GU 3D model

[Outrage]

Some pictures of what I've been doing in the program SolidWorks during slow periods at work.



And a 4by that the people on the trip never saw, but was there going by the photo


Started off designing some rock sliders (as seen in the DIY thread), turned into making a model of the 4by. Enjoy

Cheers guys, quite happy how it's turned out, still could use some refining in areas but it's at a good level anyway

Very nice Outrage you must have a lot of slow periods. any chance of getting a copy of your model so I can experiment printing it? I've been after a vehicle but have been picky cause I want to print a local type 4by and can only find yankee stuff.
If the print turns out well I can send you a print free, I'll do it for love..lol the biggest print I can do is 120mmx120x140h.
If need be I can print small prototypes for you too.

Thanks, happy to send the model, want the solidworks version or after a specific format?

Not sure how well it will go (only seen some 3d printing from uni, don't know about how well the CAD model has to be built) the body is a surface model I picked up off the internet, the whole underside of it is hollow, was a flat surface under there but I cut it all out to put chassis rails, etc in.

pm with your email if you want to give it a shot.

Yeah had quite a few slow periods, picked up again now though, the work life of being in a consultancy , slow, busy, moderate, slow, hectic, slow...hehe

Steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

Sweet Outrage, I not any sort of digital artist but I can modify it if need be depending on the amount of work it requires, usual rules for print are; minimise over hangs over 45 degres, all vertices need to be connected and no overlapping polygons.

With a smile like that I'd say you enjoy your work! feast of famine is what I got.
anyway PM

Steering wheel is on the wrong side!!

It's missing driver's seats too so you have to drive not only from the wrong side, but the back seats as well!!!

Well we know Big Wig won't be driving it then
Nice work by the way!

A little more has happened to the model, but found a picture renderer within solidworks to make them pretty. Again, enjoy

Eventual plan is to get tailshafts, non-spherical diffs, chassis cross members, etc to fill out the underneath.

And here's a photo background, came out rather well I'd say

Interesting

hey......
I join this forum and found it really interesting information. I love these posts because it contains very useful information. I must appreciate this community. Thanks!

 

[Outrage]

New rubber, different sliders and a new paint job for the GU, plus some stickers.

More updates to the model, working on a proper front end.

Swivel Hubs

Axle housing

Think something must be missing, steering don't work!!!

Radius Arms (these have changed a little since this image - workig on the angles)

Suspension

Shocks

Enjoy

So when can we print up the just the body on a 3D printer?????


1/10 scale too please.

I have already built a Patrol style front end for an RC vehicle I just need the Patrol body now.

Cheers

Thats priddy cool I must say

Haven't done anymore to the 4wd, but just showing the other side project I've been working on. It's a tad heavier than a patrol.

For anyone wondering, it's a crawler for an old historic coal mine dredger (a small one). Actual dredger is supported by 5 of these. What's modelled weighs about 30T, but is missing its internal gears, motors, gearbox, shafts, etc. The entire dredger weighs 304.22T.

Attached is a photo of the actual dredger.
