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! (aff link): bit.ly/3i4PEkd
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.
