I was gifted a 3D printer, it has a very small build volume so it's going to take a while to print it all. I have begun to print one of the designs I put on Thingiverse, and figured I would share the progress here as I beta test building the truck. The first thing I tested was a wheel because it was going to be the least challenging to print. Today I printed a tire to go on that wheel. So that is where we are. More to come! As I print the parts if I encounter a problem I will iterate the design and upload it.
If you have a 3d printer and want to build along you can download the model on my Thingiverse page.

So far so good. What kind of printer did you get? And what sort of material are you using?

A YouTuber that I've been following for a while gave me his TronXY X1. It has a 150mm cubed build volume. I'm printing in "Silver Metal" 3D Solutech PLA filament

I hope so, i only end up with enough time to print 1 or two things a day so it’ll be slow going but I will keep grinding away at it. Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Well...that could have went better
But I have an idea to make it better, print faster and be stronger. So heading to Blender to iterate the design....now. I might live stream the process on my YouTube channel in a few. Sub to Tanner3D on YouTube to see live streams of designing and iterating my designs. Join in, chat, help me make a better model.

Iterated the axle design and wheel. Thickened the axle shaft a bit and totally revamped the way I'm doing the axles. Printing an axle now wheel next. We will see soon.
Meanwhile printed a Frame section with connector joints and pins.

Got the axle problems sorted, printed a second wheel and tire and mounted it all up.
