MAKING A GIANT 3D PRINTED EXCAVATOR PT.1

I'm building a giant excavator using the 3D printed Miranda Blocks that I designed to build the Go Kart to race Matt Denton and his lego inspired Go Kart. When I started building the Go Kart I realised that there were a lot of improvements that could be done to the blocks but Iterating the design on that monstrous scale was going to take a lot of time and be quite wasteful so I created this scaled down version of the blocks which took a loooot of filament so go and send some love to PolyMaker for letting me go wild with their filament!

As the goal of the blocks is to be able to use and reuse them to prototype different projects I needed a project with a little bit more punch than a car so I decided to try and build an excavator.
This excavator design is already too big for these blocks but that's intentional as I want to test the limits of the design so I can be sure that I thought of every detail before starting to print these at full scale.
