popular zombie-wars combat vehicles. Please...more info on the 3D printed wheels and welder. It looks like your resolution is very good. What design software and printer, or service?
Fungi Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 @DM, thanks! @Scale Dale, Well the put heavy things in all sorts for places, don't they... This welder is designed for installation on a work truck. You want I should build a wooden lift? @o-man, thanks! @Ace, Naw, this is thge guy you want to go off roading with. @Pappy, thanks! I used to build models as a kid. Now in my 50's I have returned with a little more patience and a lot more resources. This project has been very fun so far!
Fungi Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) @Ace, sorry forgot to answer. I have a 3D Systems Projet 3500HD Max. It can make parts with 16 micron resolution. I use Solidworks 2013 software. @Mike, it's a Trekker which is what replaced the McRC. @slusher, thanks! Edited December 10, 2013 by Fungi

Fungi Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 Hi Dawg, I got the tanks from a fujimi garage accessory kit. I considered redoing them as the tanks appear to be capped. I decided not to change them and just move on to other things. I was told of the mining industry having caps in place while in use, but never found any images. Hi goon, thanks!
hotrod59f100 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Wow I love it . I is love to get a 3d printer but on my paycheck it's not gonna happen . Vary cool keep up the great work

It was loaded with a crane. It has an exhaust, so it's engine powered, which only makes sense. Great attention to detail in both the design and execution here. Dale
Fungi Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Lower99, thanks! Hey Dale, Yep I modeled a Miller Wildcat 200 welder / generator. Here is what I was shooting for. Danno, Chris, Thanks! HotRod, thanks! yeah they are very pricey.... Edited December 10, 2013 by Fungi
Havamodeler Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 WOW! that's an awesome build! i love it. makes me wish even more that i had a 3D printer lol
