You may have seen my print-in-place garbage truck before. Well, I wanted to take it to the next level!

 

Introducing my first ever CyberBrick model: the CyberBrick Garbage Truck! This is by far the most complex model I've ever designed, and one of the most fun to play with!

 

The first version of this Garbage Truck was my very first CyberBrick model. From that design, I learned many lessons and received lots of feedback. This new version is the result of many more countless hours of designing, testing, printing, and most importantly, listening to feedback from all of you on my Discord and Patreon!

Heavy Lift - New Features:

The previous version was great, but there were things I wanted to change. Here are the differences/improvements:

• The power switch is now fully and easily accessible from the exterior of the truck.
• Entirely new gearing system; the lift arms can now lift more than half a pound! The gears were also redesigned to eliminate slippage.
• The cab axle holder now pushes forward to create tension in the gearing system, ensuring full power from the servo is transferred to the lift arms.
• The interior of the chassis has been completely redesigned. The battery is now accessible from inside the chassis, making it easy to charge the battery.
• The chassis cover snaps on and off the chassis body easily, but is also snug to prevent it from coming off with the truck bin magnets.
• If you printed the previous truck bin, that is entirely BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE with this version (however, I did make minor improvements on this version). There are also other parts that are backwards compatible that I will list below.
• New brake LEDs with reverse lights (optional)! Both the headlights and the backlights now have a new way of installing into the truck; no tape needed anymore!
• There are now LED diffusers! These are optional of course.

I also uploaded a Truck Bin without the “Whopper Printing” logo to my Patreon for members that might like to have an entirely logo-less truck.

 

Bill of Materials

The full BOM is listed below. The beginner hardware kit is enough to build this garbage truck! BUT, if you want to add the functioning brake lights (optional), you'll need to add on the extra LED hub and LED pack (there are two lights per pack, so just get one as indicated below). Hit Buy Now on the components below and that's all you need!

General Features:

• Fully functioning, RC drivable truck using CyberBrick
• Working lifting arms that raise and lower
• Includes a custom dumpster with custom fake “trash bags” that can actually be picked up and dumped into the truck
• Lots of fun!

I hope to one day design a themed controller that would pair perfectly with this model, but I haven't started on that yet.

Important Notes:

• The truck bin is too big for the A1 Mini, but I plan to release a split version so it fits smaller print beds.
• Feel free to message me if you run into any issues.

• The motor enclosures used in this model are the standard Single-axis Plastic Reduction Gear Kits by Bambu that are shared between CyberBrick models. Scroll down on that page to the “3D Model” section and download the corresponding motor enclosure (LA016). You will need two, one for each wheel.
