Not long after I first test printed my hand truck, I was at a buddy's shop and saw a welding cart there. Ended up taking a couple pics for reference and made one in 1:18 scale in my own style.
Aside from the chain, every piece is designed from scratch. Still need to get the handle to work, but not sure if I can without a resin printer. We'll see. The design has already been updated for better printing/assembly, but have to wait for new printers before I can test. Update 3-9-2020: 99% done now that I figured out a way to print the welding handle and using a lighter piece for the tip. Remaining 1% is going over a few prints to ensure the quality is high enough to sell. The initial run will unpainted with painted options later on. Hope you enjoy!

Yup, zombie BATs! Got into 3d printing mainly for a big Mindbender dio involving these. My theory is that once a trooper dies, he's turned into a zombie trooper. When the zombie is damaged, cybernetic parts are replaced up until all that's left is a BAT. I posted a few pics/idea in this WIP thread as well.
Thanks, btw! Can't wait to test the tweaked design. I especially can't wait to see it in multiple colors.

Haven't had much time for this stuff lately but am so close to having the new printers fine-tuned enough to start adding stuff like this to my Etsy store.
Just updated the first post with pics of what I think may be the final product. Maybe a few tiny fitment tweaks but that would be it. Learned alot from this one in designing parts specifically intended for FDM printing. Pretty damn happy with this result.

Brilliant work man. How did you handle printing the cage part. Did you have to clean supports out of there or did you let the printer just bridge the gaps?

Yeah, the cage was a pain. The first iteration had two taller parts, printed upside down for no supports. That was on my old printer which had enough of a z wobble that I wasn't happy with the result. On one of my two new printers, the z is good, but to be safe, made 3 shorter parts. A lil stringing, but a lighter and a couple scrapes and they look as shown.
