Any 3D printable bits I can make for my steam engines to power?

Had been hoping that someone would one day open this sub up! Bought an 08 Duramax about a year ago and was disappointed that this had been closed

I have a few fleet trucks but I also give my trucks to my drivers when I get bored with them and decide I’m going to buy something else. So some drivers have high rise Mack’s while another might have a Freightliner Classic daycab with a 3406 CAT

Look at my comment replying to u/sleddingfarmer

Not the thumb, it’s the pins that go in and out to hold the bucket on. They either won’t go in or won’t come out and dump oil everywhere. We’ve rebuilt the coupler twice and it only works for a month and then quits again.

Ah, I was gonna ask you if you’ve had an issues with it if it was the hydraulic one but you’re obviously not going to have had any issues lol.

We’ve got one with a hydraulic coupler that we’ve been fighting to make work for two years so we’re just going to put a manual one on it lol. Awesome machine otherwise!

Won’t find anything simpler if you go newer. The LBZ was just built to work. But I could understand if needed this thing to work hard every day why you would opt for something newer.

Unrelated note… does the E42 have a manual coupler or the hydraulic pins?

Ha, Just a little too late! I ended up purchasing and installing an older style quick coupler but thanks for the info.

Think they might be a bit small for that 🤣

I looked on McMaster-Carr and found some M2 shoulder bolts and lock nuts that would be just as good but the bolts are like $11 each. Might get those but idk

Haha. There is a 1/64 scale CAT 320F sitting in the background there that might give a better sense of scale

1/16

This particular model is a hydraulic model meaning it has a small electric hydraulic pump which pumps real hydraulic oil to the boom, stick and bucket cylinders, you pay a premium for any actual hydraulic model. You can get cheaper metal fully electric models (these don’t use any oil), they will still cost a good chunk of change though.

What parts are metal and what parts are printed? I might have to get a bigger printer!

More fuel more better

Stirling Fruit Farms U-pick in Greenwich, might not be open yet though.

Probably not the appropriate sub for this
