auick google search ,all 3 in one for you just crop out from the pic,word will let you do that ,then shrink down and print,

dont tend to buy much of the modern mf stuff, just not my think age wise , but i have seen a good few of them 5s loaders this way, and uh doing mf loaders compared to say fendt or nh and the rest , is actually a rare thing, only seen one other, so i may just invest in one of them

the marston ones are pretty easy to do your self, being on a white background, plenty of pics on google and down size them, the ace decal may be a bit harder to find, but i have seen them, just need a decent printer and some white decal vinyl or even waterslide paper then ,i did them when i used to do my marston cut down and repaint ones years ago .

i nearly went for the twin axels, they didnt have grain tops though, both were just the drop side height , there was also one of the high tips that smithy has posted . do wish i had got a derv bowser, but they still come up from time to time.

wonder who got the twin axel ones of the m&m auction last year?? wasnt aware that he had done those

had a small misshap with the first trailer, i dropped it, however i had already printed a second body out with a few amendments to it, so have a complete base now, working screw jack, sides drop and rear tailgate swings and is removable for a silage top, its a bit tight at the mo as i have not sanded it down properly,and requires a small alteration as well , whilst altering issues with the 6 ton,i have also been altering the potential 8 ton at the same time, plus working on the chassis inc the way the way the rears will pivot properly on opposite sides, but the last pic does sort of show how it will look, with hopefully the same features. next step sort a grain top, and then attempt a silage top

i have 3 of his trailers,two versions of the 3.5 ton pettit ( one has a removable grain top) and a 3.5 ton ransomes, also have a un made mill loader of his, which i managed to buy when he retired, not got round to getting a scaledown te20 to fit it to yet though

no that was his friend, george poole? i think was his name, i got a couple of grain silos of him, and my water tower on the layout. all made from card and other bits. very nice stuff , wish i could have afforded his barns and other bits at the time. really nice guy to talk to, very helpful in advising how to make stuff yourself

just seen pics of this on faceslap, company doing after market tracks all round, but as someone else noticed, surely the rear and front hitchs would need pushing out, the front due to steering, as to me they look like the would foul a front implement , and the rear one looks to be way inside the tracks at the bottom where they stick out,could poss work on a trailed implement ,but not on a drafted item like a sumo or similar.

been at work since 4.30 this morn, got home about 2.30, luckily a relatively easy job, which i would have happily done on a normal weekday, but our new safety rules combined with engineers who are more than happy to throw the job back due to them, has lined my pockets nicely for xmas at least

not been in bury for ages now, did go in a fair bit as a kid during the lifting season when we would take our own in with the leyland constructer tipper , just before we gave up doing beet it was easier to let a contractor and artic take it, just meant it sat on our muck heap pad a bit longer thats all . just put some bales between it and the muck.

i guess you get waste with any printer, even resin, this new software slicer i have now tell you a total cost in resin, but doesn't break it down to model and supports, so hard to tell, the trailers cost in at £1.87 of resin so it claims ?

Doubt our old jcb3c would have handles a bucket that size when doing beet😂😂😂 goes to prove what those artic handlers will lift mind , as i always remember beet being an pretty heavy crop when handling it

Not as many as you think to be honest james , once i played with the support settings i halved it, second prints running, with some tinkering its down to same layer level detail wise but now a 3 and a half hour print , was nearly 9 on the older settings , just playing to find that perfect detail against time print, machines great mind, straight out of the box, i very simple bed level(was factory set but did it anyway) and push print. Its more the software thats difficult being new

what a huge step up from the filament one i bought, few niggles to overcome ,like removing bits before curing, as only one side door will drop,must have been some crud in the joins of the others, and re positioning the model on the bed, as its cut part of a corner of the chassis,which is more me that the model but very happy with it,lot stronger than the filament ones,and less prep work before paint . no2 on the go as i type after sorting a vent pipe for it found my tyres as well, just need to sort out proper casting of those ,but have 8 good ones, just bubbles on one side

yeah it will run through the curing station when done, put the tines through for 5 mins each side, seems to be the common time going by all the comments and videos i have seen, starting to realise how to trim time, mainly on the lift height between levels, so it will be 4 mm instead of factory set 8 mm, which takes 4 seconds of a layer in turn adds up quickly on say. a 4000 odd layer which is running now ,few other bits can be altered as well, like layer level, but you then need to sand lines ect. most seem to save by the lift height

is that one of james kits ?, not made mine yet, but have been pondering adding the silage sides, even though i dont do grass on the layout

second print went wrong, somehow managed to get both items merged on the program, and didnt notice till half way through, spent an hour last night going through the chitta program and figuring out what i got wrong , and remade another file, which went on at 7.30 this morning, so far looks spot on to what i want, chassis and body in one print at 10 hours, so half the filament ones time. only bonus of the failed 2nd print, it had proven that the trailer works, and all the holes are there, they all fit fine and even though i have not bother curing it, its very strong already. got wheels ,grain shoots and a few other small bits out, which again all look perfect,very impressed with it so far, even if the old duffer on the laptop has buggered a few bits up 😂😂

here you go james,and zac, its pretty basic, just two lengths of plastistrut, joined by two bits of tube, which squares it all up and gives it a bit of strength , i did put a bit of tube between your chassis axel as well, but more to tidy up than anything else . didnt need to raise it or anything height wise as your original pivot point height is spot on

cheers james, the second prints off and running now, using the washable stuff, so i will try that method for removing it when its done. seem to be having a few issues with the printer not recognising the file names at the mo, no idea as its what chittabox calls them ,so need to resolve that, but thats more new software and me to be honest. then its down to settings to find the best speed against detail/finish ,again trial and error i think

sorry joe was having a senior moment , yes at this scale the detail is stunning, recon its 1/16 or close to it , once the mother has been taken home 😂😂 birthday meal tonight ,so tomorrow i will be trying a trailer ,in washable resin , see what comes out was a pain cleaning up standard resin,

have a feeling i know what i did scale wise, i printed my oversized master so to speak ,not the scaled down one,doubt the detail will be as good down to 1/32, i recon its prob not far off 1/16 looking at it.i do sometimes scale the plan up so i can see where bits aint joining properly , but i did break a few springs off when taking the supports off. nothing that cant be glued back on though i recon ,

Its out , and washed and cured , may have somehow made it bigger than 1/32 , looks to big , but right now i dont care , it worked 😁😁😁just got to get the supports off , model its self is smooth as hell , no layer lines at all

just a little one, 12 cm wide there abouts, 2-3 deep, i am printing on factory setting,speed wise , just want to get used to it, plus there supports on it,as it prints at an angle, isnt a huge amount of resin going by the slicer,30 ml, but its on a detailed layer setting, once i get the hang i can adjust exposure setting and speed lift setting , which makes it quicker. its weird mind, hardly any noise, no obvious light, for the life of me i cant figure out how its actually working making the print, theres 4980 odd layers on it last time i looked it was on 400

my ipa finally arrived and print no1 is now under way,9 hour print of a rear harrow .time will tell, been looking at speed settings ect and to be honest, even on basic factory settings, at .005mm per layer its still quicker than the filament one ,and with the trailers i get main body and chassis in one print, but thats print no2 ,lets see how this one goes .
