Description
This is a small printable container truck / flatbed lorry designed for little container and logistics scenes.
The model consists of a compact truck body with a flat loading area, plus separate wheels and axle parts. It works nicely as a tiny toy vehicle, a desk decoration, a model railway accessory, or as part of a miniature harbour, warehouse or container yard setup.
The flatbed can be used with small 3D printed containers or other miniature cargo. I printed it in multiple colours to give the cab, chassis, wheels and details a more playful look.
The containers can be found here: Container Ship with Containers
The wheels and axles are separate parts, so the model has a more detailed look than a single-piece print. Depending on your printer and filament, the fit may need a tiny bit of cleanup.
Since the tolerances are very tight, please make sure the wheel arches and axle mounts are free of any excess material.
Insert the wheel with axle. Add a wheel on the other side and press tight.
I case you wander if I can't count to three: I added one spare set of wheel an axle in case you brake one. Not that this ever happened to me… :-D
The container also has fairly tight tolerances. With the right material and print settings, it should friction-fit onto the truck.
Have fun building your own little container fleet!
